Scuba Ella!

Ella's Graduation was quite entertaining. Her teacher had the kiddos announce what they wanted to be when they grow up after they got their diplomas. Here are a few of my favorites:

Potobrapher (photographer)

Professional Ice Skater

I don't know yet

and

Scuba Diver

As Miss Pulliam announced that she was going to have her students do this I wondered aloud what we would hear. Prince C and J both laughed and gave me a "who knows" kind of look....

As Ella pranced across the stage, we waited....She shook hands with Miss Pulliam, hugged her, and approached the mic.

"When I grow up, I want to be a scuba diver."

Awesome.

xxoo,

Frootie!

PS - Her boyfriend said he wants to be a scuba diver too.

American Girl Doll

Ella has been saving for an American Girl doll for quite a while.... When she graduated from Kindergarten last week, her Mommy ordered her one. So, in other words...Ella has over a hundred dollars to spend on something else.

While at her graduation dinner:

Frootie!: What are you going to name your American Girl Doll?

Ella: Addie Pulliam.

Frootie!: So, you want to name her your teacher's name?

Ella: Yep, I love Miss Pulliam.

*tear*

xxoo,

Frootie!

I can hear you

Tonight while eating dinner Ella burped really loud. Then Prince C burped really loud. They both looked at me : Your turn. No way. I was taught that burping at the dinner table was not a proper way of behaving. Then Prince C started whispering.

Prince C: You better get used to it. She *point point* will teach her *point point* how to do that too.

Frootie!: Ew, I hope not.

Ella: Um, I can hear you! Stop whispering.

Prince C: Ok, fine.

Ella: What'd you say?

xxoo,

Frootie!

Lemon Bars

Last night we made Lemon Bars.

Tonight Prince C gave a bite to Ella.

Ella: *good face - quickly to an awful face* Ew, I don't like this.

Prince C: Just finish it and swallow and you don't have to eat anymore. Do you not like Lemon stuff?

Ella: *shoulder shrug* I dunno.

Prince C leaves the room.

Frootie!: Ew, did you just drool on the couch?!?

Ella: Yes, by accident. That Lemon stuff was just so nasty.

Frootie!: Oh, well Ew! and keep your mouth shut.

Ella: But it was just so gross, like your giant boobies.

xxoo,

Frootie!

Free Willy

Ella: Today in the tub I am going to play Free Willy.

Prince C: That's Frootie!'s favorite game.

Frootie!: *gasp*

Prince C: tee hee. How do you play it?

Ella: I don't know. I just do.

later......

Frootie!: How was Free Willy? Did you free him?

Prince C: What kind of whale was it? A sperm whale?

Ella: No a killer whale. Duh.

xxoo,

Frootie!
