Maiden Voyage

We took the kids to the Village at Sandhill this afternoon. It was the first public outing for the Phil & Ted's Sport stroller. LOVE IT. It folds nicely, fits into the car well, has a swivel front wheel and just kind of floats along. The kids were happy in it. Jon still felt slightly manly pushing it along. Passers-by stopped to ooooh and aaaahh at it. One guy said, "Look, hon, a double-decker!"

The only downside? Now I have absolutely no excuse not to lose the baby (and... ahem....PRE-baby) weight. Rats.

Fun Birthday for Me and the Fam

I turned the big 3-7 yesterday. We celebrated in the morning by visiting a cool truck expo at the children's museum. Andrew was in HEAVEN.



Later it was off to Sumo, our favorite Japanese steakhouse. YUM.

Boo at the Zoo, Round Two!

We attended our second ever "Boo at the Zoo" last night. It was a lot of fun.There is sometimes a fine line between "costume" and "child abuse," according to Ethan.
Andrew's favorite part, by far, was Frankenstein's Foam Zone. Too bad his parents didn't have the foresight to save this station until the very end; he was soaking wet after this and we had to take off his Buzz costume. :(


Here's the animated version of Buzz enjoying the foam zone:
