A Bundle of Myrrh

Monday was “Funday” for the family. We headed to Omaha to visit the zoo there for the first time. We had a great time! The girls did very well.


Lily loves Elephants. Until recently most every animal was an Elephant. So I couldn’t wait to see what she’d do when she saw them. Her response was totally “lack luster”. I like to think that she was just too emotionally overwhelmed with the experience….star struck, you know how it is.



They even gave her the show of a lifetime!

At the Gorilla House.

and tigers! Most were sleeping when we walked past, a bit of a downer, but we couldn’t blame them, it was a scorching 79 degrees!

A trip to the desert.

This is what Phil would look like if he were in Africa.

The Aquarium was a favorite spot for all.


Especially Clara who was so emotionally overwhelmed by all the fish and coped by sleeping through the whole thing.

The jellyfish were cool and if you didn’t notice… GLOWING.

On the way home Clara wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had at the zoo until we reminded her that uh, she slept the entire time.

Though scooting remains the transportation method of choice, the walking is on everybody!

Halloween Cometh!

September 17th, 2009 by Aubri


Well, October is coming and with it one of my favorite ‘holidays’, Halloween! Which means time to be cute and creative and come up with something adorable to dress my girls up in. Last year was a chance stroke of brilliance but what to do this year? I wanted to dress Lily as an Elephant since that has been the first animal sound she could make and she thinks all animals are Elephants until recently they are becoming Horses, but I’m not sure how I’d pull off making ears and with my limited amount of time to devote to it I don’t want to do a lame-o job. So an Elephant might be out, same thing with the Monkey idea I had for Clara. So perhaps Pooh and Piglet? That might be easiest though I’ll still have to get pretty creative and do some shopping. I’ll have to go through their clothes this week and see if anything jumps out at me like last year.

Ideas:
Pooh and Piglet
Chicken and an Egg
Rag dolls
Hobos
Farmer and a Cow

**Update** I’ve found the greatest costume and idea for the girls. Bring it on Halloween!
