Post-Valentine's Day wrap up.

We celebrated Valentine's Day in style with our homeschool group. They takes in more candy at our event than they did at Halloween.

We've been having fun painting a lot. So much so that I need to go get more paint. I'm starting to make mosaic pieces. It's a lot of fun. And the kids can make them too.

Nicholas and I started karate. Tae Kwon Do actually. It's going well. I'm sore on a regular basis. I guess that is good.

Jon just had 5 days off so we put together the trampoline. Now my kids jump all morning. Nicholas wants to take the hose onto it and jump in water. I'm not so sure about that.

Now if only I'd get to work planting.

Oakland Zoo

We went to the Oakland Zoo this weekend with our friends Annie and Chris and their kids. it was a blast.

They have a great kids area with lots of animals and play areas. Our kids loved that. The giraffes were cool. The elephants were great. The lions and tigers were just hiding and relaxing.

The best part of the whole day was when the giraffe peed and the other giraffe tried to drink it. Nicholas laughed so hard. And then the face the giraffe made was so neat. It was hilarious.

It was a good time with the friends. It was hilly, so pushing the stroller with 2 kids was not fun. We got lunch there and it wasn't too outrageous. A goo time was had by all.
