Random Sunday night thoughts

I watch a lot of Discovery channel... well, I should say... when I watch TV, it is usually one of three channels: Discovery Channel, Animal Planet or Food Network (I do love Cupcake Wars).
Problem is... when I watch these channels, I feel like I can do anything. Currently, here are some of the things on my list to do:

1- Cook cupcakes everyday so my house always smells like -- well -- cupcakes.

2- Climb to the summit of Everest. {See THIS}

3- Go camping in a rain forest, for a month WITHOUT getting lost.

4- Get an online degree {there are a LOT of online education commercials on these channels}

5- Own every Shark product ever made.

Okay, that was just something random. Now for the 'real' stuff :-)

We went to the St Louis Zoo today.

It was very fun to go back and see how things have changed since we were there last (3 Jul 05). Lots of changes. Rob was disappointed in some things, but overall everything was great!

It's so fulfilling to see the kids' excitement -- and knowledge of certain animals. Though today, the focus was on poop. Yep, I said it. Poop.


Every time we went to a new area, I'd ask the kids what they saw.

"Elephants" or "Monkeys" or "Lemurs" is what I would hear... but one of them would always chime in with ".. and poop" {or in Bones's case "... and pook"}.

Don't know what it was about, but they were fascinated. By the end of the day, every time somebody would say "poop" somebody else would say "well, everything poops". Funny kids I have!
