A Married Couples Weekend

A couple weekends ago Aurelio and I went to the Dallas Zoo; it was a cool windy day, but we enjoyed seeing the animals with a minimal crowd. Here are a few photos from our outing.



(Saturday March 14th)
Aurelio has started a new project; creating a stand for the washer and dryer so I don't have to bend down so much to do laundry. I'm really looking forward to using it; though we haven't quite figured out how to lift the washer and dryer to get them onto it.

I have almost completed my first baby blanket and have started on the second one already - I just couldn't wait! I'm surprised at how addicting it has become. I'm looking forward to being advanced enough to make baby bonnets and sweaters. Speaking of baby, he/she has been very active this weekend!! Kicking and punching all over the place! I enjoy just sitting back and watching my belly jump and jiggle. My back has started to hurt a lot more; but nothing I can't handle. I just try to do more yoga than walking these days.

(Sunday March 15th)
Our plans were to go get a mani/pedi and then go to the Dallas Aquarium to eat the sandwiches we packed; but we got to the exit for the Aquarium on I-30 and realized we left the camera in the nail salon back in Garland. We decided to go back and get it - forfeiting the trip to the Aquarium. We ended up going to the nursery by our house; purchased a few plants and made our way home. (It's funny the things you enjoy when you get older.) I heard a couple girls walking with their mother threw all the beautiful flowers saying "Ugh, can we go now, I'm SO bored" I couldn't help but smile a little. When we arrived home, I happily went about putting soil into the pots and mixing in plant food, then carefully set the flowers into the pots and filled in the edges with more soil. Aurelio picked out a neat bug eating plant; I'm going to let him plant that one since it needs special care. I hope it works on the giant mosquitoes we have here!!


Tonight we're going to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie while I crochet and he "programs/codes" his latest and greatest video game. Then it's back to work on Monday...weekends are just too short.
