Happy Saturday! Here's Red Bed! The guard thingy takes away some of the glory of the finished bed, and of course it's drowning in stuffed animals, but there you go. The snake is made from sweater sleeves after Ellie went through a snake phase. She got to hold one at school, and this is the one we have at home.
Family dinner tonight was lovely. Two of the few things I need to be soulfully happy are a farmer's market bouquet from the hubs, and sweet potato fries from Trader Joe's.
Ellie doesn't care about the flowers.
This is totally random, but I wanted to share this. This turkey is technically wild but has adopted our friend Katie's neighborhood. Sometimes in the evening when we drive home from hanging out with Katie's family, we spot this turkey (always) on top of this Toyota. It's awesome! Apparently, she had a son, who was really aggressive and one time showed up in Katie's backyard like a serial killer trying to get at her son, and eventually that same turkey slashed a horse to bits just outside of town with its crazy turkey talons. They had to put it down it was so bloodthirsty. But the Mama Turkey isn't murderous, she's just cute, and sad about her son probably. Ellie is obsessed with her. And I wanted you to see her.
Good job, mama! The red bed and comforter looks great! I can't believe Ellie is in big girl bed already. I'm keeping Matty in his crib as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...murderous turkey...scary! I hope I never run into one in the wild. And, I didn't know turkeys can fly! Who knew?!
Wait until Ellie sees the turkey mob that roams the neighborhood. They travel in a pack of about 15. No lie.
