quite possibly too many pics

Surely it's not possible for me to put too many cute pictures in one post is it???? 

Tire swing fun

on the "rainbow slide"

Soooo serious, but sooooo cute!

You found me in the tunnel!!!!!

His favorite way to go down the slide

So happy

He loves to go to the slides!!!!!!

Too many????  Nah! :)

Day of Fun #9, Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo

This week for our fun time we went to the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo.  Mommo came with us and we all had a lot of fun and were very tired when we got home!

Mommo feeding the giraffes.

Liam wasn't so sure what he thought about being eye-to-eye with a giraffe!

Mommo and Kyra on the carousel.

Liam and Mommo on the carousel.  He doesn't look excited, but he LOVED it!

Looking at the hippo going for a swim.

Trying to get a glimpse of the hippo!

The hippos are my favorite, always have been!

They were very impressed with what the gorillas were eating.  After finishing a pepper, this one had a carrot.  The kids loved that the gorillas like to eat the same things they do!

Back to looking at the giraffes.
Liam's favorite thing to see at the zoo was the tiger, mine was the hippo, Mommo's was the giraffes, and Kyra liked riding the SkyRide best (it's like a big ski lift that goes up the mountain and then back down-for me who is not a fan of heights, probably my least favorite part of the day!)

We played outside on the tire swing and roller coaster when we got home.

By 6, they were looking like this.  A teensy bit tired!

 

My Aunt Sandy gave the kiddos these hats a couple weeks ago.  They decided to don them
this morning for a fashion show!

 

Fun Day # 8

Last week was a crazy, busy week around here.  I started a new job and am in training from 7am 'til 11am.  The job will have me working from home, so the training is at home.  Wrangling the kids and trying to focus on what is being presented has been....challenging.  The kids aren't usually up when I start and they are pretty needy when they do get up (I get juice and stuff out for them, they just want to be held and cuddled, and it's hard to hold and cuddle kiddos and interact over the internet with an instructor and 36 "classmates.").  So, until about 8:30 or 9 I am rather un-focused.  I'm not feeling very confident the job will really fit our family and our needs at this time, but I'm going to give it a shot. And, in the meantime, be looking for something else!
But, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last week or so.  I LOVE the spring time.  I seriously think my soul says, "ahhhh!" at the first hint of trees budding and daffodils popping up.  I know it does when I hear the Rockies play-by-play guys on the radio for the first time!
For our fun time last week we went to Target and bought bubbles then came home and had a picnic lunch in the backyard and blew said bubbles.  Then took them to the park and blew them there while playing on the swings and slides.  By the end of the day, all bubbles were gone!  Don't worry, we've gone back to buy more and I bought the 100oz jug for refills.  Bubbles are cheap and tons of fun!!!!  For some reason I don't have pics of that day.  So, you'll have to make do with these pics from our trip to the zoo last week (we have a membership so we go lots!)


Kyra's new haircut.  Isn't it just adorable???  It suits her personality so well!!!!

Climbing in the spider web. (Haircut's cute from the back too, huh?!?)

Playing on the climbing wall/ladder.  Do you see the ornery in those eyes???? 

It was a bit breezy!

Day of Fun-Children's Museum

This week for our fun time we went to the Children's Museum.  The kids had a ball.  Unfortunately, what I thought was the right time of day to go was wrong.  The kids (Kyra in particular) got too hungry and ended up having a meltdown after we'd only been there for an hour.  Next time, we'll go AFTER lunch!

After the museum, I took the kids to Taco Bell (their favorite!) for some tacos.

All was well with the world again, so we stopped at a park on the way home and played for a good hour or so.

I, again, forgot my camera so these were taken with my phone.  Not the best, but not too bad other than no face shots of Kyra.  I'll post a pic of her soon, she got a haircut on Friday and she is even more adorable now (how is that possible???)!
