Weekend Plans and Randomness

I'm getting so excited for this weekend. My sisters and I are throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law! She's going to have a little boy in September, which will bring the count to 2 nephews and 4 nieces for those of you keeping score at home. I'm excited to meet the little guy and I'm excited to see family and friends at the shower. I'm also excited to post some pics of the decor that I made for the shower. I love doing crafty stuff and this has been a great creative outlet for me. 

I'm also excited for a bit of a girls weekend. Tim is going to watch the kiddos while I go to Indy with my aunts and cousins. Although I'm always a little nervous to leave the girls (I've never left Emma overnight), I know it will be good for me to get a little bit of a break and for the girls to have a good time with their daddy. 

On a completely unrelated note, my big plans for today included cleaning up the house for Community Group tonight. A friend posted on Facebook that she was going to the zoo today and wanted to know if anyone wanted to join her. So, I packed up the girls and headed for the zoo! Evie enjoys the zoo now, although she doesn't like to get too close to the animals (through the glass). I think she's a little scared. But we had a great time! She's so interested in everything these days! 

Speaking of Evie being interested in everything, yesterday Tim picked 2 tomatoes from our garden and put them on the window sill to ripen. Evie ran into the dining room this morning yelling "'Toes! 'Toes!" (tomatoes, she also calls cucumbers "'bers'"). She had found the tomatoes and was eating one. This girl just can't get enough of her veggies!
