Whatcha been doing?!

So far, here's what we have been up to!!!

The St. Louis Zoo!  The zoo is free so its easy to go for a whole day or just an hour...really nice when you just can't seem to find anything else to do that day.  
The petting zoo

Hanging with friends...lots of this going on!

Wii

chit chatting

nice shades Lil!


 I have been busy playing with my new camera.  I hope these pictures look much better to all of you, they sure look better to me!

So many hostas...love their colors

Daylillies

Tiger-striped ornamental grass






 Oh and our perennial favorite summer activity...climbing trees!



Yesterday they even headed out to the tree in our front yard with iPod and speakers (the twenty-first century version of the boom box!) so they could hang and listen to their favorite music...Fun! 

Side Note:
Do you have an "I'M BORED" rule?
The one major annoyance of summer is when my kiddos come to me an say this.  I am thinking of putting in place a rule that whenever you say it you have to add .25 cents to the snow cone fund...what do you think?!

I just did this?!

It's Thursday...actually Thursday and I have some things to be thankful for...on time...whoo hoo!

Thankful for...
my Mother-in-Law
Spring Break
no homework
no schedules

So my MIL is in town visiting us this week and we have been having a ton of fun.  Not only have we been going places and seeing new things, we have been hanging out at home, chatting it up and laughing.  It's been so nice!  I have always loved her dearly but I don't think I have always appreciated her thoroughly.  She is silly, funny, spontaneous, willing to do anything for my kids, and just plain lovely!  Here is some of our fun!

We headed to The Magic House...the StL Children's Museum!  What an awesome place that is...WOW! 


The bubble room was one of my favorite areas and there were many cool areas!


This was very cool.  You just stood there and danced to the music.  This is Baba (the word for Grandma in Croatian) and Lili!


Cool!

very Cool!

Very very cool!


We also hit the fabulous StL Zoo!  It was such a beautiful day!  Some highlights...

Even though they are getting big, everyone still loves the carousel!
"Don't mind me, I'm just going to eat my corn!"

"Go Away mister", "Oh but I wuv you so!"

"Oh I am so beautiful, look at my big, strong arms...are you impressed?!"

"Why can't I come hang out with you?"

"Oh my, I can't always entertain you people!"




The very cool train.  It takes about 20 minutes and it gives you a full tour of the zoo.

We saw a few animals but a lot of them seemed to be sleeping yesterday.  It was still great fun!


Today I think is a hang out day here at home...specifically requested by one of my kiddos...crazy huh?!
So let me say, Thank you Carolyn for being a great and wonderful Mom and Mom-in-Law!   Love!
