Presents for me!

Today in the car, Drew and I saw a FedEx truck. This is how the conversation went...

Drew: What's in that truck?
Me: That truck carries packages to bring to people. Packages are like presents.
D: Presents for me?
M: Sometimes presents for you.
D: I like presents.
M: Me too.
D: Mama, your presents are shoes.
M: What kind of shoes?
D: Um, brown ones and black ones.

Zoo - again!

So the zoo turns out to be the most fun thing EVER. Last time we were there it was cold enough that the carousel was closed. So I promised Drew that when it was springtime, we would go to the zoo again and he could ride the carousel. Then we talked about the signs of spring so that we would know when to go back. This should stop surprising me but - this kid has a really great memory. The snow melted, the pond completely de-iced and it got warmer. He said something like "Mamma, snow and ice gone - go back zoo - ride merry go round. I ride snake and you ride camel. We go now, mamma."

Back to the zoo we went. We met our friends the Petersons. Too bad no cool pictures of them. Zoey wore her pink princess dress for the occasion.

Thank the gods that the carousel was open or I would have been in the dog house. This is not the greatest picture, but it is at least the carousel. Oh, and he didn't ride the snake since there is no snake. He rode the otter.

Easter

Soooo late posting these Easter photos. We started out with an egg and present hunt in the morning. Then, we went to Oshkosh to see Aunt Kate and Uncle Dread and most importantly - Emma. Grandma and Da met us there. We ate like kings and then drove home in the snow. Why does winter torment me so?
