Ella-boo at the Zoo
Ella has been so excited all week because she knew on Saturday we were going to the zoo! Nana & Cookie bought tickets for us and we loaded up for Boo at the Zoo. Despite the price, it was well worth the fun. We rode the Haunted Carousel, decorated with scary lights and moving backwards. The only animals we saw were at the barn, but we said hello to geese, mice, snakes, sheep, goats, pigs and llamas. We got to sit on a tractor and pretend to drive. We trick-or-treated and got LOTS of candy (most of which didn't make it home... Ella really likes chocolate). We took a hayride through the woods and she was confused about why she wasn't riding shotgun on the tractor... she even called the man driving "Farmer Joe" (her name for the farmer in her play set, lol). Finally, we took a scary train ...
Fun Family Friday
Fridays are our favorite day - the day daddy comes home. Tonight we all got to do something we loved. We ate Mexican food. We went to Books-A-Million for Ella, Academy Sports for Daddy, and Hobby Lobby for mommy. Fun Family Friday! Ella picking out a new Fancy Nancy book and God knows all about Me! Nancy says, "Exquisite is an even fancier word for beautiful!" Eating cheese with our fingers... and lots of yummy rice! Unfortunately, Josh banned me from taking any more pictures (he's embarrassed by his blogging, camera-toting wife). It would have been great to get a picture of her clinging to the ride-along bus in Walmart as she screamed in horror that we would dare drag her away! ...
My, My, Minnie!
Okay, I should probably wait until closer to Halloween for this picture, but it is too cute to pass up. We decided to try our costume on tonight with the ears and make sure everything was perfect. How adorable is this? ...
Baby Blogger
We've discovered that Ella likes to type. She'd like to say a few words: fsjug;irjtg;ekjg;dlfkgjeg gmkvmr kgj;kgj ;rlkt s;dlkfj l ...
Indestructible?
Remember that dog bed that was virtually indestructible? Well, I came home to this today. The mattress has a five year warranty... wonder if this qualifies? Being destroyed by a 75 pound dog probably doesn't qualify as normal wear and tear. Not to mention it came from a yard sale. Does anybody want a dog? Seriously. If she can tear this up, she can do anything. She also ate my pine cones (that I planning on decorating with awfully soon) and a box that I needed to ship some invitations this week. Some of my favorite shoes were also strewn around, luckily she wasn't that dumb. I'm hoping the new chew toys I bought tonight are enough to distract her tomorrow. I cleaned it up and mended it the best I could. Replaced it with another crib sheet. Said a small prayer. Oh, and while I was ...
Studio Shots
So, I've been meaning to post some pictures of the studio/craft room now that it is almost completely decorated and organized. The furniture turned out perfect in White Chocolate and looks great against the Green Twig walls. I moved some orange, white and pink accessories in and was pretty happy with how it turned out. I still need some art in a few places, but you know me... I'll whip up something pretty soon! I'm enjoying making pretty things in this room and will continue to do just that unless we get to turn it into a nursery sometime in the future. If so, the lucky kid will have lots of art supplies because I'm not sure where else to put them!! ...
Sweet as sugar
In an unexpected blessing, Heath dropped by a couple of hours ago to see if Ella wanted to go to the junior-high football game for a little while. Um, yes! That was her talking (okay, and me!). She came back looking like this. Sweet. ...
