Zoo and New Kitten

We hit up the zoo Monday with our friends and it was awesome- great weather and zero crowds. 

Only drawback: my favorite gorilla (Louis) was sleeping. :/

The kids had just as much fun climbing all over the statues- except Hill. She has hat placed memorized and is still dead serious about finding animals. She was yelling to Betsy "no foxes!" And Betsy didn't realize that we were passing by the "maned wolf" exhibit- they look like foxes- and there were no creatures to be found. They were asleep. "night night," if you will. 

The treehouse area where Hill fell and hit her face on a step, per tradition. 

Super proud of the one below.

Hill wouldn't even LOOK at the crocs. She kept saying "no Tick Toc Croc!"

Polar bears, below. 

This morning we went to P's where Miss Anne brought her new orphan kitten that she has to hand feed! So cute! 

Dress up w winter clothes. 

Benny's high chair debut. Jackie is reading aloud to him as I type. 

I picked up pipe cleaners and dollar glitter glue at Target this morning and they are decorating pumpkins w it. My kids at this age are def not hardcore arts and crafts. Oh well. They try. :)
