Minnesota Zoo

We love going to the Zoo. In fact we love it so much that we bought a membership last July and it expires at the end of this month. We have used it so much over the last year and love the savings we get from having a membership.

 

They love to see the butterfly garden.

The special part of this trip were the Giraffes. The kids got to feed them, well all of the kids except Samantha she was afraid to feed them.

Aren't they so cute?

 



 

Alexis went first and fed the giraffes.

 

Now Olivia, she was a little unsure.

Then Teddy.

 

And finally Bridgette.

 

One of the kids favorite things to do is to go to the farm at the zoo. It is a petting farm and the kids LOVE feeding and petting the animals.

 

 

Well we had a fun filled day and Bridgette's God Parents came with, We love you Helen and Jon!!

 

Thanks for visiting!

New Temporary Big Girls Bedroom!!

Samantha, Bridgette and Teddy are getting too big to continue sharing a room. So with the basement remodel going on, it inspired me to turn our old dinning room into a new bedroom for Alexis and Olivia. It will only be temporary until phase 2 of our remodel is done. We decided to just use leftover paint from their current room as our paint colors.

 

Everyone helped paint!!

 

This old closet dresser fits perfect into an area that would have had a built in curio cabinet.

Some leftover purple paint works well.

 

What would have been a built in hutch for the dinning room makes a great closet space. I started by putting some dressers in there.

 

Also decided to paint some shelves I had in that space that was more recently a playroom. Some more left over purple paint worked great!

They fit nice on either side of the new closet area.

The girls Bed fit nicely into this small room.

 



 

Here is the closet space. I think it turned out nice.

 

 

 

Finishing touch, some pink curtains I found on clearance at Target!

 

 

 

Thanks for checking in on us!!
