Busy Weekend!

A bit of shopping, a visit to the library and some raking on Saturday. Sunday we were up very early (4:45am!!)- so 7:30am mass fit nicely before groceries, a trip to Albany to visit Macy's and have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory! Once home, all three of us napped for a bit! As a 'special treat', as Ellie says .. we went to Humpty Dumpty for our first ice cream of the season. She has watched her father's Yankee Weekend video so much, she now walks around the house singing, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" .. it's the best! Some of you may remember, this was our wedding song - so it really means a lot to me.

PB&J for Saturday lunch

Today we had our 2year old pictures taken at Sears. Ellie did amazing being moved around and posed. We have way too many to choose from. She even made up a few of her own scenes while we were there! We celebrated by coming home and having our very first peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She ate crusts and all. She played in the yard with her bucket and rocks while we raked and straightened. As long as we have music nearby we can talk her into nearly anything. She doesn't like the pauses between the songs - and says, "Mommy, put doo-doo on!" She hasn't mastered doo-doo is actually music, but we're getting there. After all that fun it was time for a nap!

What a FUN Day!

Josh and Ellie have fun at the Sunday School Fun Fair! Josh taught Ellie how to fish and she was so happy with her prize of new sunglasses! Afterward we all gathered at Papa's house for spaghetti dinner, which she promptly wore all down her bib. She's almost mastered the 'twirl'.
