This Giraffe licked the wall for a really long time! You could see how the paint was coming off in that one spot.
The momma giraffe kept trying to give the baby loving. So sweet!
Eating ice cream outside Dollar Tree b/c we have a new, NO EATING in the van rule. Noah took this one of Clay and me.
We started the day off by everyone pitching in and cleaning the house. That in its self is amazing.
Today, we had one of the best days we have had in a long time. It was a beautiful day, so we went to the zoo, and it was so pleasant. Being the middle of a weekday, there weren't many people there at all, the weather was perfect, and most of the animals were out to see. The kids were in good spirits until right at the very end, (Rachel got tired). I had my mommy cam, and the kids were very cooperative to let me take their picture. One time though, when we were standing by the elephants, I tried to get Rachel to look at me, and she said, "I AM TRYING TO LOOK AT THE ELEPHANTS, MOMMA!" Then, I started picking on her, and she took off running screaming, "STOP TRYING TO TAKE MY PICTURE!" If you know her at all with her little attitude, I am sure you can imagine.
Then, after we got home, the kids made a new friend, a new girl that just moved here, and she was really sweet to them. They get so excited about making new friends, and lately the only one they have had to play with is this girl that is SO MEAN to them, and everyone else. The first thing the new girl said to me was that she knew that other girl, and that she is mean to her too! She had tried to run over her with her bike!
Then, we came in and all worked together to make a pizza for supper. Then Clay and I actually got to sit down and watch one show together while the kids were playing and taking a bath. We played a game, read a book, and the icing on the cake.....Rachel let me hold her like a baby for her to go to sleep! I miss getting to do that, and she lets me every once in an while. I wish I had a picture of that!
Now, hopefully everyone will stay in their beds, and we can enjoy a little bit of peaceful T.V. watching!
