yesterday my kid neighbor turned eight! he invited me over for cake and ice cream, which was apparently delicious as I seem to have offered to take four kids to the zoo- yikes! on the plus side, the parents have a zoo membership, so at least it won't cost me $44 just to get through the gate.

buy I am psyched to visit the butterfly house, see the big cats, and maybe catch a glimpse of the baby polar bear. maybe I'll even get a big rainbow lollipop!*
