Great day for the zoo

Sunday we decided to go to the zoo ( trying to get the most out of our annual zoo pass!).

It was a great day to visit- seemed all the animals were super entertaining and active. Dyllan just LOVES animals.. All of them.

What have you done all day?

Although I only have 1 kid, this is how I feel on Mondays - my day "off" when I have Dyllan and a weeks worth of dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, and errands to do.  I love this story.. just had to share...

A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found …an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.

He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel… She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, ‘What happened here today?’ She again smiled and answered, ‘You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?…

”Yes,” was his incredulous reply..
She answered, ‘Well, today I didn’t do it.’

Its funny cause its so true.. if men only knew what the house looked like BEFORE they got home.. maybe they wouldn't ask what we've been doing all day?!  I have to say though- Dan is a great Mr. Mom and he can probably relate to this story just as much as I can- cause he has Dyllan to himself all day on Saturdays and I'm sure he goes through this himself cause he is exhausted by the time I get home from work;)

Here is a photo I took just now... does it look anything like the one above?!  Minus a few kids..

Chocolate monster for breakfast

Woke up this morning to this chocolate monster baking muffins with her dad!

Wanna know how to keep a two year old busy for half hour?! Give her the bowl and a spoon. She was in heaven- giggling and singing and licking every little bit of batter possible. But try to take her spoon?? And you're in BIG trouble.

Corn Pig

Corn Piggy Dyllan ate all 4 pieces of corn before we could even cook them.. Think she likes corn?!

Fashionista or embarrassment at the mall?

Too cool- Sunday walk

Jumping Castle

I dropped Dyllan off at daycare this morning and this was the surprise waiting for the kids! You can't tell from the photos ( and I had to sneak a few photos since you can't take any at daycare) but she is LOVING it!! She's going to be exhausted tonight..
