Zoo Pals!!

Morgan has on her Horton shirt & her water bottle is full....she's officially ready for the zoo!

"I wanna pet the giraffe....closer!!"

There's Gracie!

"See Gracie, we hug the elephant like this!"


"Do you think the kangeroo would like a goldfish?"


Liberty & Gracie are glad they don't have to brush those big teeth!

Getting seated on the train for the ride back up to the front.

The whistle blows...here we go!

What a mess!!

This is one of the many typical situations I walk in to with dealing with three kids in this house: the 2 year old, the 10 year old & the 40 year old.

The biggest kid thought it would be funny to give the littlest kid an open bottle of baby powder.

As she walked through the mess she made in the living room, she made white footprints ALL OVER THE HOUSE!!

I love this pic. You can't quite see all of it in her hair & on her face but it was everywhere. For the record, this happened like 4 days ago & I still haven't gotten all of it up...it keeps reappearing from out of nowhere!!




Morgan & Drake just out cruisin'

We met up with Dione & Drake @ Toys'R'Us one Saturday afternoon for a Thomas the Train storybook time. The Thomas event was a flop but the cars were a huge hit!

Pimpin' her ride!

We came straight from ballet class hence the outfit.

'Ready Buddy? Hold on!!'


'OK, your turn to drive!!'

'I better hold on tighter!!'

Keeping MoMo busy...

Morgan likes to hang out with me in the kitchen. She has a little step ladder that she drags out as soon as she hears the pots & pans come out. (Most of you know I really don't cook but you do have to boil water for pasta & brown beef/turkey for Hamburger Helper!!)

I first started giving her dry rice to move with a measuring spoon from one bowl to another. Once she mastered that we moved on to stringing large pasta onto soft rubbery threads. She's making a "neckwacess."

She enjoys doing it, it keeps her little hands away from the hot surface & I figured she could work on her fine motor skills.

Me: "Do you need any help Morgan?"
Mo: "No, I do it."
Moments later...Mo: " I did it!" (Repeat after EVERY piece.)
Now...to find a way to keep her from eating it!! Do they make jalapeno flavored pasta?
