Zoo Zoo Zoo

We went to the zoo with our friends aka Kim and Ben while they were visiting, and Rob was able to go with us as well. It is difficult not to have fun while visiting our zoo or seeing something new and exciting. Rob was able to experience the zoofari with the kids.

The jungle is always a huge hit for our family.

Kim also blogged a few other things from the weekend as well. The kids playing, building, and laughing. It was a great visit!

That Pottery Place

We went to That Pottery Place with the kids while Kim was visiting. I say kids, but we left the "toddlers" at home. I want to say babies, but technically they aren't babies anymore. Visiting the pottery place had been on my list of things to do and I am glad we finally did it. It was so much fun, we might have to do it again. The kids picked out cups to paint and slathered up with paint inside and out. I decided that I wanted to paint and be artistic as well, so I made a plate. Mason's hands are the crab and Ellery's made one fish. I guess I will have to pick a platter if I want to put all three kids on something some day! Kim blogged the experience as well. She actually took her camera and took pictures of the kids being artists.

Invasion of the Chaplin's

While we were in KC, we stayed with my friend Kim. It was nice being able to catch up with her in my few free wedding moments, and the kids had a great time. She was gracious enough to take on our 3 children so Rob could attend all the wedding festives with me! I owe her big time now. I finally agreed to stay with her if she agreed on bringing in some help. I did my part in staying, but she didn't bring in help! Ben and Kim deserve big gold stars for helping us out!

Other than another front tooth hitting accident that happened right in front of me again, the weekend went off without a hitch. I will have to elaborate more on the tooth later, but Mason is more than likely going to lose a top front tooth before the front bottoms. I better get busy making or finding him a tooth fairy pillow!
