APPARENTLY this is what chineese people look like... and that is a bib on Maria's head. I like them.

I'm aware this is upside down, stand on your head. We're making your life more interesting.

Laura and I took the kids to the zoo, it was so fun!! We had peacocks and ducks walking right up to us and even eating out of our hands! My favorite part was the monkeys! Did you know there is an animal called a tree kangaroo? It's like a kangaroo/monkey looking thing that was sleeping in a tree when we saw it! It was a bit chilly but we had a blast.

I just love eskimo kisses!!!! I taught Ria how to do them and also butterfly kisses ( eyelashes) we also made up flower kisses and mama kisses and a whole bunch of other ones it was really cute :)

Spring is here! I love being able to go outside and play! We don't even have to wear boots anymore! The weather here has been so nice, spring was on time :) That's the first time that has ever happened to me :)

oh my GOSH! i just caught a WILD frog... i mean its from the wild, its not actually wild and crazy... it kinda just sat there like ... well crap there's a 32 oz subway cup on top of me with a 100 something pound girl screetching like im gross or something... life sucks. I named him Eyore ;) He was lollygagging across my driveway when i pulled up tonight haha he's almost as bis as the 32 oz lid! Mom i know you win with the size of your frog but still! i've never seen a live frog bigger than my thumb before... AND I JUST CAUGHT ONE!!! Dan thinks i should have caught it with my hands, HA WHATEVER!!!!! EIKCKCKC!!! YUCK! But SO cool :)

sooo... if you're a MAN, and you're man enough to ask a girl on a date.. You should at least have the resources to actually TAKE her on said date! This guy ( he's a very nice guy) asked me out but it turned out that he was an hour away with no car... haha i found this out at about 6 o'clock when we were supposed to hang out at 7 o'clock. uh ya do you see the problem??? i am NOT your mother/cheauffer (i know that's not spelled right) im your DATE! your GIRL date, i dont do the whole drive an hour- pick you up- take you out- drive myself home thing. I am totally into the whole MEET ME HALFWAY thing. i feel kinda powerful since i told him i couldn't drive out that far, i didn't even make up an excuse! which by the way im super pro at doing but it always makes me feel guilty... DEAR PEOPLE: TODAY I FEEL NO REMORSE! bahaha i like this :)
Oh, by the way I made a deal with myself that i wouldn't steady date and guy for an entire year (starting Jan. 26) so if i start dating... ummmmmm send me some sort of digital slap in the face please!!!!! No kissing either haha NONE! zero, nada, NONE! this year is all mine :) not some stupid guys haha im not sharin.
