A Zoo of a Day....

So, yesterday, Tuesday, I decided to take Hayden and Evangeline to the Zoo. So we leave early to get there for opening time, and on the way Evangeline says " I am not feeling better" but she never felt sick......so I was hoping for the best, i gave her her juice and hoped we would get there in time. Not two minutes later i heard her coughing, and more smelled something, and looked back, and sure enough, she had lost her breakfast. So, after talking to her mom, and finding out this had happened a few times lately, we decided to press on with the zoo. She wore hayden's 6-9 month onesie , that fit) and hayden shorts that he was wearing that day, and hayden went in just a onesie! Im sure Thad would have been so embarressed because he would have thought everyone was thinking we were trailer trash....but he was awfully cute, i dont think anyone thought that.
So we had a great time at the zoo, and then it was time to leave, and we were all tired, struggling to make it to the car. Hayden fell asleep in the stroller on the way , and then Evangeline was doing a good job walking but got tired so here i am caring a 2.5 year old and trying to still push my cheapo stroller that definelty needs two hands.
so we get to the car......and of course, I cant find my keys. Im trying not to panick because I tried so hard when we got there to keep track of them while changing and trying to clean up Evangeline. But of course now there gone!!!!! So great great Tara ( and son Malachi) decide to wait with me for AAA. I am thinking the keys are in my trunk because the last thing I did was get the stroller. So after 45 min of Evangeline being really good, and Hayden sleeping for most of them, he comes and ...................NO KEYS!!!!!!!!! not in teh car, not in the trunk! Im floored. I kinda thought they wouldn't be there though,.....i had suspected that i just left them by the car when i left. so.............Im almost panicking, but then im like, well, at least ill check the lost and found, maybe someone turned them in?
Praise the Lord, despite a dorky and dumb guy/ boy at the desk they were my keys. But they got sent to another gate. So i trapse (sp?) with the two kids, Evangeline in teh stroller holding Hayden on her lap ( thank goodness) to the other entrance and get my keys. And im to mad to ask where they found them because they wouldn't send my keys to the entrance I was at. And we make it back to the car!!!!!!!! yah, on our way home! i never thought it would come. We tried to lave at 12:30 and ended up leaving at 2.....so not as bad as i was thinking though when i let my mind wander!
Despite taking wrong turn and sitting in traffic for 20 min we made it home and they both napped once we got home!!!!!!! And that was the greatest blessing of all! And when i later told thad, he made me a drink and dinner! What a great husband! and he bathed Hayden! yah
A quick little update on HM's talking, he now says outside very clearly, shoe, bath, dada, but not really mama.....and repeats what you say, but those are the best so far! and sorry no pics.
Also we are moving, the camera stuff is packed. At the end of the month were moving to Ballard, just north of the city. From the south where we are now! We are so happy to be moving there because there is a ton within walking distance,(shops, restaurants, water, beach, etcs) and its its own community/ old fishing village. But just quaint but really close to the city still. We'll be in a 2bed/1 ba house with yard!!!! Yard was the most important part since HM wakes up saying outside.......sometimes at 5am! so. Ill try to write more about that later. But we are very very excited!
