Bed Head? Rat's Nest? What IS that?

Kayley woke up with THIS on the back of her head this morning. Isn't that just a HUGE tangle?

It seriously stuck out off the back of her head by several inches. Incredible.
I need to invest in some detangler.

A really big girl in the Big Girl bed...

Who is that in Kayley's Big Girl bed?

Sometimes when Kayley is waking up in the morning or from her nap, I like to climb in her bed and hide under the covers with her. It makes her giggle like crazy! She tells me, "Too big Mommy! Too big for Kayley's bed!"
Caught in the Act! Good thing that is a sturdy bed. =)

Linger Longer

Today we stayed after Church for the Linger Longer. I actually don't enjoy them because this is what the kids do the entire time. They just run around screaming and pushing. If nobody goes home bleeding or with a big knot on their head I guess it was considered a successful ward activity. Ditto on the ward parties... The kids do the same thing. Not my favorite activities.

Humanitarian Service Project...

Today we had the opportunity to work at the Mesa Cannery doing a humanitarian service project. We bagged lots and lots of noodles! It was a fun time and will feed a lot of people during these tough economic times.

Taking a break between sessions.

Part of our group!

Farm, Food & Play!

Today we went to the Farm, Food & Play preschool series offered at the Zoo. We learned about Citrus. There were a lot of various activities for the kids to do. Here Kayley is making a sachet of citrus peel, rosemary, cloves, and cinnamon. It smells awesome!

Here is the finished product!

Playing on the "farm."

Making citrus soap with Miss Hannah....

A "grab bag."

Juicing an orange...

We played on the playground for about 10 minutes while other groups were finishing their activities. I am talking to Kayley through this tube... It was pretty funny.

Slide!

Riding the cow...

Driving the tractor...

Driving a REAL tractor...

Snack time! We got to try different kinds of citrus fruits with honey.
Kayley is trying grapefruit, she did NOT like it...

The kids made these odd oranges on a stick and we carried them to the monkeys for a snack/toy.

Here is a little monkey enjoying Kayley's treat.

We also stopped to look at the Wallaby's.

And to check out these huge statues. In fact, I had never been to this little part of the zoo before...I didn't even know it was there? It was called the "African Watering Hole" and had a lot of animal statues.

Is that Aslan? No, it is just a lion.

Of course, no zoo day would be complete without a turn on the carousel. Today Kayley chose to ride the dragon! Look at that thing! It is huge!

A self-portrait.... Somehow I didn't get in this photo.

Another self-portrait... I was not in my best self-portrait taking element today for some reason. I also forgot to let Kayley take my picture while we were out... I guess I'll have to let her take 2 next time... oops.
