Getting ready for School

Today I ordered Ella a sweet backpack for school next year. She said it looks like Hawaii.

You decide.

Tooth two

Ella just pulled her second tooth. She's a tough cookie.

Reunited!

Last night Ella came home for the first time in 19 days! Her sister was so excited to see her!

2 words: Hair Saloner

When Ella grows up she has decided she would be a really great hair saloner. She will live on a farm with horses and be a hair saloner. Also, she thinks I would look good as a blonde.

xxoo,

Spa Day

Before we left for vacation Ella and I had a spa day. We went to get pedicures. Here is the photo story:

The End.

xxoo,

Frootie!!

blowing my clothes off!

A few weekends back Ella spent the weekend with Mama Norma and Papa Larry. She enjoyed my Mom and her giant floor fan.

Here is the story as told by Mama Norma and retold by me:

On Saturday morning Ella woke up late. She sleepily walked into the kitchen and as she passed the floor fan that mom keeps on when she is cooking and doing laundry. Ella was wearing her silky pj pants and the breeze caught her pants and made her giggle and giggle. Mom told her she would make her some oatmeal and to "go on into the living room and relax". Mom went on about making the oatmeal and noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ella was still in the kitchen, when she glanced over she saw that she also wasn't wearing pants. She was holding the pants up letting the wind catch them like a fan. Then she let them go, they blew thru the kitchen and into the laundry room. She giggled, clearly tickled with this. Mom went to the bathroom. When she returned Ella was standing in front of the fan in just her panties. Laughing and enjoying. Mom giggled and acted embarassed to see Ella "naked" and grabbed the oatmeal from the microwave. In the few seconds it took her to grab that, she turned and Ella was butt-naked. She had let her pants, shirt, and panties blow into the laundry room.

Mom exclaimed, "What on Earth are you doing"!?!

And

Ella replied, "I'm pretending the wind is blowing my clothes off, duh!"

haha. The story made me laugh when Mom told it. The cherry on top is when I was retelling it at the pool and Ella overheard me telling the story and said: Sure, Why Not? Like that is the best thing to do... I mean really, next time I am at the lake -- I am definitely taking off my clothes and standing in front of that fan.

xxoo,

Frootie!
