i've got everyone fooled?

last friday i went to the zoo with wesley's preschool class. i took ian and fiona with me as well, because ian loves the rhinoceros. it was a lot of fun (we lost and found, 20 panicking minutes later, one of the little boys) and actually not too stressful (except the above mentioned 20 minutes; i was really relieved it wasn't one of mine nor the child assigned to me). i didn't take the camera because i wasn't sure what to expect or if i'd even get a chance to get it out. yesterday, when i spoke to my mom, who works in the same school as the wesley's teacher, she told me how ms. jodi was singing my praises and so very impressed with me, my attitude and organization, and all that. she said the other teachers were so impressed that i was the mother of 3 under the age of 5 and that i had it all so together. i just wanted to laugh and cry out, "i have you all so fooled?!" only my children really know the truth and hopefully they'll never divulge that awful secret. well, i thought since i seem to have it all so together this would be a good time to also announce that we are indeed expecting again. in november. that's going to make for 4 under the age of 5. i must indeed be crazy, but oh so happy. i just love being a mother and can't imagine doing anything else right now. since i don't have any pics of the zoo and i'd hate to post without one, i'm going to include the pic that we used to announce to our families the good news. it took some time for some of them to figure it out and others no time at all. but it was really fun to read their responses. most thought i just wanted to make the rolls for thanksgiving dinner.
