Last of March

Third day in a row I've had the best of intentions to post on here. Of course you already know how that went.

Wednesday we went to the zoo with all of the kids, we checked out the Dino exhibit. Kara hid behind my legs for most of it. Apparently the giant T-Rex growling with it's large teeth was a bit frightening (The V-Raptors taking down some other herbivore were not exactly fear relieving either)

Abby just wanted to go see the deer (I know... we go to the zoo to see deer) It was still a lot of fun with possibly only 10 other people in the entire place we had a free run. And we found out our membership ends in May not March like we originally thought. (perfect!) Christopher traveled in my Moby wrap. Have I mentioned yet how much I love this thing. I'll try to get a photo of him riding around in it but here is the gist of what it is: A large piece of fabric that you wrap in a certain way to hold babies.

 A) He can snuggle up close, feels secure and will often sleep when I'm shopping because he feels like he's being held.
B)I can slip him in and out with no trouble
C) The fabric packs up quickly in the diaper bag for troubling... Or I can just wear it around!

Yesterday Abby had Preschool again and I took her along with Christopher. We had an elaborate conversation about Easter, Jesus dying on the cross and his coming back to life again. It was pretty amazing listening to her talk about it... especially since she is 3.... and when there are inserts like "Mom fairies don't die" and "Swiper doesn't like heaven because he is naughty." I was really impressed with how much she understood... and was glad at the same time that fairies and Swiper made it in because after all... she is still 3.

The weather has been beautiful and we have been spending a lot of time on walks, going to the parks or just hanging around out in our backyard. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the temps to go back to a more normal 50 degrees (wait it's the end of March, why are we complaining!) lol

Potty training is progressing, we are still having a lot of accidents but they seem to be understanding the concept more and more. I'm hoping that maybe by Easter we will be a little more consistent? Time will tell! Once K&K have it down I believe Chris will be transitioning into cloth diapers... after potty training twins cloth diapering honestly doesn't seem that bad. :o)

I think the thing they love the most (outside of sitting on the potty 50 times a day- their choice not mine) is that they get to wear dresses all day and no pants... that and their Dora panties :o)
