Breakfast by Leo

That's what little boys are made of...

Friday night. We were exhausted. The weather was nice, so we ate our pizza outside. They started playing in the mud, and we were just too tired to stop it. Every kid needs to play in the mud sometimes.

Muffins for Mom

Leo's school had a little celebration on the Fri before Mother's Day.

He made me a little book.

"when me and my mom were camping"

"Jazz Baby"
"do a project"
"make me laugh when you tickle me"
"ride my bike"
"twinkle twinkle little star"
"play a game"
"kiss me"
"you know how to cook dinner"
"cook us dinner"

I'm really shocked that he mentioned dinner, since he only eats about 25% of what I cook.

Food - pizza with extra pepperoni
Color - green
Movie - Golden Girls
Place to Eat - Jason's Deli
Flower - SunFlower
Place to shop - WalMart
Hobby - Runs
Sport - soccer

All the other moms around us had "watches TV" as their hobby, so I was pretty pleased that he didn't put that for me! Contrary to my actions, WalMart is not my favorite place to shop. And I'm not sure why he thinks my favorite color is green.

Mother's Day at The Zoo

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do for Mother's Day - and the Dallas Zoo won the mental list. It opens at nine, which gives us the most hours before naptime (compared to The FW Zoo). A brunch is just too much of a risk - you never know if going out to eat with these two will be a good time or not. The weather turned out just perfect for this today. It was overcast and 69 when we got there. We had a great, great time.

We always ride the elephants in the parking lot first.

The gorillas were eating breakfast and very active this morning. We really got to see them up close!

This one just sat down and stared right back at us.

We rode the 1980s monorail. I love this little monorail - I always feel like I'm in that amusement park episode of the Brady bunch. Maybe Mike will jump on at any moment looking for his lost plans.

Of course, the Shrek crocs were there.

They love to pet the bunnies in the Children's area.

We fed the birds today - Leo and I actually went in first, but somehow I didn't have the camera. This is Leo's FAVORITE thing to do at the zoo, and they landed all over him today. He was thrilled. Henry had a good time, too, but didn't want them to land on his arms. So I held the feed stick most of the time down where the birds would be near him. Then he was eventually brave enough to hold the stick.

The zoo has a new exhibit called "Ghosts of the Bayou" that has albino alligators. We saw it for the first time today. Pretty neat!

We always ride the carousel just before we leave. The boys wanted to ride in this spinning nest for the first time today - they loved it!
