Yay! More sunshine!

So I am on a roll with pictures and blogging this week. It was a beautiful day again today and we took advantage of it. We spent the afternoon at the zoo with Melissa and the kids. I tell you, our zoo pass is one of the best $50 we spend each year. We spend many afternoons there and Mylie just loves it. It was Blake's first trip, but of course, he just snoozed the whole time.

Lots of pictures to share today. Look how beautiful these flowers are! I love them and want a tree like this at my house. Court, what kind is it?

So I tell Mylie to get close to the tree so I can take her picture. Atta girl, no little rope fence is going to stop her!

But alas, a 3 1/2 year old can only take getting her picture taken so many times before she gets some attitude. Look at that! Ooooh the teen years should be fun.
There we go with a cheesy smile!
The weather is just crazy here. It was in the mid-70s today and is supposed to be 45 tomorrow. Ugh. I am so ready for real spring to be here. I have this fear that we will skip spring altogether and go from 45 to 105.

Earlier in the day the kids and I made a trip to Costco. Two stories ... the funny one first. Mylie is in the cart and she is reading the list to me. No, she can't read, but our Costco list is nearly the same everytime, so she can just recite it pretty much verbatim. So we are walking along and there is an aisle that sometimes has scrapbook stuff on it. So I say, "Mylie, lets go look at the scrapbook stuff." To which Mylie responds, "No Mom, its not on the list!" (Wonder if she's been talking to Daddy, lol!) The not so funny story, I bought a 10 lb bag of sugar and put it in the back of the car. When we got home, 1 lb of sugar was still in the bag and 9 lbs of sugar was all over the back of my car. Ugh! What a mess. I'm not sure if the bag had a hole or if something poked it. Maybe it was meant to be to help out my diet. If I don't have sugar, I really can't make chocolate chip cookies. Hmmm, I'll have to think of it that way. LOL!
