Life's a Zoo

I have really enjoyed my 2plus week vacation from work, and while I was pretty lazy, I did manage to do a few exciting things with the kids.  This weekend we took the kids to the zoo!  I was having too much fun watching the kids enjoy themselves, that I did not take as many pictures as I had wanted to, but here are some I did take!

 Hard to tell in this photo, but a baby is nursing off it's mother!

 Saffron's most favorite animals, the actors from "Happy Feet"!!

 and as the zoo adventures end, this is how the kids looked.....

completely and utterly exhausted.....

The Un-Bed Room

This is going to be a really quick post tonight.....

Look at Saffron's beautiful bedroom set up,

then where she actually decides to sleep each night....

sigh........

 

Super Party Sunday

and so the Birthday celebration continues.....

Saffron got to celebrate her Birthday with her preschool class on Thursday....

her parents at Chucke Cheese's on Friday...

(sorry no pics forgot the camera)

and we continued the celebration into today, and joining us were both sets of Grandparents, and an extra special guest her Great Grandma Viola.  By the time all the party guests left, this is what my little 4yr old looked like.

Not sure who's more tired, her or her new baby doll.....

Let's go back in time, and fill in a few blanks...

Oh, did I forget to mention that my wonderful husband of mine surprised Saffron with a new bike??  Something she was not expecting, and was super excited to open it up!

 

and that's how Friday ended.....

and that brings us up to today....

the actual events that made my daughter soooooooooooo sleepy.....

Nothing like a little wrestling match to get the party started..

A little fresh air before it's present time.

By this time, you can tell Saffrons' about had it opening up presents...

Saffron ran a mini triathlon around the yard,

which included a bike ride, and a water table....

then the princess passed out on the couch....

I can't wait till next years party, 

when she turns 5!
