Revisionist History and Our Trip to the Zoo

I will not revise history.  This I daily promise myself, when upon gazing at my sleeping children, snuggled in their beds, I begin to forget the horrors of the day.  

So, I sit down to begin a post about our trip to the zoo.  I gather the following pictures because, well, my kids look so darn cute.

And while I am typing, I remember what a dreadful time we had at the zoo.  I then gather the following pictures because, well, their tone is more honest.

What's funny is that when they're sleeping, I really do forget how awful our day has been.   Perhaps revising history is just one way that parents cope.  On that note, all of my kids are sleeping, and we've had such a good day.
