Where have I been?

The time has got away from me with all the nice weather and the rainy days figuring out what to do to get a 2 year old's energy out. :) We have been super busy, which is a good thing! We have been to the zoo a couple times. I love having a season pass, and dinosaur adventure day was way fun! We have been spending time with my sister and family and doing all things summery to kick off the season right...oh yes and I can't forget we have been doing lots of digging in the sand! Will even had his first sleepover with his friend Lincoln while we visited friends in the Quad Cities. They had so much fun! Here is an array of random pictures over the last couple of weeks...

I could not get him to look at the camera for anything :)

...and more climbing...I should have got a picture of the tiger. That was his absolute favorite!!

Cute Story: We visited our dear friends in the Quad Cities a week or so ago and we tried putting Will and Lincoln in the same room for a little sleepover. We placed a mattress on the floor for Will and tucked them in and said goodnight. (...after a very creative story told by Thaddy Daddy of course) We heard them talking a little bit and eventually they fell asleep. When we peeked in to check on them later they were both sleeping in Lincolns toddler bed on the same pillow. And they slept like that all night! How cute. I really thought we would have to end up splitting them up, but they proved us wrong. :)

Oh!...and look! I actually won something from the May Giveaway Day! This beautiful headband from Crystal over at Crafty Ave. Thank you Crystal! I love it!

Niabi Zoo

Today we saw elephants and monkeys and birds and wallaby and ducks and fish and goats and sheep and ponies and cattle and emu and reptiles and giraffe and wolves and bobcats and zebra and camels and elk and panthers and leopards and lions and tigers and bears oh my! HA! And we took a ride on the choo-choo train of course. It was a beautiful sun shiny day and we took advantage of the free day at the zoo. Will loved seeing all the animals, but what surprised me was that he actually seemed a little intimidated by seeing them in real life. He made me hold him the whole time! Not the stroller, not Thad, but only by me. I love cuddle times, but oh my carrying him the through the whole zoo gave me quite the arm workout. I'm buff now. :)

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! :)
