86 Stripes Later...

So what do you do when it is time to paint your daughters' rooms? You ask them how they want to have the rooms painted. You hear that one wants stripes and one wants polk-a-dots and you think...oh this is going to be fun?! So.....after 14 hours (over three days) and 86 stripes, Syd's room is almost done. We have touch-up and the chair rail left to do.

Boy, I just can't wait to start Savannah's room and paint all of the DOTS!

You Belong in the ZOO...

Making "smooshed" pennies!

Beautiful Pandas

On the Skyfari ride!

We went to the zoo this weekend! It was a BEAUTIFUL day and the animals were in a particularly good mood! We have been to the zoo when the animals were mating...(yah even the giant Galapagos turtles were mating on that day), or they were sleeping. On Saturday, the zoo was packed and the animals were prancing! The elephants were thundering after large pieces of logs, the giraffes ran from one end of their area to the other, and the gorillas were extra crazy! The chimps were in strange positions cleaning parts of each other that you really don't want to see them clean! We had a great time and the girls found a lot of places to make their favorite new thing...smashed pennies. I love them because they are cheap souvenirs and that is usually all the girls want when we go places!
