- It is our first spring break. Yes! No getting ready by a certain time everyday! Wahoo! (Mom is much more excited about Spring Break than Kira is. When I told her she didn't have to go to school for several days she was upset about it- silly girl!)
- We made our first trip to Boise. Brandon needed some new work clothes, so we shopped for work clothes--for Brandon--with 2 toddlers and an infant--all day. Ummm, fun is NOT the word to describe this outing. But Boise does have a nice mall. And I got to use my "30% Friends and Family" coupon at Gap and Banana Republic-- I saved over $200!!! Yes!
- And because of our previous outing, the girls and I went back to Boise today to return some of Brandon's unwanted clothes. This trip was much more fun. We returned the clothes, ate some lunch and then went to the toy store. Much more kid friendly than Dillards. Oh, and the first was going to the zoo! My girls have never been to the zoo, so it was kind of exciting. An added bonus was that they have discounted prices on Thursday. Not too bad. It wasn't an amazing zoo, but it was very kid friendly with slides and other play on things (huh?) and even a carousel. And there were some neat things to see. The girls favorites were the basic giraffe, zebra, monkeys. I loved the more unusual animals like:
A red Panda. They even had a baby one!

A Komodo dragon. ENORMOUS! Have you ever seen one of these things? Crazy!

A porcupine. Wouldn't want to get too close!

A lemur. After seeing Madagascar, how can you resist?

And a huge tortoise that looked like it was 100 years old. Love it!
- Another first- our first paycheck! Wow! That was a long time in coming. Brandon is enjoying his job although it is keeping him VERY busy. And how blessed we have been to make it 4 and a half months with no income. And thank heavens it is over!
- This is the first week it has felt like spring. I LOVE it! The warm weather, the sunshine. It makes me so happy!
- And, last but not least, my little Kendi is crawling. She just figured it out yesterday. It seems to have made her much happier now that she is mobile. She is still pretty slow, so I am loving it. Give it a week or so and I will be whining and complaining. . . until then, enjoying the moment! (I will get a picture tomorrow-- better late than never, right?)

Will loved sitting here by me and seeing your zoo animal pictures. So cool!
How fun! Looks and sounds like you guys have been having some fun! Clothes shopping, zoo, sunshine, baby crawling- so fun!!!
First pay check, that's got to be pretty cool!
Wow, you've really had a lot of firsts this week. Sounds like fun. Boise does have a great mall...been there a few times. :) Looks like a great zoo too. That is something that we want to do with Carter this summer. Oh, and congrats on the first paycheck. That's always a nice thing.
That red panda is tooo cute!! Pay checks are always nice, especially after 4 1/2 months :)
Mia is in afternoon preschool, which has been really nice only because mornings aren't so hectic...I don't know what we will do when we have morning kindergarten, probably enjoy spring break a lot more!
Horray for the paycheck. I still am thrilled that they keep coming (once a month for us)instead of once a semester! How did you ever survive for 4 months without it?????? You must be selling your cute crafts!
How funny - my favorite animal at Hogle Zoo is the red panda. They are sooo adorable. Jackson loved the animal pics so thanks for sharing. However, now he wants to go to the zoo - right now. :) Good thing we have a membership!
