I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Makenna's comprehension has been almost complete for a long while now but her speech is starting to catch up which is always fun to watch and hear!

I DOOOOOOOOO!!!! is one of her fave enthusiastic responses at the moment! 

Lincoln Park Zoo

We decided to take advantage of our last days outside and hit the Lincoln Park Zoo with the Baby's.  What a show these animals put on despite the chilly temps.  

This was a friendly and seemingly hungry black bear!

Inside the Ape House i asked Kellan to look as mad as the Gorilla and this was his attempt.  So funny!

 Lil Sully was OBSESSED with the Gorillas and i have to say i was too!
 The captive audience - all 4 munchkins - 2 sets of twins according to RJ Grunts!
HI TURTLE!!! Makenna's speech has really taken off and it's SO CUTE to hear that little voice!
Lions and Tigers and Black Bears UP CLOSE - Ohh MY!

Sea Otters - what M you're kind of scared of this cute little playful guy but not the big black bear?! Apparently we need to sit down and review some safety rules :)
Cool Monkey Canopy for KIDS! Kellan loved it!

I've Changed....Suburbssssssssssss


Ok fine so I didn't got to Lowes and Home Depot seeking entertainment, really it was for front planter urns so we can deck the halls for Christmas, but we did end up walking into a delightful winter wonderland. The kids were obsessed with the trees, lights, ornaments, toys, etc.

 And I was obsessed with this double car cart deal which kept 2 kids contained and happy - hallelujah!
Total bill $10 - score one for mommy only one little sing-a-long Christmas carole Mickey snow globe!



Another Visit To Wagner Farms

We paid another visit to Wagner Farms with the Damon's and McCaffrey's and had a blast!  The only hitch was it was a little chilly so after visiting the animals and running the fields we found shelter inside the barn and played on this weird looking black key board thing (that is not a touch screen), sorted chicken eggs, milked cows, ran our own farmer's market out of the wagon etc.  What fun and lots of good learning!

 Watch and learn little bug...let your big brother show you how it's done! 
Sometimes we have to get aggressive and ring the bell!
 This is FUN to do together! HUGS!
 Surprisingly the kiddos liked handing out candy as much as receiving it and loved talking to all the kids and seeing their costumes. 



 Rare acts of sharing and kindess from big bro to lil sis! I LIKE IT!
 Wait...or not..
 Little first fight
 And luckily a peaceful ending...he even hand fed her - hilarious!
