At the Zoo!

We went to the Zoo last Friday. The kids had a ball. My friend Robyn invited us. So it was very nice going with her and her kids. Even though we had gone to the Zoo (Waco) before, I think this time was even more enjoyble because it was practically empty. Were did the people go? I have no idea, but the kids were so happy to get into the reptiles rooms, or the acuarium etc.

After the zoo Robyn was very nice invited us dinner also. Today I took Mason to the park with Nicky. They dropped him off at 10:30 a.m and I took him home at 5:45p. Nicky misses her old friend J. After we left Mason's house she was asking me to go and visit her friend J., but then she remembered he's not here. It's sad, she is looking for a new best friend. Today at Chick fill-A she was asking a girl if she would be her new BEST FRIEND. Of course by the time that she had to go, she asked me again, "Mom, why isn't Jay here?" Anyway, I thought that would be a closed chapter, since she hadn't mention his name for ages. Glenn and I when we refers about The Hobbs in front of the kids we say just their incials. The H. , or little G (for Grant) or just el Jota (in Spanish J it's pronaounce Jota) anyway, I hope she can get over it when we are in Canada, with her cousins.

Talking about Nicky, I'm so happy for her. She is making a lot of progress with the languanges, which I thought would never happen. It's so nice to hear her talk, well most of the time. She has being asking me for her Christmas presents already. She wants a Car and a Computer. What a girl. I'm already saving some money for that but, I'm debating. We won't know where we are going to live, and a car...well it's to add more space to the truck that we are going to rent. The computer, I guess I could deal with it. There is not day that she doesn't mention this subject. Mom maybe later I can have my car and my computer." At least I know that she sticks to her petitions. I remember when she was asking me for her princess castle. She was the happiest girl on earth. I'm trying to explaing to her about the gift cards. So maybe Santa could bring instead of a car a gift card with enough credit to buy a car at Wal Mart? I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's the only thing that I can think of without struggling with the packing etc.etc.etc.

However it's not that she is not going to get the present. I just don't want to add more to the collection of "WE WON'T TAKE THIS WITH US, TOO MUCH SPACE." I'll see what I'll do.

For Ian I'm already thinking about buying him a table for all his trains and and tracks, but still, ANOTHER TABLE TO PACK? I know we are barely in June and I'm already thinking about Christmas. Well I guess I have too much free time.

Changing subjects, I'm getting very bored with not having a hobbie anymore. I finished the Harry Potter books last month. I loved it. I wouldn't read it again this year, but perhaps next. I'm trying to find a new book to read, but I'm so disconnected. Glenn was about to buy me Twilight, but I'm not sure if I want to read that book. It's just that I'm scared that it's going to be like the Hunchback of Notre Dame that had disastrous endings. I'm the kind that thinks it's worth it if everybody is happy at the end.
