The zoo!

We decided to take advantage of our FONZ (Friends of the National Zoo) membership and get outside on a semi-nice day... The best benes of the membership are free parking and free animal cookies for the kiddoes :) (those zoo people are pretty smart handing out free cookies right when you get there!)

The kids enjoyed walking on the elephant tracks on the way to see the elephants:

But mom liked getting pretty close to the elephants - we got there right at feeding time :)

And Sydney liked the pandas!

Nice weather :)

Took advantage of the beautiful weather today to get OUTSIDE for some fun in the back yard - mainly sliding face first down the slide :)

My funny valentines....

Happy Birthday Jane!

A little late! Sorry :(

Finally some snow!

Sydney has been desperate for some snow this year. She finally got her wish - and could not get outside fast enough this morning :)

Want to make your teeth hurt??

Let a 2 and 3 year old decorate (and eat) cupcakes :)

Notable Quotable...

Daniel: "I burped"

Mom: "what do you say?"

Daniel: "thank you!"

In his defense, "thank you" is usually what we want him to say when we ask him that :)
