Oh Gumballs! and Zoo

Ryan and I did a Lord of the Rings puzzle that Jonathan and Ashley gave us. Cody decided to play baseball this week. He threw up the balls and hit them himself. He wasn't very good at it, but he was really cute.
Kathleen and Brandon, meanwhile, took turns jumping on the trampoline.
Cody is learning how to use the computer. He is never as still and quiet as when he is trying to make the computer work how he wants.

We went to the zoo yesterday. It was a lot of fun bundling up for the cold and spending some time outside with the animals. I am thinking I could have moved in. My kids are a bunch of monkeys.






Funny story: We were there at dinner time for the animals. It was really fun. The lemurs are fed mostly a variety of fruits and vegetables. The very first thing they do is pick out the broccoli and throw it on the ground. Ryan thinks this is a sign of intelligence.
Brandon hatched:
Lately I have been really into making random fruit salads. I know, it is a weird winter thing. But we have really been enjoying it. This week, Brandon begged for a fresh pineapple. So I gave in. Kathleen was really excited about helping to make the salad this time. And I think it was one of our best ones. That fresh pineapple was to die for.
Kathleen loves reading to her brothers. But today, she took on a teacher/student approach, making sure Cody knew what was in each picture. It was pretty cute.

If you are wondering why I titled this post with "Oh Gumballs!" it is because that is Kathleen's new favorite phrase. It is hilarious. She even uses it under her breath like it is a second nature habit she picked up from mom and dad.
