Zoo Days

You couldn't get Charly off the slide!

Who's the biggest monkey....Will or Paige?

Jen, Jodi, Brook and I all decided to start going to the zoo more often.....while the weather is nice! It was a great day. The cousins all had a great time playing together and we even got some exercise in with all of those hills! I totally counted it...and had that second coke! It all evens out, right?

Thanks, girls, for a fun day. We hope to do it again soon!

Paige lost her first tooth!

Paige has had a wiggly tooth for weeks! She didn't want to pull it, or let me do it either. Well, I wasn't really thinking when I gave her chicken and carrot sticks for lunch! Lo and behold, her tooth came out. The bad news....she must have swallowed it along with her lunch! We couldn't find it anywhere!

She was worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't come because she didn't have a tooth to put under her pillow. We wrote the tooth fairy a note instead, and she was very understanding! The next day she was so excited about her dollar that she had to spend it at Target. What she didn't understand was just how little a dollar can really get you! We had fun at the $ bins anyway!! Congratulations, Paige....you're growing up too fast!

Who's the worst slacker in the blogging world???

Ok--so I know I'm behind on laundry, picking up toys, dishes, dusting, washing windows, cleaning out my car, cleaning bathrooms, playing with my kids, etc. The list could go on and on...but blogging? Shouldn't that be more fun than cleaning bathrooms? Couldn't I spare 5 minutes to get on and upload some photos and write a little blurb?? Apparently not. Because, as far as I'm concerned, the blogging world is just another way for me to be inadequate!!

DON'T get me wrong, I have plenty of excuses why I'm not updating, just like I have excuses for why I can't scrub the toilet! My kids have been sick, we were out playing too much, my computer crashed (true story). Now I have no pictures on my computer because they are on an external drive that Brent has to load back onto the computer. He has been working so many hours, that who knows when he'll get to it. And, there's no way I can figure it out...I can't even find where my pictures go without pulling them up on Windows Photo Gallery...and then I can't figure out how to upload them. I'm a mess!

So, I just wanted to post that we are still here, if anyone even checks my blog. They've probably just given up and moved on to someone who actually posts! But I love you all and will post some pics soon, as we have been doing some fun things lately!
