We are spring breaking!

Edited to add pictures - I noticed that it's sometimes less the actual animals than the many representations of animals that catch the kids' attention at the zoo. So we have the cool little plastic animals made at the vending machines; we climb on every possible statue; we practice howling like the wolves and romping in the wolf den exhibit; we ride the animal-shaped figures on the carousel, and we somewhat incidentally look at all the actual, living animals.






It is Day Three of the kids' Official Spring Break (none of that Easter stuff - this is the real deal.) So far, this has meant one day where Mom worked on Conference Paper A and then took the kids to Dad's office while she had a meeting [which meeting went well, fwiw], and one day where we took a trip to Target, swung by Jo-Ann Fabric, and then back home so Mom and a friend could work on Conference Paper B all afternoon. Today will hopefully be our Zoo Day, but Peter has adopted the frat boy sleeping style [assumption on my part, since I have zero personal or emperical knowledge of this phenomenon] of staying up really really late and then sleeping in. Yesterday he dodged his nap and was *still* awake past 10:30. So we haven't made an official decision about the zoo, although Grace is willing and the weather looks like it might cooperate (sunny and 31, but allegededly suppposed to get warmer as the day progresses.)

So presuming we go - pictures later!
