Scary Dinos and Scary Messes!

I still need to blog about our fun spring break, but currently those pictures are on our other computer who is having it's operating system upgraded so I can't access them.   So in an attempt to be better about posting more often - here are some pics from the past week.

Shaef loves the zoo and loves any type of animal.  He also LOVES Dinos.  So when Jacksonville Zoo opened up their Dinoalive exhibit, I knew Shaef needed to see it!  Kacey and Brooklyn took us on their buddy pass and we had a fun day!  When we got to the Dinos.  Shaef was in Heaven...until the Dino growled (or whatever noise Dinos make).  He started crying and tried to get out of his stroller - he was a little frightened.  The only reason I got the picture below was because he didn't know that Dino was behind him yet!  I held him through the rest and we made it - he still thought they were cool, just didn't want to get close to them.  I didn't realize how real he thought the dino's were until we got home and were telling Dad about what we saw and Shaef said "Dino's Scary!  Dino's outside!"  I realized that the animals at the zoo are in cages but the Dino's weren't so he thought they were going to get him...and he thought they were just "outside".  We didn't scare him away from Dino's forever though because he still loves to play with his little Dino figurines and watch dino's on TV.

I Love doing puzzles! Until this last week, I have never done a puzzle that I didn't like.  This puzzle below was only 1,000 pieces....but it was sooooooooooo hard!  It took me (and a few friends) a week to complete this puzzle when I can usually do one in several hours.  I was so proud of our hard work and was trying to decide if I was going to put it away to attempt at a later date - or if I was going to glue it together and keep for a Valentines Decoration.

Shaef made the decision for me......I came down to find this "mess" and a few pieces chewed up.  You can't do a puzzle with missing pieces so it made it's way to the trash!  At least I have proof that it was completed!!
