Today's hairstyle was super easy and took me less than 10 minutes.  I took a chunk of hair on each side and braided it, one side at a time.  Then met them in the middle and joined them with a hair tie.  I am trying out styles that are quick and easy so I can do them in the morning while my children are playing or finishing up breakfast. 

Today we went to the zoo.  My kids love the zoo and we go there often, with friends and by ourselves.  Today we met up with my friend who is leaving for Hawaii soon.  Her husband has a job there so they are moving at the end of the month.  It was great to see her one last time before she left.

A few weeks ago I got the chance to visit with two of my college friends, Amanda and Kelli.  It was so

good to see them.  Kelli lives outside Chicago so we don't get to see her very often.  The kids and I decided to take a trip to go see her and her son Elijah.  This is the first time we met him and he was really cute.  He will be walking very soon.  On the way to Kelli's, we picked up Amanda, who lives approx. half way between Kelli and I.  It was great to get in some adult conversation.  Here are some pictures from our week together.
