Happy Halloween!

Ellie's first Halloween! She had a great time! She definitely got the hang of putting out a bucket and getting candy! Her favorite request now is for a "pop". (lollipop). It was pretty chilly, so her costume was perfect to keep her warm. Katie ran ahead with the "big kids" so we only saw her for part of the trick-or-treating!

Burt's Pumpkin Farm

This was Ellie's first time at a Pumpkin Farm! She loved checking everything out! It was way too crowded for the hayride, so that will have to wait until next year!

technical difficulties...

We're experiencing some technical difficulties! When I try to download a picture, it comes up in the preview, but shows as a bunch of letters and symbols in the actual blog. If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know! I've searched the help section, but it wasn't much help!

Whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy???

These are the words we're hearing around our house these days! I'm not sure Ellie quite knows how to use this question, but she says it quite often!!!

Funny Girl!

Ellie now enjoys the "how big is Ellie?" game, and apparently finds wearing Katie's ponytail holder on top of her head pretty fun, too! She won't wear a cute bow, but she'll walk around all day like that! kids!

Potty Training?!?

As we were hanging out in the family room before dinner, Ellie ran over to the baby gate saying "poo poo" and shaking the gate. Just to see what would happen, I opened the gate. She walked into the bathroom and started to lift the toilet seat. So, I took off her diaper and sat her down! She stayed for quite a while and actually did a tiny poop! I handed her some TP, and she "wiped" her bottom! (you have to be a parent to appreciate this story!) After this, we pulled the training potty out of the attic, and she sat on that for a while, and peed! Wheather this will last is anyone's guess!

Feeling Blue?

Not around here! Thanks to the teller at Wachovia, we got blue lollipops! Ellie was extra excited since it was her first!
