Mardi Gras Fun at Mommy's School!!

This is our Fun afternoon of making cupcakes for the World Language Club Mardi Gras fundraiser. Ella helped and got to eat cupcakes too!! Except that she snuck lots of them!! And of course got a belly ache! All the girls love her, of course, and doted over her the whole time! Karen was even working on pillow cases for a hospital and showed Ella how a sewing machine works! Daddy would be proud of her and how willing she is to try everything!! Our girl is growing up so quickly!!

Our Fun, Long Day at Chuck E.Cheese!!

We went to a friend's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese!! Mommy was amazed at how much Ella has grown since the last time we went to Chuck E Cheese...last time Ella changed her mind going into the play tunnels and only rode the tiny kiddie roller coaster. This time she rode the BIG kid roller coaster and had a blast in the tunnels way up high. There were extra tokens so we played hard...for 4 hours! Yes, 4 hours!! It was a very long day but we did have a lot of fun!! We even made lots of new friends in sharing rides as lots of the rides are 2 seaters. No sense in wasting a free ride for a friend, right! How fun! All during the week Ella went to school with me to decorate with kids for Courtwarming. They are crazy about her! Friday, I went out with my friend Katie and Ella stayed home with one of my students and had a great time...of course she let watched High School Musical with her so they were pals!! Then Saturday I was signed up for the Courtwarming dance and took Ella along as my fellow "supervisor". We stayed up VERY late as she danced as long as she physically could! We didn't take a camera so I am getting together pics from my kids so I can share them. She looked beautiful and had so much fun. Then of course Sunday was the marathon visit to Chuck E Cheese!What a weekend!!! Enjoy the pics and video!!!

Ella in action!!

Ella is very busy with her dance class! She loves to go and is starting to take to it. It's hard because the other kids have been doing it a lot longer. We wanted Daddy (and everyone else) to see her in action!! Enjoy!!

Chicken Pox for Jenn!!

This doesn't even begin to show how miserable this week has been!! I have the chicken pox AGAIN at 32 for the 3rd time! This pic doesn't show the extent but you get the idea! Ella has had 3 fevers in 1 day but only has a few irritated spots but not broke out. Wondering if she is going to!

We've gotten lots of Mommy & Me time and have made the best of it with lots of talking and giggling and stories. But A LOT of sleeping. It is taking it out of both of us! Ready to go back to work...did I really say that? :)
