today is crazy hair day at school

horse-play on a saturday night

our saturday night was pretty uneventful, which was perfectly fine by me.  last week was a pretty busy week for us at our house, so a nice quiet night at home was just what we needed.

first we started with horsey-back rides.  it started with nathan and i as the horses and then amelia took a turn with clara. 

then we graduated to ring around the rosie (clara's choice).  we basically had to force jared to participate.  i snuck this photo while he wasn't paying attention.

i didn't get as lucky on this shot! :)

after snapping a few pictures, even nathan and i joined in.

mother son night 2013

this past friday, i went to mother son night at my boys' school.  we had a great time!

 

if i could not look like a goon in all of my self-shots that would be awesome!

anyway, first up for display was a carpet python:

then we got to gander at a couple of red-footed desert turtles

next up was a nile monitor lizard

and an american alligator (it was just a little guy)

 then for our viewing pleasure, a soledad tortoise

on to the green anaconda

and finally a huge reticulated pyton

after the presentation, the boys were able to pet the turtles, the tortoise and the python.

we had a great time and i always really enjoy these nights with my boys.
