i’ve been feeling pretty crappy the past few days. don’t know what’s been in the air but i was just moody and bitter and feeling low, which is really sad because it’s almost christmas! the time for happiness and love, right? so since the best way for me to get out of my self-pity party is to forget about myself and do service for others, i did a few acts of service and i feel much better. it really works everytime. and it’s not because i’m a great person, but more so for a selfish reason, since i knew doing acts of service would make me happier and feel better.
and looking at this picture and the video makes me happier too. you might wonder what that black stuff is on my older daughter’s face? she snuck in some of my black eyeshadow on her face and was adamant she left her “pretty makeup on the whole day”. so i wasn’t going to tell her it wasn’t really pretty, how could i? so I just let her be. π
our favorite fun place to go is the kangaroo zoo.
and the reason why i say “our” instead of the “girls”
is because it’s my favorite place too.
i’m the only mom going down the slides and the rides with the kids
but i don’t care, i have so much fun!
sometimes i want to tell all the starring mothers,
“hey! you guys should try this slide!
it goes down really fast and i think you’d love it!”
i hope you’re having a non-bitter, non-moody season that’s filled with lots of happiness and love. but if you’re feeling down, feel free to come and do a service for me. haha, so jk!

That looks like so much fun π I've been feeling down the last few days too, maybe it's something in the air? Oh well, I'm following your word and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity this weekend. Service really does lift the spirits! I hope you have a joyous rest of your holiday season π

Sarah I want to take Kai there! But maybe I am too fat… γ .γ . Is there a minimum age/height and maximum? I am coming in February and it would be fun to go there with him since it will be cold….Brr.

You look so gorgeous with your hair up! And how can you stay sad with all those cute girls in stripes! (you included, haha)

@gabrielle, what a wonderful idea! I've been looking for a volunteering place too, i think it's such a great idea! @emily, there's no height requirement but the weight is under 150 lbs. and I know for a fact you're way under that, so don't worry! π my husband can't go which always makes him sad, haha. and we should go together, we go there all the time!
@yumi: thank you, you are always so sweet and so darling! π
