Josh left Monday morning at 5:50am. I can't really complain too much. Ella did fairly well. We kept up with our normal routine during the week. Thursday was Halloween. I let her wear her Minnie Mouse costume to Beth's house. Beth's house is in a very popular neighborhood in Lynchburg....well I didn't think about it...but it was Halloween! So I got to Beth's house around 5:15 and it was already packed out with kids trick-or-treating...they were coming in droves! Ella was scared of the kids in masks...glad we didn't go! I took her to my work just to say, "Hi" to the few people who were still at work and then we headed home.
Saturday morning Ella and I went to a vendor show....had some pictures done...
It's this booth where they have all kinds of props that you can put on and take pictures - it was cool. Ella enjoyed it! We went outside and got to go in a big bounce house. She jumped for about 20 minutes and then I took her to the mall where she got to go in a place called, "Bounce About" that had 7 BIG bounce houses....that was pretty cool!
We stayed there for about 1.5 hours. Then we went to the food court to Chick-Fil-A to get lunch. We walked through the mall. And then it was about 1:30...time to get Ella home for a nap! I sang songs with her the whole way home to make sure she stayed awake in the car! I thought for sure she would sleep for at least 2 hours....nope...1 hour - that was it! So when she got up we played for a bit and then went to the grocery store. Josh called around 5:40...I thought to tell me that he was home....nope...instead told me that their car had broken down about 35 minutes from our house....on their way home from Chicago....great just great! A tow truck was called and I went and picked them up....again THANKFUL that they were that close to home...could have been much worse!
Sunday - went to church. Josh found a great new way to get Ella to go to the nursery...so he brings her as it's a little easier than when I try to drop her off. So he brings her and she is just screaming MAMA...I can hear her as I am walking down the hall! He ended up taking her outside and they talked. He told her that he would let her go down the slide 2 times...and then she had to go to nursery and play while we went to church. She agreed...he let her go down the slide twice...and he said that they went to nursery and she walked right in and did absolutely great - no tears! And had a great morning....now hopefully that works every week! I did 6 hours of laundry! All of Josh's clothes, towels, bedding....my washer and dryer were non-stop! I cooked a few meals, made muffins, made brownies. I was busy but was LOVING having Josh home to help entertain Ella!
Ella can talk really well. She is forming sentences. Oh....I went to lunch with mom and dad on Wednesday as they had a trip to Lynchburg. We went to lunch and it was free pie day! So I brought home a piece of pie. Ella said, "Pie? I like pie!" And yes she did...they few bites she was allowed to have!
She is such a routine girl. She has a mini muffin and yogurt with milk EVERY single morning....routine like her Mama!
She did great with the time change....although this morning she was up about 30 minutes early. Talking of sleeping....making me super sleepy...time for me to go to bed!
