So, I have a confession to make. I'm that girl who - if you're toilet paper isn't coming over the top, I take it off and put it back on the "right way"...
RIGHT WAY
WRONG WAY!
...that Megan can have a "tea cup" full of water in the bath tub and not spill a drop, but if I were to give her that in the house it would be all over the place? Today in the bath, she poured clean water out of the spout into a small purple "tea cup". The cup was full to the top. She somehow managed to drink every single drop without spilling anything.
So, imagine I give her the same cup with the same amount of liquid in it outside of the bath tub...do you know what happens? I spend 15 minutes cleaning up spilled liquid. I just don't understand!!!
Meg and I had an amazing day today. Jarrad went out of town, so Meg and I decided that we were going to have a fun "girls day". So, we started out with breakfast at McDonald's....then, it was off to the Ft. Worth Zoo. It was the most beautiful day, perfect for an afternoon at the zoo. We had such a blast. We saw all the animals there (some twice). We spent 5 hours there. It didn't seem like 5 hours at all. Below is a picture of Megan and I on the train with her friend she met in line. 
After the train ride, we made our way up to the cat dens. We were able to see the white tiger - he's absolutely beautiful. Meg loved watching him. At one point, he was playing with the rock in the background like it was a ball. He was batting it back and forth and chasing it when he'd hit it to hard. It was amazing to watch him.
As we were leaving the zoo, Meg told me "I'm not sleepy". Famous last words...not 3 minutes later, she was out like a light. So, we came home to let her finish her nap. After her nap, we went to the park so she could ride her tricycle. As she was riding it, I finally decided that she needed a big girl bike. So, we welcomed her new "big girl bike" to the Megan Toy Family tonight. After we left the park, we headed up to Wal-mart to pick out her new bike. It was a big decision. We probably spent close to 45 minutes picking out the perfect bike. I think she's happy with her decision :)
Tonight, before we climbed into bed, we had to go outside to the garage and tell her new bike good night. Then, of course, we had a small melt down. She wanted to bring the bike into the house so it could sleep in her room. After trying to calm her down, without success, I just snatched her up and brought her in. Once I started her movie, she forgot all about the bike having to sleep in the garage. Meg and I had bought her some flash cards a while back. She just wasn't that into the flash cards, so I had to come up with a creative way to engage her. She loves to read, so I made her an ABC book using her flash cards. She loves it. I'm amazed at how many letters she's already learned. I'm so proud :) 
Jarrad and I bought Meg her first pair of roller skates this year for Christmas. She hasn't quite firgured it out, but she will! She had a death grip on Jarrad's fingers. She told me that she needs to practice every day so she can get better! What a cutie! 
Daddy is so sweet to help Meg from the grass where she'd been practicing to the patio. 
She isn't letting go of Jarrad's hand until she's sitting on the ground! So cute!
Meg's favorite pose. She's so cute - she learned that from the movie "Stick It". Its one of her favorite movies. 
Tonight, while Megan was in my bedroom watching a movie, her RED Gatorade some how made it's way to the carpet. I have to say that she did come and tell me...however, the conversation went like this:
Meg: Puppy knocked over my Gatorade.
Me: Are you saying that you spilled Gatorade?
Meg: No, Puppy spilled it. I've already put him in time out.
Me: Is there Gatorade on my carpet? I don't care who put it there.
Meg: Ummmmm...yes, puppy spilled it.
I rushed into my room only to find that there wasn't one spill, there were two! So, I sent Meg to bed (it was past her bed time anyways) and ran to Walmart to buy the Bissell Spot Bot. OMG - I'm in love with this machine! It got the Gatorade out of the carpet. YEAH!
