Today was so fun! I kept thinking, "thank you, God" all day!
Thank you, God for:
Roman waking up sans "leak" since he was in undies all night!
Homemade yogurt spilled all over Brooklyn just before heading out the door! (store bought would have been so expensive!)
Roman's 20 million questions about cheetahs and other animals on the way to the zoo. His mind is AMAZING!
Free zoo day passes from a playgroup mommy!
My children's enthusiasm about animals and plants and airplanes (the zoo is near an international airport)
My children's obedience to stay by my side in the street ( we didn't bring a stroller!)
Roman running ahead of me on the path just so he could walk next to Brooklyn and "keep her safe"
No meltdowns, although we came close to one with Brooklyn, but it was thwarted by the enticement of sitting in a tractor and milking a pretend cow. Little things...
Brooklyn and Roman not getting annoyed with the 4 potty breaks we took in the 5 hours we were there! And Brooklyn not crying at the deafening sound of the hand driers in the last bathroom!
Brooklyn telling me she had to go potty. Even though she's potty trained, accidents still happen when she is in serious play mode.
Scrounging up enough $ to buy a kettle corn which served as reward for staying by me and not running off without permission.
An older child, Roman, who set a good example for his sister that when mama says "one more turn on the slide" it means only one more turn on the slide despite a cute pouty lip from sister!
Children that understand not to ask for things in the gift shop because 1. we don't need it and 2. We don't have the $ to buy it! (The exit is conveniently located inside the gift shop!!)
Coming home to a neighbor's ginormous tree still in our driveway from yesterday's wind storm. It cracked and fell not 5 mins before chad got home! (earlier that day I cleaned out the garage so that I could park in it.).
Some random person, whom we never saw, that cut down the tree and moved it off our driveway after we got back from the zoo. (our neighbor thought we did it and we thought the neighbor did it)
Homemade Mac and cheese that took 20 mins to make...so yummy!
My Tummy not feeling well so it meant more snuggle time with Roman in our bed reading books about leopards, cheetahs, bald eagles, silly hippos and a little boy who plays soccer. (we all fell asleep together too!).
Here's to praying tomorrow I can thank God for more blessings!
