Weekend roundup

No story to today's post; sorry about that. Just some cute pics of what we did this weekend. What can I say? It's Monday and I haven't quite had enough coffee yet to build a cohesive narrative structure.

Ella and I played Candy Land at the Chatterbox on Saturday, while Maisie played Mario Brothers.
Then the girls drew pictures. Maisie is always drawing and writing these days; we go through little pads of paper faster than you could believe. Here's Maisie's picture of two cows, a mama and a baby.
Ella's taken up drawing too, like Maisie. Unfortunately I have no idea what her picture is... she told me but I can't remember.
On Sunday the "girl team" (me and the girls) went to the zoo. Here's a penguin fight!
The girls posed for a picture on the tortoise statue, at the top of the Tropics Trail.
We also went through the Minnesota Trail, part of which goes outside and past a bird feeder. There was a huge wild turkey hanging out there, eating bird seed off the ground. Maisie was suitably impressed by it.

When we returned from the zoo, Ella took a nap and Maisie and I went to Target. Check out her addition to our shopping list...
That's WILD TRCEE (wild turkey). She thought it was hilarious!

Those girls are getting cuter by the minute!

Based on what Penelope draws, Ella's drawing is clearly a zebra. :)

Tonight at circus a wild turkey crossed the road in front of us. Beatrix is determined to bring it corn — or maybe mac and cheese — tomorrow.
