Monday funday

Here is Auntie Holly and Tanner. Isn't this the cutest? Here is an example of a head in the 100th percentile. I don't think hoods on a sweater are supposed to fit a person's head this tight. Well, Tanner's hood does. It is so funny.

Early this morning the boys and i went to the grocery store to grab a few snacks for our day at the zoo. I must say how NICE the lady was that checked us out! Usually the person checking me out at the grocery store acts like their job is the last thing on earth they want to be doing. The lady that checked us out today was so cheerful. She had happiness written all over her. I could tell she loved her life, was grateful for her life, loved her job,(even if she didn't love her job she made the best of it) and was happy to help. I loved it. She made my day a little better. How grateful i am for people who radiate gratitude. The world needs more people like that. When trials hit hard, no matter what someone's situation be, it is so great to be around and know people who make the most and best with what they are given... People who play the hand they are dealt, joyfully. I try to follow that example as much as i can...TRY is the word. :)

Lauren and her kids, and Holly and I and the boys, went to the zoo. It was a bit chilly, but it was fun. They have a playground at the zoo and they played on it for awhile and then Gavin comes over to me with soaking wet pants. He peed his pants. Then we noticed that Avery's bum was wet and realized that she slid down the slide after Gavin slid down. So, we left the zoo. :) Today actually ended up being a beautiful day. It was probably 60 degrees and sunny. I love this picture of Gavin and Avery at the zoo. I just wish i could see them a little bit better. The trees are gorgeous.
There was this tree by the gorillas that had huge leaves. Gavin is holding them up for us to see.

Anyway, then this evening we went over to our friends Halloween party. It was tons of fun. All the kids just LOVE running all over the place and screaming. Gavin and his friend Talmage are screamers! When they get excited, watch out! They go back and forth screaming. It is so funny, but a bit difficult to hear when trying to have a conversation.
