Weekend Wrapup

The Weiss family had a busy and fun weekend!

Friday night started with some silly fun and snacks. My little ones still love to eat Puffs so usually everynight before bedtime, they have a bowlful. They eat it like it's popcorn, shoving as many as their little hands can grab, in their mouths.

They don't even finish chewing what they have either. They just kee grabbing and shoving it in. You would think I don't feed them or something.
Yesterday we headed to my work BFF, Holly's house for her daughters birthday party. Jackie turned 4 and Olivia turned 2. It was a super cute theme....crayons. She went all out making cute decorations and there were crayons everywhere, thanks in part to my kids. Presley had 2 crayons, one in each hand, at all times! Most of it got on his shirt, if you can see, but some of it also got on Holly's window, a chair, and her couch. Sorry Holly :(. I owe you some cleaner.

Gracie had been looking forward to the party all week. She kept saying, "I can't wait to play with Jackie." Gracie wanted to help Jackie open her gifts and ride her new Princess bike, which, she told me she doesn't have one! I told her to ask for one for her upcoming birthday. The girs played outside together. They wouldn't sit still for a picture but I did manage to take this one.
After the party, we stopped at the newTCBY, it was yummy! And I took a cute picture with my new obsession, matching my girls. Here they are in plaid.

And the master of mess, himself, Presley.

Today we woke up, saw the sun, and decided to head to the zoo. We bundled up in our sweatshirts because it was still cool but at least it was sunny!

This year, the twins are big enough to ride in the wagon. Last year, they were little babies all snapped in their stroller. It was a change. They really enjoyed looking at the animals and Presley just wouldn't stop talking to them.

One of Gracie's favorite things to do is ride the carousel. All morning long, she just couldn't decide which animal to ride. But this time, Presley and Evie got to ride too. They waited patiently in line. Yes, Gracie wore her new orange tutu. Tis the life of a ballerina.

Of course Gracie chose her favorite, the panda bear.

Presley got to ride the gorilla.

And Evie got to ride the lion. Although she had a mini freakout and ended up riding on the bench with Auntie Amy.

After that, we went off in search of animals. We found the giant kangaroo.

And Gracie really wanted to see her other favorite, the giraffes.

Everyone enjoyed the giraffes.

Then we moved on the bear wilderness. The polar bear was enjoying sitting in the sun and water. I can't wait until it's warm enough to sit in the pool!

Then we saw the giraffes again.

We saw zebras too.

And a leopard.

As well as a reindeer.

And a pretty peacock.

We also saw some dolpins.

And the sea lions. They were a big hit because they kept swimming right in front of the window!

Then it was time to head to the children's zoo and pet goats. Presley, the wuss, was scared of course. He wouldn't pet them. He just stood and watched them.

Evie thought they were cool though.

And Gracie couldn't wait to brush them.

After that, we headed back to the carousel. Evie again would not ride on an animal so she rode the bench with Daddy.

Presley rode the lion this time. He waved ar Grandma and Grandpa everytime he rode by them.

Gracie actually rode something new...a dolphin!

And then when it was time to go, Presley threw a fit because he wanted to ride again.

Here is Presley waving and saying "bye-bye" to the goats.

And in gymnastics this weekend, Gracie learned how to do backflips!
