The Halman Life: The Best Day

It was a great weekend with the best day being Sunday. Friday night we had a family dinner at Carrabbas where Leo and Isla chowed down on mozzarella sticks, salad, and cheese pizza. Saturday we spent the day repainting Isla's bedroom. Out with the pink, in with bunny gray. Since she and Leo will be bunking up together I chose a neutral color and will brighten it up with sunny yellow curtain sheers...pics to come. Oh, and the nursery is being redecorated too...think owls. Papa made a visit Saturday afternoon which allowed John and I to finish up the last touches. I absolutely love their new room. We won't move Leo into it until the baby is 4 months old, so he'll be 23 months. Hopefully that's not too soon for the crib/bed transition.
Since we were inside all day Saturday we woke up Sunday yearning for a fun activity to do. "Let's go to the zoo!" Daddy suggested. So glad he did because it was such a fun time. This was Leo's first real trip to the zoo and Isla hadn't seen the animals in a long time so it was new to her again as well. They were in awe. Isla loved the ostrich and Leo's favorite was the anteater. :) Isla fed the giraffes celery, they both rode the carousel, they brushed goats, and even rode the train. Isla was so funny asking if every animal we came upon was a mommy or a daddy and where the babies were. She had to know that the family was together and happy because that's when she is happiest. Leo held out his little finger in the point position constantly, smiling and laughing at all the animals we passed by. Of course he was making his animal noises too when the appropriate animal caught his eye. It was a wonderful morning our family shared together and here are the pictures to prove it.
