Tail, Zoo, Show and Tell, Rain

Hi!!  Life is having its way with me right now.  School and kids are keeping me very busy!!  I used to have some alone time before or after school and now with Jillian with me that equals NO ALONE TIME!!! 

When I try and describe the difficulty of dealing with Hadleigh's hair, people don't quite get it.  The girl has NO hair on top and this strand of curl in the back.  It is sooooo ridiculous.  This is how much longer the curly tail is compared to the rest of her hair.... (I apologize for the blurriness but it is the best I got).  I really can't do much with what she is giving me??  Not sure if I should cut it or leave it??


We did go to the zoo last Saturday with my parents, Summer, KK and Roy.  Gavin and Bill met us after Gavin's soccer game.


The HIGHLIGHT was the hippos.  Look at how massive they are.  We have NEVER seen them out of the water.  So cool!!!!


Jillian and her favorite toad. 


Rocco and the croc!!!


The croc was not happy about having its picture taken. 


The zoo had several nice booths/exhibits set up and the kids got to have a lot of hands-on demonstrations with animal skins, tusks, bones, etc.


This is what Rocco wanted to take to show and tell - his scissor collection.


This is what we comprised on - his new USA lanyard with his new photo ID (made by Grammy) and his favorite book, Moo Baa La La La.  Rocco is really obsessed with all things teacher.  He wears a lanyard with photo ID because I wear one.  He carries around a notebook because Jillian has a notebook.  He has all of his supplies in his zipper pouch.  He has a clipboard that he walks around with and he lists the "bad" kids in timeout and the "good" kids who get treats.  This is ALL he does everyday all day. 


This is the kids on Sunday before church.  Can I just say how much I love Hanna Andersson clothes???  QUALITY!!!!  I got these beautiful clothes on clearance last winter and I LOVE them!!!!  If you want clothes that are well-made, soft and wash beautfully, this is your store.  (They also provide me with matching sibling gear which I appreciate!!  Ha!!)


Can I just tell you how awesome my gardens are doing right now??  A couple of weeks ago we had this awesome rain and everything looks sooooooo wonderful!!! 
This bush has never bloomed and now with a little yummy rain, it is beautiful!!!


My lantana just looks so vibrant!!! 


There is a lot of useless information in this post for you!!!!
