Weekending....

I have limited pictures to share with you from our past two weekends.  Let me tell you something. Ella (AND ME) both ended up with the dreaded....head lice.  AARGH. I realized Ella had it as we were getting ready for her to head to school on a typical Friday morning.  Well, nothing about the remainder of that day, that weekend, the following week, the following weekend was typical.  People, that kicked our arses.  The first treatment and comb through of Ella's hair took me from about 9:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.  It was insane.  And poor Ella was so sad.  I wanted to cry too, believe me.  Oh, I guess I did....on Saturday morning when we realized I had it too.  Man, what a chore it has been.  But, we have been super diligent and combing hair like a BOSS.  I think friends that we have done it.  We will be relieved when this is through.

Ella was able to sing with the church kiddos last Sunday. 

This Little Light of Mine has been stuck in my head ever since! They did a great job. 

See her?  :) 

My dad was in the Cities for the weekend, so he and Cheryl came to church and then we had lunch and went to Bachman's.  Fun little Sunday.  Ella got a spring bloom plant which has been really fun to watch how much it is blooming each day....

Also, I just wanted to remember a few random funny things from Ella so I'm putting them here:

This note is now on Ella's bedroom door.  Not sure why I have been excluded from the "cheer room" but LOL at the P.S. note

And, Ella wrote herself a note that stayed on the kitchen table all weekend to "reNember to bring pillow for dear on Monday - its GONA be fun"  She is awesome!

Weekend Update [late!]...

What's up?!?  A few details from our President's Day weekend....

Saturday morning we drove to Eagan to get some donuts at a place we've been meaning to try for a while now!  Puffy Cream Donuts.  Located in an unassuming strip mall in Eagan.  These are real deal donuts.  Not grocery store boring donuts.  They were delicious!!  Bonus - we each got a free donut hole in our respective donut bag.  YUM!

p.s. we have since gone again for another round of these yummy weekend breakfast treats!

 Passing time being silly in the truck on the way to breakfast....

Later in the day, we headed out to do some shopping for a new kitchen table.  World, why is it so hard to find a table?  I've been looking forever it seems and still can't find quite the right one....but this one was gorgeous.  Too bad it was a bit too expensive.

Saturday night we watched the movie BFG.  SO good!  All of us really liked it.  Highly recommend.  Ella and I are going to read the book too.

Sunday was another beautiful spring-like day, so we headed out on a walk!

Someday we will master the art of taking a selfie.  HA!  Jay was like a block ahead of us at this point so he's not in the picture.  He ALWAYS walks in front of us.  Rude!  :)

Monday was President's Day so there was no school.  Ella and I hung out and got some stuff done around the house.  We had a fun lunch at Culver's as part of a school fundraiser and then we made a presidential craft, as you do.  :) 

See - it's Abe Lincoln!
