Happy Halloween! Last night was a weird sort of holiday for our family... for once, we weren't all in the same place. If you know anything about my family, you'll understand why this is such a strange thing. Josh, K and I worked at our church's annual Trunk or Treat, Cory worked at the drive-in, while Gran, Poppy, Molly & Ella went to Birmingham to see Disney on Ice. I know she's only two, but how fun is that? Now she doesn't really know anything about Disney characters except: Minnie & Mickey Mouse are on her diapers, K & Cory brought Minnie ears from DisneyWorld this summer, the Disney Princesses are on her pull-ups and of course, the Jungle Book. Thank goodness, this production included Baloo, Mowgli and the monkeys -- my child was in heaven. She & Molly were both ...

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 ...
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? ...
Happy Fall Y’all!
Let me first say, hello! I missed you yesterday... I think it was the first day since I started this blog that I didn't post. We didn't have much to talk about at our house and it was our sweet daddy's last evening at home before heading out of town for the week, so we spent some much needed family time last night. A few sweet Ella things... this morning while putting her in the car seat she told me that I need to go to the "man village." If you've been following this blog you understand she is obsessed with the Jungle Book. How weird is that... the man village? Then as we were pulling out of the driveway in the dark, she spotted the sunrise and said, "Look mommy, it's a rainbow!" How adorable is that? I explained that the sun was "waking up" and it was a sunrise, but I kind of like the ...
