Weekending....

Hi!  Back to a seemingly normal routine here (hurray!)  Yesterday Jay & I spent the WINDY day driving all around the Richfield/Bloomington car dealerships searching for something new for me.  We came home empty handed, BUT we got to grab lunch at the Chick-Fil-A in Richfield, which just opened on Thursday along with it's sister location in Apple Valley.  So good.  Can't wait to go back! 

And, today, we made it to church & Sunday school, and since the sun was shining afterwards, we got a few things taken care of outside to check off the good ol' list, and then Ella FINALLY got to spend some time in the LEAVES!




Love her to pieces!

Oh where have we been!??!

I started a post maybe 2 weeks ago now?  We've just been S.I.C.K. in our house, so those words are irrelevant and MUCH too late at this point.  So, let's just have a picture recap shall we?

Bring a friend to dance night - oh probably a month ago now!  They had a BLAST!

We did in fact get those Halloween pumpkins painted before all hell broke loose (no pun intended) at our house.  Pictures are courtesy of the cell phone, so not fabulous, but so it goes.


 The Minion pumpkin painted by Jay

The Curious George pumpkin I painted
 The Dora pumpkin Ella & I painted
 And Ella insisted that the last pumpkin had to be painted too (I was intending to leave it alone)  
But, of course she chose pink & yellow (these are her FAVORITE colors)

Our Doc McStuffins made it out for the Halloween Walk on the Friday before Halloween at the middle school.  I was sick so couldn't be there, but she had a good time I think


 See the treat bag I made?  Ella REALLY wanted her treat bag to be like Doc's doctor kit.
I think it turned out pretty cute - wish I would have lined the inside purple though!!

A few Sundays ago, Ella's Sunday School group sang during the Church service, she did great! 
LOVES to sing

And last week, parents were invited to watch the girls perform their "Spooky Dance" they've been working on at dance class. It was pretty hilarious.  They've got some work to do, but it was really fun and we're so glad Ella is liking it! She adores Ms. Nina and always has the hugest smile plastered on her face during class!

A few more Ella pics from Kinder Kollege





And, last, I have to share this little video of Ms. Ella from a few weeks ago!
(don't mind my terrible video taking skills)



And now it's November.  October went scary fast.  HA!
