Yesterday was so much better, I couldn't even blog about it!

Not one second of TV yesterday made for a much better day (a little sleep helps, too!).   The kids had a great time at story time and we did some extra work because I had a big surprise for them today.  We got up and out of the house at 7:50 this morning!!  I took everyone with me for my 30 week appointment (technically I'm still 29 weeks, but Baxter is definitely measuring a 30!!).  They were really well behaved and Barbara even let them put in an order for the kind of stickers they'd like to have next time so the office girls could order them!  We left there around 9:30 and got in the car with a snack to go to the zoo!!!  It was super cold today but we had a blast looking at all of the animals Rachel's been studying.  It's cool that now she know lions live in Africa and lemurs live in Tropical Rain Forests in Africa and South America.  We ran and ran and learned lessons about avoiding school groups because they're wild and rarely use manners!  Rachel also wanted to know if we could have T-shirts made that say "Ingram School" for when we go on field trips (very observant, that girl!).  We had an eventful afternoon of taking everyone to violin practice...no one would stay with Ms. Lisa at GRACE girls because the girls were being loud and obnoxious.  Ms. Luci was a good sport and even though I didn't get to pay much attention at violin, we made it through!!   We swung by to see Papa real fast and then went to get Baba's mail.  I remembered on the way that we had free Kidz Meal coupons for Zaxby's (everyone should join their Kidz club, it rocks to get free meals for Halloween, Back to School, and their birthdays!!).  Dinner was easy!  Then we played and relaxed a little before having an early bedtime due to the exhaustion!!  It's 7:30 and I haven't heard a peep!  Maybe we should go to the zoo more often :)
