Em wants to make pizza.

We cut up toppings.

Made dough.

Made 3 personal pizzas.

This one is a heart pizza.

Chowed down.

Remember the purple ball of torment?

Katie stuck this gum up her nose 

and flashes of the purple ball of torment was all I could think about.

Thankfully the gum is no longer lodged in Katie's nostril.

My girls, the fruit bats.

I was inspired by my friend Grace,

to keep fruit and veggies out.

She even has them in a cute display.

So my fruit bats, often grab an apple, avocado, banana or pear.

As they go on adventures, they bag the fruit and take it with them.

Awesome.

 Except they don't always eat it and when I find it 5 days later,

well, it's more like pruno than a snack on the go.

Small cost for kids who love healthy snacks.

Moms nest before babies 

and I nest before the hubby comes home.

It's less than 41 days now.

The garden is producing!

Argula, lettuce and cilantro galore.

Rosemary, onions and garlic too.

We have turtles and a jellyfish!

 This little family of 4 is quite lively.

 Jelly fish!

If you saw it in person, 

it would be super cool.

I can't seem to take a good picture of it.

It's a another Aunt Rachel craft that I love to show off.

 No pass.

Unless you bring the proper  bribe.

 See the bats.

Huge.

Seriously, they must be 3 lbs each.

Who doesn't love a bronze rhino?

Especially when it is huge.

Brushing the goats.

Such pushy goats.  Practically steal the food from your hand.

So beautiful to spend the day searching for animals in a place like this.

One of the animals.

So many cool animals but we love to see the same ones every time.

Not sure what she was thinking.

 Baby pigs! 

So cute as they trot around after mama.

We are batty for daddy!

I hate when the day starts like this

With in 5 minutes 

one well meaning child tried to help mommy by pulling out the eggs.

2 dozen broken eggs later.

The dog yelped.

I ran to the front door.

Another well meaning child closed the door behind the dog...

on Bella's tail.

Thankfully it's not broken.

I have been busy preparing to share a story at MOPS.

I shared my story this morning.

You don't get nicer than a room full of MOPS moms.

It was fun.

I'm glad it is over and I didn't make a fool of myself.

Back to blogging.

A child by any other name...

will still be yelled at.

 

Em likes to think of names she will call her children.

Recently she said,

"Mom, I like the name Teagan.

Hi Teagan.

Come here Teagan.

Teagan, you are in trouble!"

I died laughing. 

I never thought how the baby's name would sound

while I yell in anger.
