Ella was tying her shoes this a.m. when I overheard the following:

"Ahhhh no. One of my shoe laces is dead."

Here are some more of my vacation pictures.

This is how I kept from getting sunburned...just kidding - my dad buried me in the sand on our last day at the beach. I had so much fun at the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Field Trip to the Alpaca Farm

I picked up Ella and lil 'E today from daycare. Ella came zooming down the hall, all smiles when I asked her how her day was. She stopped in her tracks, looked at me and said "Not good...I got kicked by a llama." She is hysterical.

I wiat on a thia and i got to patu a hyoucab and i got soum hyoucab earg

(ella wrote this all on her own and even posted it. translation is: "I went on a vacation and i got to pet a horseshoe crab and I got some horseshoe crab earrings and it was fun.")

PS - she wants to be referred to as eleanor now :).

Bachelorette and B-Day at School

Bachelorette - Why is she crying? Are they trying to marry her? That's silly.
B-day at School - Today we celebrated summer birthdays. Some people liked the ice cream and some people didn't. I didn't like the ice cream even though it was the ice cream that mommy bought.
I wish Ms Daniel would keep all our art projects so she could remember how good we all are.

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!
