5 Days Later

Okay so i haven't written in 5 days. Yuck.
Well actually I have, but it was about the amazing potty time my daughter was having. And then it all went to hell.
So now there is no point in posting about how wonderful it is to not change poopy toddler butts, because it only makes me sad that I am, yet again, changing them. I'll get over it, probably once she stops pooping in her diaper again. And then maybe I'll be able to post that awesome potty post.
Yesterday we randomly decided to go to the zoo. Well actually Hubby decided that the park was too boring and he wanted to do something better. So we packed up the kids and headed out and went to the zoo. It was a lot of fun though. They're doing this awesome play days thing where at different times throughout the day they add enrichment items to different exhibits. Its nifty because you can follow along where they are and always get to see the animals doing things, instead of just sleeping.
The giraffes were the best. On March 22nd a new little baby was born. So adorable. He was just sitting there in all his cuteness. Mama was over at the fence getting fed by a tour group along with another younger female. This younger female wanted nothing to do with the treats the people were passing out, but instead wanted mama's milk. She kept craning her neck under mama and drinking while mama kept trying to kick her. So amusing to watch. That girl know where the good stuff was! Hubs and a good time baby wearing for the first time. Or should I call it toddler wearing seeing as he wore Helene. She had a blast getting Daddy to piggy ride her.

After our tiring day at the zoo, we decided to make it even longer by going over to Hub's mom's house for dinner. We stayed for a few hours while I half slept on the couch. Right before we left we realized we had no food in the house and needed to stop at the store for something to eat. So that took another hour. Exhausted toddlers do not do well in the store, not even slightly. We got home just before bedtime, which Helene was okay with. She got into her jammies and read a book with me before happily going to sleep. She was so ready for bed. Today, I refuse to go anywhere. I need a relaxing day of doing nothing. I can't take another day of crazy like yesterday.
But it was a lot of fun, a worth it. Except for the store part. We could have skipped that one.
