The kids are out for fall break this entire week PLUS next Monday. Do you hear disappointment in my voice? Nah.... :) It is very hard having them all at home when I am so used to them being at school for a portion of the day. So, we took advantage of their time off and went to the Atlanta zoo with our cousins.


Ella boarding the ridiculously short and over-priced train.

The kids LOVED the petting zoo.

They all had a very rushed haircut before zoo day. I hate it but Lincoln (the 3rd to get clipped) really suffered. See? His hair was getting soooo cute and long. I loved it and I totally butchered it. UGH. He doesn't even care. But I think he overheard me telling someone that I messed it up and he innocently/self-consciously asked, "Mom, what does my haircut look like?". I could've responded, "Well, Link, have you seen 'Dumb and Dumber'?".

These are our little baby birds trying to get a worm from their mommies.

Self-proclaimed super model Ella was kind enough to pose with her plebeian cousins. Get it girl!

Weird but somehow cute.

Even though this picture is hard to look b/c of the blurry factor, it's the cutest little facial expression I have ever seen. Oh my gosh....if only I could make a cast of this little face just like this. He's going to be one in less then a month. *Sniffle*. I CANNOT believe it. Everyone says that, but I am FO REAL. It seems like just last month that I had to wake Jason up at 3:15 a.m. to get him to take me to the hospital and then bam!- Quincy was here. I still find myself looking at the 0-3 mo. section in the baby dept. still thinking he might be able to fit into that size.

I just have to brag a little a give a little tip at the same time. So, I am not usually one to dress my kids up in holiday wear. Really, I am not. But if I see something cute and cheap, I will go for it. So every year I go out about 2-3 days after Halloween and shop all the bargains. Last year my best finds were at Marshall's. I found tons of AWESOME decor (and tasteful) and this cute 3 pc. outfit for $5. Can't beat that! Ella is in love with it.

Happy Fall Ya'll!
