July 4th has come and gone!

Last Friday night....I had a girls night! I don't do that often...and yes by 9pm I was yawning :) I did however make it til 11pm! We had a fun night catching up and having dinner (and chocolate cake for dessert!)


Josh spent the majority of his weekend working on homework...soon it will be over! There is a light at the end of the tunnel...mid-August!

It was just another normal week for us. Actually Josh had Tuesday and Wednesday off...not due to July 4th however...it was time he took off to finish school work as the end of the semester is today.

July 4th - it rained almost all day! Surprise Surprise! However the sun did come out in the afternoon and we went over to some friends house last night....where we had a BBQ and did some fireworks....



Ella liked the sparklers...we took turns helping her hold them....we did a few bigger fireworks too...she said those were, "noisy fireworks."

We bought Ella a booster seat and her very own Minnie Mouse plate with matching silverware...so she now sits with us at the table for all her meals instead of her high-chair. She thinks she is hot stuff!

I made Ella pizza last week (this was before I bought her a plate/booster seat) and I was eating a salad...well Ella kept pulling all the veggies out of my salad and eating those instead!


Ella's little friend at the sitter's broke her arm last week (not at the sitters - but at her house over the weekend) - poor little thing...she's about Ella's size...a few months older...and has a big bright pink cast on her arm. Ella was excited to tell Josh about it!

 

Ella LOVES to color...can ya tell?? This is her art gallery! That we clean up every night...but she colors a little bit on each page and then puts her picture on the floor to "save it" and moves on to the next one. She loves for Josh or I to draw stars or balloons and then she wants to color them in.

Josh is going shooting tomorrow and is in another competition on Sunday. I'm glad he's getting a little downtime in...instead of all the homework he's been doing!
