yesterday

as we left swimming lessons i saw this car parked in front of my big truck.
 

 
i said "oh....that is pretty....ohhhhh.....i like that car"
sean looked at it and said "but mom, there are only two seats!"
and talby said "exactly.  one for her and one for dad."
i smiled.
annie didn't miss a beat "WELL...i'm gonna need 2 CAMPER CARS when i have my 12 kids!"

we went to the zoo for a short visit.
it was hot.
very hot.

the zoo had the misters everywhere to cool the kids off.
sean's hair was so funny.

all the animals were loving the kids.
 

we gave him some ice.  
he liked it.


we were alone by the lions.
all three were asleep.
sean gave this very realistic roar a few times....woke up the daddy.
that got them very excited.
he got up and walked right up to the glass and started pawing at the glass and showing his teeth.
if there was no glass....he would have killed us.
he was not playing with us.
the zoo keeper came over and stood there till we left.....kind of to get us to leave.


the tigers were asleep too.
until we sat down next to them.
then they were wide eyed.
the were convinced that talby & annie's yellow shirts were the cause of the animals liking them today.   



snow cone break.

we saw these in the gift shop and we were inspired for craft thursday.
which will be craft friday again this week.
  
then to the car.
hot drive home.
quiet drive home.

oh how i love the dvd player and wireless headphones.
  
we came home and every child went somewhere seperate....by choice.
they each played quietly....for hours.
it was like there were no children here!
crazy.
i took a book to my lawn chair in my swimsuit and vegged for an hour.

i needed that.
it rocked.
