Trip to the zoo

Today we had a field trip with some other homeschooling moms from church to the zoo. At breakfast I tried to lay down the law with my boys. You see, the are the only boys at church between the ages of 4-8. Everyone else has girls. You've seen the children's choir videos. They are the only guys. Poor guys, and you all know how much they love girls. Well, this morning I said..."Guys, you just have to face it, you're the only guys at church right now. If there were other boys your ages there, I would make field trips with their moms too, but there's not so get over it. Our field trips are gonna be with girls only right now." Well, three out of four boys listened quite well, and got along remarkably well with all the girls. Shoot, I'm still shocked. And the one boy who didn't listen definitely throw a fit or anything about having to go, so he got brownie points too.

The insect world which was probably the kids' favorite place to bee....haha get it?..."bee" (Eric is soooo rubbing off on me.)

Proof that my boys might be possibly getting over the whole not liking girls thing

More proof (Sorry the above two pictures are blurry. I was pretty much trying to chase them all around without being too obvious because I didn't want make a big deal out of them hanging with the girls.)
Makenna not to impressed with sharing her brother with another girl

This was the coolest monkey ever. He put on a show for us swinging form the branches, posing for the camera, peeing on the glass, and then walking up to Makenna and standing right in front of her with his hands on the glass just like her. (Of course, I missed the last part, but I got a picture of him right when he stepped away. Oh, and I started to video him swinging, but like I said...he put on a show and I got him peeing on the window instead. Lovely!)

and a little clip from the peeing monkey. Of course, Jakeb thought it was downright hilarious!
