It's been a whirlwind of much of the same things....work, work, work....a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning I was tied up with a baby shower for my friend who is due with her first baby in July. Josh played "Daddy Daycare" for a few hours while I was there (I was helping set up/clean up...hard to have Ella with me for that)....so after the shower...we switched...I got Ella while Josh went golfing with some of his friends. Ella and I went grocery shopping and then home for a nap! Once Ella got up...we watched...what else...FROZEN!
Last weekend we went to the lake for Mother's Day....for a quick lunch and then an afternoon out on the lake!
Ella did fantastic on the boat....she was a little leery at first of the wind....but got over that pretty quick....she liked the waves...she liked being able to walk around...and she loved looking out at the front.
An early birthday celebration was also done....and Ella made out well! And she got her favorite....
It's a little blurry....but it's FROZEN pajamas....she was thrilled!
Funny Ella antics over the past few weeks....
She loves to sing the Frozen songs....so she runs up and down the hall with her blanket like a cape singing, "Let it go!!!!" When she had on her Frozen pjs she walked up to the tv and was talking to Elsa...saying, "look I have you on my shirt!"
One day this week Ella and I were playing outside...Josh had torn apart our oven (the bottom element burned out so we had to order a new piece...and it took a week to get it! Being without an oven is hard!)....so Ella and I were outside staying out of Josh's way...we took the puppies out. Ella kept running on the sidewalk and I told her not to run on the sidewalk she was going to fall...so after about the 10th time of me saying that....what happens....she falls on the sidewalk...drama galore! Thankfully she had capri's on so her knee had been somewhat protected by her pants...but sure enough...still scraped it up...a very small scrape...so she has tears....I carry her inside and I clean it up (after her Daddy gets to see it first)....and I put some neosporin on it....and a little pink Cinderella band-aid....well for the rest of the night she's hobbling around...and let me just say that this was the tiniest scrape ever!! The next day she wakes up grumpy and still hobbling around....we get to the sitters house..and I tell Beth what happened and Ella is still being sour....well the kids that were there were like....can we see it? can we see it?? Ella hobbles over to the living room and sits down and all the kids sit around her...she pulls up her pant leg...and the kids are oohing and aahing over her band-aid....asking her questions..and she was just soaking it right up....it was sooo funny! I wish I could have recorded it!
We have been working on the potty training pretty hard....and we're having some good success....even a few hours have been spent in "big girl panties"....and she thinks she is so special by getting to wear those....we're working on it!
Ella is getting a DVD player and some movies for part of her Birthday gift (a portable DVD player for the car)....I got Cinderella and The Little Mermaid....now she'll be even more into Disney Princesses! However we figured those things would be good for longer car rides....as vacation is coming up VERY soon!
Ella keeps us on our toes that is for sure! She's always making us laugh...this is a fun stage....she just says the funniest things sometimes!
Well I need to work on my grocery list for tomorrow...Josh brought home a lot of venison that his co-worker gave him....now I need to find some recipes...I don't know what to do with venison??
