A trip to the Zoo

Today we went to the Zoo- it was gorgeous! We didn't know it was also Spring Break week, so it was jam-packed, but we had a lot of fun anyway. :) Mamu was able to go with us, and it was a blast.

Natalya entertained us with a song on the way to get something to eat after the zoo. It was all about corn growing. It lasted about a minute or so and had me rolling. I asked her, "Where'd you hear that song honey?" thinking she'd maybe seen it on PBS or something, and she said "In my head".

Walgreens
(here there was drama. I went to the Wags I don't love b.c the one I like was out of Reach products. my son was screaming, the manager didn't want to take my rr's because the ink was faded - printed that way- i forgot to use the es coupons. sheesh. I am going back tomorrow to the Wags I like and straighten it all out, so this is what I will have spent after I get it all straightened out. I will still be out about $1.07 because the cashier entered my free item coupon wrong and it can't be fixed because the total was so little after coupons that it will be in the negative and can't be refunded. grrr.)
