December 1-15 Outfits

Picasa has been awful at making collages. It fails more than half the time. When I finally get one created, then sometimes it won't save after I add the dates. And if it fails, it will fail that entire day instead of working right after. So I have had December outfits cropped for awhile finally after 3 weeks I got enough collages made for the December 1-15 outfits.

I left the house on numerous days that I don't have pictures for.

 The purple shirt is new. I wish it flared out down lower but it is still pretty nice.

 I was all dressed up on 12/12 for Dave's work Christmas Party.

I wore leggings and a tunic for the first time. Well I did once or so with maternity clothes but it was hard to find tunics then too. I have had issues finding both tunics and leggings. I want more leggings too. I also have to wear these with boots since they are pretty short.

I was dressed up on 12/15 for pictures I made our family take for our Christmas Cards!

I actually wore a wide variety of things. Only some of my "outfits" are workout clothes.

 How many faces can she wear at once!?

 I was showing Ella pictures of family members to try to get her used to them.

Ella really likes Poly. The feelings are not mutual but sometimes Poly puts up with the tight hugs for a minute or so before she runs off.

 We are heading into preschool.

Ella is working on her art project at school. She loves painting.

 Ella was building maybe for the first time.

Logan shared her broccoli at the end of snack time. I was very curious about it because Ella would never eat broccoli before. I forget if it was some sort of greek yogurt or what on it. But I bet that's what made her eat it.

 Then leaving school. Ella and Logan held hands. (See video at the end for a post)

 Preschool was so tiring that she fell asleep on the way home.

 Ella works on putting on her PJs.

But then she puts on my shoes!

Here's a video of Ella and Logan holding hands leaving preschool. This was not prompted at all. They just did it.

10.7.15

I did a tough run of half mile repeats.

 Ella had gymnastics.

 After gymnastics we went right to the park.

 I leave Ella alone for a couple seconds and come back to this.

Then she was yelling it was in her eyes. She was not a happy camper. We had to do a bath then finish eating.

I got so distracted during this that we were late getting to Divya's for a play date.

 Marie and Clara were there too. Arya was there but isn't pictured here.

Ella asked to use the potty once and realized she got to go upstairs and then it was a non stop battle with her running up the stairs.

Here's Poly. I often take 1-2 pictures of her in a day but forget to include them on here. I usually only post 10% or less of the pictures I take so Poly doesn't make the cut. Poor Poly.

12.31.15 Park Video

I combined this video since I know Ella loves videos. Well she was crying yesterday for Gio and we ended up watching this about 15 times straight. She watched the version on my phone without the music.

It was actually pretty cold. It doesn't look cold based on Ella's clothes. She picked them out herself. The cardigan is an old cropped cardigan of mine!

Googleween (10.28.15)

Googleween was from 3-5:20.   Dave had a meeting from 3-3:30 and had to get from his building to the event.  Ella and got there near 3:50 but she fell asleep on the way. We walked around maybe a half hour before Ella woke up. We got some food. I said we should get some for Ella. I got a little for her but meant/wanted to get more.

It was so packed. I couldn't believe Ella slept through it.

Finally she woke up. Lines were long. They were out of food. Ella wanted snacks, too.

We decided the lines were way too long for the bounce houses plus she would get killed in there with the bigger kids.

She wanted to do some treasure hunting even though Dave said she was too little.  We waited in line for that. She did alright but I had to help. She also tried to eat the other stuff that the white balls were hidden in.

She did some coloring but then didn't want to finish. We took it home to do later. One was a paddle ball thing, one was a bird on a stick, and one was a treasure map.

Ella enjoyed the live music best. She watched it for awhile. Then she stood there and danced. She danced and jumped around for awhile. The music stopped at 5:25 and then Ella dropped to the ground and cried.  She was very upset it was over.

We had to walk home. That took awhile. It took a little bit to even get out of the park and then onto the trail to walk home. We also had to take a break at the school for Dave to rest.  Ella didn't want to ride in the stroller but then she wouldn't hold my hand either.  Then I remembered I had a cake pop for her. I gave her that. She loved it and was content the entire way home.
