Divine Intervention

Ali made the ears pictured in Sunday School. They are to remind you to listen to God. She has been taking this VERY seriously. She has worn them for the past 2 days to school. Her teachers are so great...they think it is cute. She is so cool. I love her to pieces.

She even let Sawyer borrow them for about 2 minutes.

This is what we are working with now when we tell her to smile.

Worst Vacation Ever

Ali is on Spring Break this week so I decided to take the kids back to PA for a little so we could visit family. My main reason for going was to go to DC to see my brother. Well we had a great car ride there, no melt downs, great traffic etc. When we got to my in-laws house I had to change the kids clothes cause we did have a battle with a cheeseburger and the cheeseburger won. When I was helping Ali get undress I noticed she seemed warm so I took her temp. Fever. Oh you can't be serious! As the day/night went on she barfed, was miserable and had a temp as high as 104.3 degrees. I slept on the floor beside her bed so I could keep an eye on her. 2 days later she is great. Recovered it seems. In the mean time I have to cancel seeing Mitch. Then we think things are good to go and we head over to my Mom and Dad's house. That night...you guessed it...Sawyer is running a temp. The next day we made the trip back here to we could be sick here and try not to get anyone at home sick. We made it home, nobody barfed in the car and everyone is ok today. We did leave a victum at home though. My Mom managed to get the flu from the kids. Sorry Mom. I loved seeing family, but this goes in the books for the Worst "Vacation" so far.

Why Having A Toddler is Like Being At A Frat Party

10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.

9. There’s always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.

8. It’s best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.

7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone’s going to start banging on the door.

6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.

5. You’ve got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.

4. There’s definitely going to be a fight.

3. You’re not sure whether anything you’re doing is right, you just hope it won’t get you arrested.

2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.

1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.

60 Degree & The Zoo = Awesome Afternoon!

Since yesterday was awesome we met some friends at the zoo for an afternoon of checking out animals and enjoying the amazing 60 degree day. It was wonderful! Above the kids are checking out the snow leopard. I love this zoo cause the animals stay near the front of the glass and it is so easy to get a really great close up look.

Check out that fierce lion in the back taking a nap!

The tiger was so close the to glass that we didn't see it at first.

In the farm animal section of the zoo the kids were petting the goats. On a side note as the kids and I were approaching the entrance to the zoo Sawyer was yelling..."The animals are going to bite my fingers off!" and Ali replied..."No Buddy they are in cages.". Cute!!!

What a great day at the zoo!!! If you are a friend (yeah we have a couple) who is coming to "Camp Wagner" this summer and you have a kid or 4...this is a great Akron attraction for us!!!

Kids say the Greatest Stuff...
