Daddy tinkles his pants

Dad, "Cousin Justin is coming to visit."
Ella, "Oh, no!"
Dad, "Why do you say that?"
Ella, "Cause you two act silly. You might laugh so hard you'll tinkle your pants."
Sadly enough, probably true. HOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLD!

I'mmmmm back

I've been focusing on school for the past several months so I haven't had time to blog. OK, really, my dad was lazy and didn't want to spend a whole 15 minutes typing my messages. Ooops, he's back so act like I didn't say that.
So, this blog may be lengthy as I have to catch you up on the life that is Ella. Let's see, let's start with the basics.

School - it's good. I get good grades, the occasional yellow card. Oh yeah, I won the citizenship award for the school in February. That's a pretty big deal. My mom and dad asked why I won it. The answer is simple, I make sure that everyone is included in things. Some of my friends don't like it when I do that but I just say "who cares, that's the way it is". Anyway, school is wrapping up. I'm getting 3s in all my subjects (that's a 3 out of 3) and I'm testing above the benchmark whatever that means.

Soccer - I moved up a league this season and did well. I scored a few goals and dropped some dimes on my teammates. The boys are ball hogs so if they get it, it's no fun. My friend Emma played on the team and we did well. I played in my first tournament a couple of weeks ago. Three games in one day. I was tired but daddy supplied treats between games and plenty of water. He said something about officially becoming a soccer parent. Badge of honor if you ask me. Besides, he drives a station wagon so anything is a step up on the cool factor from that.

Kids Fun Run - I ran a mile with my dad in a Kids Fun Run. I would have gone faster but my dad held me back. I was so bored that I held up the rock and roll sign for the last quarter mile.

Sister - my sister is getting bigger. She's got a blog also but that was updated the last time mine was so you'll have to read the small biography my dad writes to catch up on those 6 months. The only word she knows is my name. I do love her but she is trouble. All she does is cry, eat and poop. I like reading to her but she's got the attention of a spider monkey so I usually only get a couple of sentences in.

Mom and Dad - they are way busy at work but do a pretty good job of taking care of their responsibilities at home which is treating me like I'm the only kid they have. I know that sounds selfish but, hey, it's me we're talking about.

Tooth - lost my first one. Came out while I was eating corn on the cob. Actually, it got real loose eating corn on the cob and dad yanked it out. $5.00, oh yeah!

Went to Mardi Gras in Louisianna - came home with lots of beads and a chicken foot. Mommy got sun-burned on her boobies getting me the beads and the chicken foot is really cool!

Plans for Summer - Trips to grandparents (both sets). I was going to fly from Grandpa Steve's to Nana and Papas and then home all by myself but Grandpa Steve won't let me. He's going to fly with me now. "He's just silly because I know he's scared to fly because he drives everywhere. I'll make sure he is ok because it's just flying." (actual Ella quote to Grandpa Steve) After that, I don't know. I'm thinking about playing softball and taking golf lessons. We'll see.

Now that summer is approaching and I don't have any more homework, I'll make sure mom and dad get to posting my musings.

Gingerbread Girl - Night 2, Day 3

Saturday Night - I tried to keep ginerbread girl in bed with me last night but my hand got tired so I asked my mommy to ask daddy if he would sleep with gingerbread girl so she didn't sneak out again. She snuck out again and took pictures. She went down our back steps. She went out by our firepit and then she went into the woods. She came back up the stairs and when I woke up this morning she was by my door. My daddy was sleeping downstairs and was surprised that she got out again.

Sunday - Daddy said she slept most of the day while he watched football. She had to stay with daddy because I went out to my friends' farm. I got to feed a horse and play games. I'm glad she stayed home with daddy because if she sneaked away out at the farm she may have gotten lost.

I had fun with gingerbread girl and I hope she's not as tricky with the next kid to get her.

Caring for the Gingerbread Girl Day One...

Dad told me that Gingerbread girl was being sneaky again and that I needed to find her. Mom said that there were some clues in our camera. Gingerbread girl had been taking the camera and last night she (when I was sleeping) sneaked out to the driveway and she went in my dad's car and took pictures of herself. And she also took pictures in the driveway and with my dad's person (knome - go Oklahoma!). She also hanged on the Christmas tree and took pictures. I can't wait to tell Mrs. Daniel about this.

Caring for the Gingerbread Girl Day Two...

I was good and played with Hannah on the swings. Hannah picked me to get my gingerbread girl to take care of. I got to take her home with me over the weekend. I get to keep her for 2 days; other people get to keep her for one day. The day I brought her home I played a game with her. It was called Yahtzee. I got three 5's and two 2's. We had fun playing. I took her on a walk with my dad and Haley (neighbor) this morning. I wrapped her up in a small little blankie because she would get cold but she came undone and Dad did not wrap her back up.

We went to see Enchanted...

We went to see Enchanted the movie the day after Thanksgiving. It was pretty good but I could not let out a laugh because I didn't feel like it. I didn't understand the chipmunk. He was trying to say that the wicked witch was trying to give the princess an apple to make her go asleep and he bit the dragon. And then the dragon fell down, down, down, down but the prince was stuck on a sing (thing) and he could not get down and then they slipped all the way down and got married and then the other prince married the other girl. That's all.

October Update

I made a halloween bracelet. I went to visit my grandma and grandpa. I went to the enchanted forest. I went to my sister's baptism. Everyone was calling me yellow card. Next time I visit, I'll wear my bully shirt so they stop picking on me. Daddy told me to tell them that "at least I'm smart enough to get a yellow card. I went trick or treating. I dressed up as Super Girl. My sister dressed up as a pack of Smarties. We had a party at school. I ate candy and I got a tattoo. I finished playing soccer. I followed my daddy's rules which are 1. Have fun, 2. Don't whine and 3. Don't ask to take a break. My daddy says I improved a lot over the season and we'll see about playing in the big kids league next year.
I want to share my sight words.
