Fun Saturday!

Well guess where Ella got to go this morning....to McDonalds!!! Josh always gets to sleep in on Saturday...so I usually get up around 6:45 (and that's because that is right around when Ella wakes up)...and sure enough...I walked up the stairs and I heard "MAMA!" I hadn't even gotten to take a shower yet...so Ella and I played, watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, read books, and read more books! Around 8:45 - Josh makes his way up the stairs...so I immediately say - I'm jumping in the shower! A few minutes later there is a knock at the bathroom door with Josh saying...there isn't anything for breakfast...do you want to go to McDonalds (which of course the answer is no) - so I say nah...you and Ella can go....so he bundled her up and off they went! After they came home I asked Josh if she ate anything there....nope didn't even want a bite! (That's my girl!) - Of course she had already had a cup of milk and her nutra-grain bar.

While I was getting ready - I got a phone call saying that a friend of mine (and co-worker) was in a pretty bad car accident the night before....I was already getting ready to go to the grocery store in Lynchburg...so I thought...well I'm going to go see if I can visit her at the hospital....so I stopped to visit with her for a few minutes...and off I went to Target and then the grocery store (what a fun Saturday morning!)

When I got home - (Josh and Ella stayed home) - we all had lunch....here is Ella with a messy yogurt face...

 

This was after I had wiped her face some...it was all over!

I had my oven on for 5 hours today...first was to put a frozen pizza in the oven for Josh for lunch. Then I baked sweet potatoes...which I then made into a sweet potato casserole that had to be baked...then I baked two loaves of banana bread (and I remembered to make sure I had baking soda!) and then I made sweet potato fries and chicken nuggets (for Josh and Ella for dinner). That's the busiest my oven has been in a long time! I did 4 loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher and vacuumed...all these things I have to do on the weekends now....just a few more things to do tomorrow and I will be caught up for the week!

While I was baking...Josh and Ella were busy...

 

After I took the picture....I joined in and helped color too! :)

Oh and one last picture....really I could take this same shot everyday...Ella LOVES to feed the puppies...

This was last Sunday.
