Como Zoo

5.12.12

We love Como Zoo.  Arnold is now old enough to enjoy zoo outings and his favorite animal was the duck.  Emma Claire's was, naturally, the pink Flamingos.

Zapp's

The best potato chips ever.  They are made in Louisiana and we can't get them here in Minnesota, so every so often I will order a box full.  Arnold's favorite flavor is Voodoo.  He can't get enough...


Arnold & Makeup

Arnold loves to get into my makeup when I am not looking.  He thinks everything in the basket is lipstick.  Sometimes he gets lucky and gets it right.  On this day, however, he proudly walked down the hall, open mascara in one hand and black lips.  (FYI - waterproof mascara is NOT easy to remove when applied to the lips)

Party at Choo Choo Bob's


Emma Claire's friend, Tyler, had a 4th birthday party at Choo Choo Bob's Train Store in St. Paul.  This was our first visit there and will not be our last.  Arnold went along for the ride and he especially enjoyed the trains, especially the moving one in the front of the store.

Princess Belle's Tea Party

Emma Claire and Addie attended "Princess Belle's Tea Party" at Crystal Community Center last Saturday.  Grandma Mary (Addie's grandmother) and I took the girls. 

"Princess Belle" led the group of little princesses in songs, games and a story.  Following, we had "tea", practicing our best princess manners.  The girls each decorated a teacup with stickers, snacked on cookies and sipped tea (in the form of apple juice).
