LOTD #55 and the Zoo

 

Avon Glazewear Diamonds Lipstick in Wine With Shine 

(discontinued.... and kinda old- prob from 2008)

 

Although I like this color, it has absolutely no staying power. It feels nice when you apply it, but it wears off quickly and leaves behind glitter, but not much color.

 

Trashing this one, due to age and the fact that I just don't like it!

 

The Zoo

 

 

Last Saturday morning the kids and I decided to head up to the OKC Zoo- it was a bit overcast and felt great outside! Mr. Sasha was at the lake visiting a friend.

 

We had a fabulous day, and did quite a few things we've surprisingly never done before. I have always wanted to ride the tram around the zoo, but for some reason we've never made that happen. Right before we decided to leave, it was getting hotter, so the covered tram was a perfect choice to spend some time sitting and just enjoy the exhibits from the tram.

 

 

We also enjoyed the Sea Lion show. I have no idea why we haven't done that in the million trips we have made to the zoo, but we'll be doing it again. The sea lions are so cool and do the cutest tricks- the kids loved it! 

LOTD#34 and a Baby Gorilla

2 lipsticks in 1 BlastFlipstick! Flip your look from day to night, soft to bright, with BlastFlipstick's double-ended lipstick duos. With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!

CoverGirl Blast Flipstick in Minx

This is another one of the Flipsticks I received from BzzAgent in December when I joined a campaign for CoverGirl.  These retail for around $8.50.

I went through a period in the mid-90s where all I wore was brown lipstick. Revlon Cocoa Bean was my staple for years. Shudder......

But today I think I can say that I am officially over it. It just doesn't seem to suit me anymore! 

Baby Gorilla!

On Friday the kids were out of school, so we drove up to the zoo and had a fabulous time. Towards the end of the day we stopped at the gorilla exhibit and look what we found! A baby! It was seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen! 

His name is Leom and he was born on Valentine's Day. We'll be going back up to the zoo next week with WC's grade field trip, and I think the gorilla exhibit may have to be our first stop to check on this little guy.

A Trip to the Zoo

The past two Sunday afternoons, after naps, we've headed up to the zoo. The gates close at 5:00, but you can actually stay until dusk. There's practically no one there, and we've taken picnic dinners and had a fabulous time.

Right now we have two baby snow leopards, and they are precious.

But every single time I try to get a picture of the kids together, this is what happens.


The can't sit still long enough for me to even snap the pic. And I've got a Rebel, so there's no shutter lag time.

See? Still moving.

This one is funny because you can see WC in the background getting ready to pounce on P.

Yesterday I entered the kids in the Gap Casting Call. Now we've talked about this before-- don't go entering you own gorgeous kids and beating mine. Now, this isn't the pic of P that I entered since any pic you submit cannot have been "exhibited or displayed publicly through any means previously."

And yes, I know he needs a haircut. Can you come over and do it for me? I just don't have the energy for a greased pig contest.
