A Day at the Farm...

We headed to Purina Farms with a friend from daycare.  It is yet another one of the many free things to do in STL. This is about 35 miles west of us, but it's a cozy little farm where you are within arms reach of animals or watching the dog show (we didn't get to see that, so we'll be back!).

This little guy was literally TWO HOURS OLD!  He was yappin' his head off, too...his mommy was off eating and I bet the little guy was HUNGRY!

All she needs is a cowgirl hat and some boots!  :)

They had these pigs in a little pen where all the kids could lean over and pet them.

Just in case we were wondering how tall the "Little Giant" is!  :)

Got to pet a bunny that was out with all the people.  SO soft!

She got all excited that it jumped up and started to run away from her!

Kisses for everyone, always!  Even wooden chickens!

She LOVED this for the 10 seconds we were on it!  She's going to be such a little thrill-seeker...

Both of us having fun!

Hugs for our buddy that we came with...

Working hard at coloring, after a nap from a fun day at the farm.

And, later...just moments later, look at the mess that was created in all of 3 seconds....

Speaking of messes...here's a picture from a few months back of what I found in my office...CD Mania.  Isn't amazing how QUICKLY messes can be made by these kiddos and how LONG it takes to clean it up?  They certainly MUST know that while we are cleaning up the one mess, they can find ways to make 3 other messes!  Right?

Can't remember if I included this older picture a while back, but I came across it...I like to think of it as "Overwhelmed By Elmo."  
(I look much more crazed after listening to just ONE Elmo, don't you?)

This was a little while back, but this is "Fun at the Dollar Store!"

OK, back to "now"....

This was the other day, trying to get her ready for school...she got the "shoes" command a little off.  ;)

...and her new backpack.  (I know it's the size of her, but I couldn't find one that was smaller...)

This is the all-too-common, post-nap meltdown, which seems to happen after just about every 2+ hour nap these days, for the first 30 minutes after she wakes up.  :(
This is how I feel many days because I HAVEN'T had a nap!

The Scowl...

My two boys.  Any guesses on who's who?  :)  They usually stump most people and they aren't even brothers!
