My kids were so bored, they did this...

Because, I mean, we have NO toys in the house at all.

Some chatter for your Tuesday

I've been slacking in the blogging department, I know. Because this week is crazy busy, I probably won't make up for it either. I shall try, however, to win you over with this video from a few weeks ago of our quiet baby boy:

Honestly. Could Jim have rubbed off on him any more?

Sun, Animals and Some Large Extinct Things

It was Saturday. It was gorgeous outside for the first time in perhaps weeks. We hadn't done anything fun together just us as a family of four for what seemed like forEVER. What to do?

Who wants to see some bears...

big cats...

and baby elephants??

WE DO! WE DO!
Now show me some excitement!


'Twas somebody's naptime...not that it mattered to him.

There were dinosaurs to be seen!

Excited...but also a little bit nervous about the not-real-but-still-very-large-and-loud-and-big-toothed machines. I mean dinosaurs.

We trekked through the mist (aaaahhhhh - that's background music for y'all)...

and found prehistoric crocodiles eating fish!

And then - DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNN - we were attacked!

Henry just looked that dino in the eye and told him he was loud. Snap!

AND THEN WE WERE ALMOST EATEN ALIVE!!!!

Henry made it out okay, though...

and played some drums in celebration.

Then we watched this guy

watch his ladies fight.

One of those ladies told us to mind our own business,

so we went and played peek-a-boo elsewhere.

Operation: naptime, success! So what if it's two hours too late!

Of course, one cannot stay asleep when he smells the aroma of lunch!

Please sunshine, come back. We would like to have more days like this. Next time, maybe mommy can hold the camera so we can have proof that the man of the house was with us!

Side note: the dinosaur exhibit was pretty cool! We had to pay $10.50 for our whole family and we'll only go the one time, but I think it is worth it if your kid loves dinosaurs.
