Phoenix Zoo

Many of you know that I am not much of a "zoo mom" or a "park mom," to say the least! But my baby boy Ty has me wrapped around his little finger, and took Matt and me to the zoo today. The three of us had an amazing time:

Petting Sea Rays

Pretending to drive a real tractor

And our favorite thing, riding a camel!

Peace and Quiet

As I was getting ready for the day this morning, I couldn't help but enjoy the peace and quiet around the house. Ty's favorite thing to do in the morning before preschool is watch a TV station called Noggins. Almost always, he watches his favorite shows while I am making myself presentable.

Several times, I had the impression to check on him, but I didn't want to spoil my relaxing moment. When I finally checked on him, I was disappointed to find this:

He was watching Noggins, alright!

How in the heck do I get food coloring off of his skin???

Something To Be Happy About

I can't believe that I would ever see gas as cheap as $1.99 per gallon ever again. I really wonder how much more gas prices will decrease...but this is great news! Now if we could just get other national affairs in order, we would be set! I admire President Bush for having the courage to continue to the end, to fulfil his presidential obligation, having to face opposition everyday because I know it would be very challenging. President Bush, because so many people like to blame you for the turmoil of this country, I will pay you all my respects for the gas prices.
