[emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] Your daughters picture is not showing, BUT the politician pics are showing....YIPPPPPEEREE Not!! I would have preferred the pic of your daughter. I have never understood how messing up an object's punishment could be worse than the punishment for taking a life. This worlds justice system is really screwed up.

Daughter’s picture showed then I tried to zoom in and I haven’t seen it since [emoji849]

Good night to all of you! I started work super early this morning, finished up by noon and then picked up son and headed to the Caldwell Zoo again. I visit every year at least, sometimes more. I took some photos and tried to combine them for a shorter post. View attachment 273018View attachment 273019View attachment 273020View attachment 273021View attachment 273022
Last year, the leopard tortoise was housed with the Sulcatas. They moved him out and and a different one in this year.. lots of competition going on there :-(.
That's such a beautiful picture of the two of you. It needs to be in a family photo book.

Today we worked on the new enclosure and one of my reds started laying eggs in an area that wasn’t fenced where we were working.
It takes a couple of hours for the whole process and we had to leave for my daughter’s soccer game. I gave my son instructions and closed of the area the best I could . I saw four but couldn’t get the rest because we had to leave.

I didn’t know the status of the tortoises at the zoo. They have a few others that didn’t make the post. I saw a Texas tortoise, some boxies, another gopher species and some different turtles as well. I have some questions about them also so I may try and find out..

Work is just day to day. There is no upper management right now and our people are at a loss... I know that there are lots of changes going on with this global uniting but we are seeing and hearing nothing.. I am assured that the company has plans for me but at this point, I’ll believe it when I see. I actually think I’m going to take a step back from rising on the corporate ladder and focus more on motherhood. I’m not quitting or anything but Jayden starts kindergarten this year and our public schools are horrible so I will be driving him to a better school. That will limit any travel for work for sure. His education must come first. We moved here when Ally was starting school to be close enough to her mother to still keep Ally 50/50... but that school was one town away and Joey did most of the driving. Jess already had a great start when we bought this house and there wasn’t going to be more children so our schools weren’t an issue...God had other plans so I can pick up on my career after he’s a bit bigger. It’s been driving me nuts but I think this all my final decision..
Your career will be building when you follow your heart. The biggest and best job you'll ever have in your life is your children. Sorry I'll stop preaching now because I totally agree with you.

Daughter is the little thing in the middle. [emoji4]

It’s local election campaign time in Denmark. Many campaign posters have been vandalized in Copenhagen (but not in Roskilde), which is a crime punishable by several years in prison.

Interestingly, punishment could be more severe than that for murder in some cases.

On the way back we also ran into a politician in Roskilde walking around with her donkey. I hear she’s a smart a-s. [emoji23][emoji85]

In the UK it's most of the politicians that should be locked up!!
Your lovely daughter looks like she's really enjoying herself!

I feel like I'm watching a tv reality show on the news daily with the politics...they should all get an actual life. Like the little one dancing her heart out.

Dynamite comes in little packages. She's really cute.
