Post #2 for the day. Smarty Pants.

We have a little ABC toy that the kids love to play with. It is Care Bears and has 3 different games. The hardest of the 3 options is the one that Paden always goes to. The toy asks for an item and you push the letter the item belongs to. The first time I watched Paden play this he just kept getting them all wrong. The last time I watched however, was quite the opposite. I couldn't believe how well he was doing. I had to get the camera. Keep in mind the only thing the toy shows is the ABC's.

The Zoo!

The family and I went to the zoo a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and we were even successful in convincing the kids that the elephant they saw was the baby elephant. That prevented us from having to stand in a freakishly long line to cram into a teeny little stinky room. It was awesome! We had a ton of fun and were able to see lots of animals. The sea lions are still their favorites. I think that is mostly because they come right up to the window. The kids love that. Anyway, here are some pictures and a couple of videos to hopefully make you feel as though you were there too! Enjoy!

Here we are in front of the Sea Lions. The kids favorite place. It's a nice action picture for me Notice my hair whipping around.

After that we went to see the otters. They were going crazy. It was really fun!

We went to see the orangutans and couldn't find them at first. All we had to do was look straight down. One was sitting right at our feet against the glass. The other one was in the corner with a box over his head. It was too dark to take a picture of him. It was pretty funny though.

Here are the kids telling us where we are going next on the map.

Here they are walking through the little tunnel. They kept going through over and over again. They loved it!

We finished the day off with ice cream cones. It was a grand old time!!

Boys don't bother reading this!!

So Ellie has had this obsession with breasts for the longest time. (Remember the coconut bra?) Last night I was blow drying her hair and felt her little hands on my chest. I quickly got her hands off and explained that she can't do that because it is mommy's chest and not hers. It's one of mommy's private areas. She (once again) asked what they were. I told her they were breasts. She promptly pulled up her shirt and pointed to her own. "I only have little breasts mommy. When do I get big ones?" WHAT IS THE FRICKIN' OBSESSION? Is this something she is going to outgrow? Is this normal or is she more interested than most little kids? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to end the wondering? I don't know what to do. Is this all because I am busty?

Super Strong!!

So lately my scrawny little children have been walking around showing us their "big" muscles. I think it's really cute and had to get a video of it. So here they are showing us their muscles.
