Well....the birds found the bird-feeder....and we have a ton of birds now! While I was making dinner tonight I looked out the window and there were 5 birds out there. We also have seen a big ole squirrel eating out there. Ella saw the squirrel and got really excited and said, "ohhhh can I hold him??" Wellll....no you can't...he's a wild animal! The bird feeder has been a big hit....she loves looking out at it...and so do Josh and I!
On Saturday I had to work....so Josh told Ella a secret....they talked about what they were going to do while I was at work (I didn't know that they talked about it)....so right before I left I asked Ella what kind of fun things her and Daddy were going to do while I worked....and she looked right at me and said, "Go to Lowes and buy mulch." Hahaha...Josh was like Ella....I told you don't tell Mommy! He wanted to surprise me with it......but they did surprise me with one other thing....They planted some seeds in a big planter....more of a fun experiment...Josh said he really doesn't expect anything from it....but it would be cool if they sprouted so Ella could see it....so everyday she looks in the planter to see if her seeds have grown.
Ella has allergies/cold...I'm not sure which right now...it's fairly mild....but I think her throat hurts....she keeps saying my neck hurts and is holding the front of her neck....but I think she means her throat hurts but she doesn't know how to relay that. I did take a light and look in her mouth....I didn't see any white spots (usually means Strep)....so I'm going to give it another day or so....and the few people that I know that have had strep in the last month....were really sick...Ella hasn't been sick....so I'm thinking it's just a little sore throat....I told her she needed to be quiet to let her throat rest...obviously it doesn't hurt that bad as she's a chatterbox!
I have made in the past few weeks...a few times...roasted baby potatoes (yellow, red, and purple) and asparagus...soooo delicious! I never knew I liked asparagus!
I don't have any updated pictures...I will need to work on that!
Last weekend after I worked we went over to the lake so Gigi could watch Ella...and Josh and I went to my parents church to watch a play that my Dad was in (Mom was in it too....but took the afternoon show off so she could watch Ella) - it was fantastic! Gigi tired Ella out....so she slept on the way back to Lynchburg...and woke up just in time to go to our friends house for a cookout....perfect weather Saturday!
Sunday evening I went with a few co-workers to another play at a church called Hyland Heights to see our friend Caison and her family in the play. Again - another fantastic job. Poor Ella was so upset that I left...she's never really threw a fit about me leaving before...but she had just woken up from her nap...and was grouchy...and not feeling well....and she saw me dressed up and was like, "where are you going mama?"...and burst into tears....well Josh said...she threw a fit for 1.5 hours!! Poor Josh! He said really there was only tears for about 20 minutes....then she just carried on screaming and whining....Josh said she was screaming....."I want Daddy to go to work.....and Mama to come home to stay with me. I don't like Daddy! I want my Mommy!" Apparently she carried on for quite some time....yikes! Then she decided she was done...and was fine for the rest of the evening!
Well...I am tired...it's been a long week....and a long battle every night with trying to get Ella just to sit on the big girl potty.....she just might be in diapers FOREVER! :)
