Monday - I worked, Ella went to the sitters, and Josh did stuff that he wanted to do (reloading ammo, visiting his old work, stopping to get a milk-shake!)
Tuesday - I went to work while Josh had Daddy Care. He did a great job...and he actually took Ella (all on his own - it was his idea!) to Thomas Road - to go play on their indoor playground. He said she did pretty good...but she needs to work on her social skills a bit...which I thought that meant she was shy...but no...when the other kids who were playing there got to close to them she was trying to push them away...throwing punches! So we will work on that!
Wednesday - we all went to Romp 'n Roll together. Oh, but before we went...right around 8:30 - the power went out. Which it was a clear gorgeous day...so we weren't sure why it went out. At least my hair was dry...I wasn't able to straighten all of it...so I had to wear it half pulled back. I wanted to run to the store to pick up a few things...but I didn't because I wasn't sure if the power would be back on by the time we got home....which....it wasn't. Finally around 12:30 it came back on...so I went and did my errands then. I made a peanut butter pie to bring over to Mom and Dad's for Thanksgiving. Which Josh insisted we try before bringing it over...you know...just to make sure it was good!
Ella knows the word, "bite"...and if you have something she wants..she will yell, "BITE" until you give her a bite. And come to find out...she really likes peanut butter pie!
Thursday - Thanksgiving Day! We got up in the morning and headed over to the lake. We feasted on good food (steak and chicken on the grill). Had 3 different kinds of pie. Went to the park for a beautiful walk (where we got to see a horse drawn carriage -they were out for a ride!) and play on the fun playground. Ella got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa for a bit, while Josh and I went on a date to the movies (to see the final Twilight movie - Josh was thrilled!)
Our day in pictures...
Ella went full-speed all day....we got in the car to head home a few minutes after 7...and she was asleep within minutes! We drove through Lynchburg right around 7:50...and it looked like it was gearing up to be some crazy shopping...we avoided that!
Friday - time to decorate the tree! I wanted to clean some first before putting the tree up...so we did that for an hour this morning...and then Josh brought up the tree. Ella really wasn't sure what to think of it....she watched Josh put it together and just stood back. Then he went and got the ornaments...and had her come stand next to him while he showed her how to put them on the tree....well she just lit right up. That was the best thing ever!! She was grabbing an ornament and running over to the tree where she just set the ornament on the branch....and then went running back to the couch to get another ornament....and running back to the tree...she was having a blast!
That was fun! After the tree decorating we went into town to get a few things that Josh wanted and to hit the grocery store....the store was so empty...it was great! It was again about 65 today...so Josh and a few friends went to the shooting range by our house...he was in 7th Heaven!
And that's been our week in a nutshell!
I'm constantly asking Ella what a cow says...I just love hearing her "mmoooo!" I don't think she's picked up on any new words this week...she has however gotten a little picky on how her food is served to her. I normally cut up whatever she is going to eat into small pieces (like her sandwich)...well when I cut it up she wouldn't eat it! So I cut a strip of it and handed it to her....which she ate just fine...so she no longer likes little baby bites...she wants to be a big girl! (With Mommy or Daddy right by her side watching her!)
Oh - Josh did install her new car seat today. So she is now forward facing...we actually put it in rear facing to begin with - but her legs are too long and she couldn't stretch the out - so he changed it to forward facing...and let me tell you what..she thought she was hot stuff!! The biggest smile from ear to ear!
