A little bit of randomness...

Well I haven't really been blogging recently. I've been really struggling with some things and so every time I sit down to blog it quickly turns into a pity party and I just don't want to go there. So there have been a few posts I've published and quickly taken down. One of these days I'm going to clear my head and write an update on life.

In an attempt to try to pull myself out of my rut yesterday we took the munchkins to the zoo. We haven't been there in close to a year now and they absolutely LOVED it. I finally convinced Jacob to test my theory that getting there as the zoo opens is the best time to go. And what do you know? I was right! It was cooler than usual, the animals were all up and moving around (it was feeding time), and there was hardly anyone else there that early (which was 9 am, I hardly consider that early but apparently it's early Hawaii time because there's hardly anything open or anyone around that time of morning).

It's hard to get photos of everyone looking at the same time- but this is close. Although Jack refused to look at me, at least he has a pleasant look on his face :)

They couldn't get enough of this place. I definitely think we're going to invest in a year pass so we can go more often!

After we got home the boys went down for a nap and I ran to the craft store to take advantage of a 20% off sale. We have SO many decorations for other holidays but absolutely nothing for Easter. I picked up some stuff and made an Easter wreath for our door.

Jacob thinks it's pretty cheesy but I dig it. Not bad for my first attempt at a wreath if I do say myself!

Unfortunately the day ended up just disastrous. I was trying to make myself a cup of tea before we left for church and was trying to pour out some of the water because I filled the cup too full and somehow (I honestly don't know what happened- I was arguing with the boys, cooking dinner, trying to get my shoes on, and make tea at the same time) I poured boiling water over almost my entire left hand. I toughed it out and went to church anyway but I spent most of the service thinking about how badly my hand hurt. Then we got home and as I tried to go to sleep I got insanely sick. Boo for the stomach flu. So I've quarantined myself to my room and Jacob's taken the boys to church. I'm hoping to try to catch up on some of the sleep I missed last night while the house is nice and quiet this morning.
