Will and I went to the zoo with Hannah, Sydney and their cousins today. The kids were so well behaved and we had a great time. (I was especially proud of Will, who shared and acted marvellously!) Highlights included riding a camel, feeding the budgies, and riding the carousel four times. We were literally there all day and didn't get home until after 4.

Marc worked hard on the yard all weekend and Will obviously missed hanging out with his Dad. After dinner tonight, Will looked at me and said, "I just want to be with Daddy." So, the two boys snuggled on the couch, ate popcorn and watched a little Hansel and Gretel.

Will and I spent time drawing at Roosevelt today. (Can't risk him drawing on our house now that it's cleaned and painted!)

Marc worked his hiney off in the yard today. Will and I kept ourselves busy; one of our activities was making cookies. We had one happy kiddo!

I found some Ewok cartoons on youtube. See the smile? 'Nuff said.

OMG. My child was a terror this evening - refusing to share anything with Hannah or Sydney and just being rude. Becky and the girls stayed for a while, but they ended up going home without even eating the food they brought over. Man, did I need an ice cold one tonight!

When I picked Will up from school today, he asked, "Are we going to Lakefair?" So we did. This may look like a smile, but you would be mistaken. Will was scared to go on most of the rides (thank goodness we didn't go to Legoland this year) and he actually had to have one of them stopped after only 3o seconds. Fun times.
