What day is it anyway???














We went to the zoo on Saturday, and as always, I felt the need to take a kazillion pictures of the animals. It's ridiculous how many animal photos I now have -- but for some reason I can't help myself -- they are so darn cute! Rachel couldn't get enough of this baby camel -- and look at those little meerkat faces -- I think I need one as a pet. Ryan and Rachel each brought a notebook and took notes on what we saw. It was rather cute. Rachel is not really reading yet, so I had to tell her how to spell each animal name. It made for a slow-moving trip at the zoo, but my kids can't get enough of the animals, so it was really a lot of fun.

Our weekend also included a trip to Chuck E. Cheese (yes, this was our anniversary "dinner" -- sad, but fun! LOL), swimming, a night of fireworks, a church picnic -- it was jam-packed. And can I just say how ready I am for Fall temps??? The humidity has got to go. I'm ready for sweater weather!!!

On another note -- I have GOT to start scrapping again. It has easily been two months since I did a layout. When I've gone this long without creating, I have the hardest time getting back into it. I have the desire, but when I sit down to work -- I move in slooooow motion -- as if I've forgotten how to use my supplies.

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend ~~~ and just a reminder ~~~ today is TUESDAY, not Monday. (hee hee -- don't you hate that "what day is it anyway???" feeling after a long weekend?)
