November 8th - 2 trips to the zoo

Myths I've busted this week:

1) I will be more motivated to cook gourmet, wholesome meals once it turns cold outside. It turned cold this week and I've yet to impress even Sully with any creative cooking.
2) I've built a wardrobe full of timeless classics. You know it's bad when you open up the Lands End catalog and start thinking about updating your style.
3) Now that I'm a stay-home mom, I will have ample time to prep for the holidays. Once I stop obsessing about making the perfect plans, I'll be behind on the shopping. (Anyone else want to just exchange gifts among cousins???)

So, anyway, here are the photos of our two zoo trips (one to Nana's for her birthday party and one into the city to see the other wild animals):

First, the cousins....Aunt Julie claims they are finally starting to look like cousins, what do you think?



Here is Joey eyeballing Carly's frog...doesn't that kid have any stuffed animals of his own?



Grandma Rita's (inevitable) photo crashing:



This first shot does a good job of summarizing today's playdate.



Here is a mammal enjoying lunch (hint: it's not Carly).


And finally, a shot of the elephant distancing himself from the screamer.
