Our Zoo Trip

We took the girls to the zoo Sunday.  It was a big surprise.  They have been wanting to go and we finally took them.  They really had a great time!  We even had a picnic for lunch.  They see all this stuff on the shows they watch and want to do it as well.  SO, we saw the elephants like "Little Bill", we had a picnic like "Oswald", and then we also got to help "Dora & Diego" save the rainforest in the 4D movie they had there.

After our exploration of the animals, the girls got to play on the Garden Friends Playground.

All in all we had a great trip to the zoo!  The girls are ready to go back again!  

What a wonderful way to spend the day as a family!

Playin' In The Rain

Thursday's Plan

Trying to keep 3 small children occupied all day everyday can get a little tiring.  So today, I am taking the kiddos to the Grand Opening of our new Chic-fil-A restaurant.  I think they have a play place so that will entertain the kids for a bit.  I figure it will get us out of the house for a while. 

I was watching on the news where people are already camping outside waiting to be one of the first 100 people in.  Chic-fil-A gives free food for a year to the first 100 people in.  I am not that interested in free food!

Guess all those people out there with their tents and air mattresses are really making the cows happy!  LOL!

Sunday's In Our House

Sunday mornings are a little crazy in our house. This is the only day of the week that we have to get up by a certain time and actually get ready to go to church.

We have started going to a new church where the girls have an actual classroom to go to. I love this because they can actually learn about God instead of just playing while I am in church.

We have been having a few difficulties. My youngest, Sarah, is not liking going to class by herself. She has never been by herself doing anything. Guess that is one benefit and downfall, as I am discovering, of having an older sister so close in age.

Sarah is determined that she is NOT going to stay in her class. She lasts maybe 10 minutes and then they call me to come and get her because she is upset.

I have tried bribing her to stay, she even stayed in Savanah's class one Sunday. Nothing seems to be working. I do not know how to get her adjusted to being on her own. I know its going to take time, however if she does not stay in there, I do not think it's going to happen.

Any of you mothers out there have suggestions?
