Cupcakes and Costumes and Candy, Oh My!
As if dance isn't enough fun by itself, on Thursday there were cupcakes and costumes and candy. And this little pumpkin got a taste of a lollipop, thanks to Mrs. Angela! All of the little ballerinas were decked out in their finest... princesses, superheroes, indians and pirates! ...
The Morning After
We have managed to cram an insane amount of Halloween goodness into the last four days, which leaves me endless photos to edit and upload, pumpkin innards to dispose of, more candy and popcorn than we know what to do with and two very tired and cranky little girls. For now, how about a photo of Olivia the Pig and the cutest Chicken Little you have ever seen? There, that's better. ...
Happy Halloween…

My Favorite Ella-isms
little lambs in ella's window {aunt vera, 3 from granmom & pop, her little people farm} My favorite words -- withbout, aminals, cimmanon, breakpast As she was reading her bible one evening she said, "... and Jesus was all alone in Jesus-land." She talks about dying and going to Heaven a lot. Although the topic of death is a bit morbid, I love hearing her talk about living with Jesus forever. She has decided that maybe he'll call us all home together so none of our family will be left behind. She did tell me that if she got there first she would not be waiting around on me - Jesus would be throwing her a party and she couldn't wait until I got there to go! She also told us she didn't want to eat only fish when we got to heaven; she was sad that she couldn't eat macaroni and ...
Boo Boo Boo at the Zoo
On Sunday afternoon, we decided to carry these two little Halloween-lovers to our local zoo for the annual Boo at the Zoo event. Despite what our daddy says, it did not disappoint. Just in case there is any question, Ella is Olivia the Pig for Halloween and Sophie is a pumpkin. Due to some unseasonably warm weather, Sophie skipped out on her costume, with the exception of her 'boggin. Hopefully, come Sunday the weather will be cool enough for some fuzzy knits! Sophie had the pleasure of hanging out in the carrier for most of the night and it was a life-saver. I was not looking forward to navigating a crowded zoo with a stroller and we all know that carrying a baby for hours while waiting in line is not a fun time for ANYBODY. We were smart enough this year to head straight for ...
Fall Festival
After another day of rest, a shot to the fanny, a z-pack and some fancy cough syrup - I was starting to feel much better. I woke up late Thursday afternoon and felt great, but the combination of medicines and an empty stomach was making me feel dizzy and very loopy. There was a fall festival at my mom's Elementary School and Ella has been begging to go for weeks. Since I should have been at work, mom was planning to take the girls and then meet me for Ella's dance class afterward. Instead, she picked me up {since I was too impaired to drive!!} and I followed them around for an hour or so. Let me just say that by the time we got home I was worn out and ready for another nap. Waiting in line to buy our armbands Hanging out with our friends, Kaitlyn and Madeline Connor and ...
It’s Nursery Day
For those of you who visit us often, you've seen photos of the girls' rooms numerous times. Today, Kelly is hosting "Show Us Your Room: Nursery/Children's Rooms Edition" and I'm joining in! I loved seeing everyone's rooms last summer and can't wait to see all of the new rooms linking up to this blog party. Click here to visit other beautiful nurseries and little bitty rooms. First, an introduction. These are my two pretty girls - Ella is four and Sophie is six months old. Our daddy is a bit overwhelmed with the estrogen and excessive pink around our house these days, but we sure are enjoying every little bit! Sophie and Ella have rooms that are connected, so we have decorated them in coordinating color schemes. It's so sweet because when the door is opened between them, it's like ...
