Warning!! Never go to the zoo and go grocery shopping on the same day

The high was supposed to be 88..well let me tell ya..it was a HOT 88!
I am really missing the Michigan weather right now..
But we had fun at the zoo:) I wish I had brought my super-duper zoom lense:)
First up..
Hyacinth Macaws

Red-Crown Crane

White-Cheeked Gibbon or Siamang..can't tell which one!

Sheep

Chicken Coop

Lorikeet

Elephant

This poor animal needs to see a gasteronologist!

Right after it layed down on its side..it ripped one..I mean it lasted for a good 30 seconds..it sounded like a thunderstorm was rolling in!

Everyone was laughing..ahhhahahaha:)

Giraffe

more elephants

more monkeys..I mean Trae, Izabelle & Mattie

Izabelle and I went to the grocery store tonight.

I planned meals for 2 weeks..and we bought for 2 weeks.

$252.00 later

I am exhausted!

**************************************************************

Mattie peed in the potty!

I know she has before..little tinkles..while running her to the throne while in midstream.

But today..

she really peed in the potty!

She knows when she has to go..because she will start crying and hold herself before she goes..and she says "Oh no!"

Today I quickly carried her to the potty and made her sit there for a minute or two. She wanted to get up...but I made her sit..I knew that "I gotta go pee cry"

SHE FREAKED when she started going! She stood up..peed in the floor but about a gallon was in her potty. Trae and Izabelle came in the bathroom clapped and cheered and we called daddy to share the good news!

Her potty reward:

A Gummybear
