I am so glad you fun day out when like you planned. I tried to take my kids to the big library which we never get to go to because it is 30 min away and there is a very small one 5 min away. We each got our cards and then she started throwing a huge fit and wouldn't even look at any books. She ended up in a LOT of trouble for the rest of the fun day. Not a good day like I had planned. BUT! I'm really glad your day went so well. Maybe next time ours will end up going like that too. You give me hope! Cyndis last blog post..

I love hearing what other moms do with their kids. Thanks for the great ideas. And you’re so right about doing more stuff for yourself. It’s better for everyone!

Waw, that sounds like an awesome day!!
The giraffe is SOoOoO pretty! The patterns on her hair (whatever you call this in english), they’re perfect. But what do they do with the giraffe when the snow comes? I’m betting they had to build a very high building just for her, so she can stretch her neck as much as she likes. haha! I love giraffes!
Oh and the fries, with the sauce??? I’m SOoOoO jealous! I love sweet potato fries! And Thai peanut sauce? Yummy!!!!!!
Oh and I don’t know about the ballet you’ve seen (the girl falling and running out? Horrible!) but I love the ballerina’s red toes! Waw!

Great post! Those fries look so good!!! After reading one of your posts I am trying to do Veggie Wed. & Fri’s, to get me off relying on meat so much. That looks like a great place to try. We went to the zoo last month & had a great time too. My next venture – the Science Centre.

Glad you had a great day. I’m not sure I could have sat through bad ballet though.

I haven’t been to the ballet in years; hubby got us tickets to a really avante garde piece and he was bored out of his gourd… but I still liked it. My sis is taking me to Giselle in the Spring and I am pumped!!!

Culture, that’s great – what a mommy needs. We took in the diamonds at the ROM a while back too…but it was so HOT there with all the lights, my kids had zero patience. Did you see Marie Antoinette’s dress? Gorgeous!
Love the zoo shots…

Um, where the frick do you get all this energy Haley???!!!!
