Fashionable Gunslinger


I took this picture a few weeks ago, when Papa stopped by with a present for Ella. I am not sure how I feel about my daughter playing with a toy gun, allthough Michael was very impressed and even went out and bought some caps for it. I thought I might use this photo to blog about gun control, but this is supposed to be about Ella, so I will just say... Only my daughter would be playing shoot'em up wearing dress-up heels and a mini skirt.

Harvest Festival and Other Weekend Activities

This weekend was the Annual Harvest Festival in Uhland. Ella is just the right age to participate in the activities. The duck pond, cakewalk and ring toss were big hits, but for some reason she was afraid of the fishing for prizes. I guess the large sheet that you toss the clothes pin "hook" over was casting some weird shadows.

We also celebrated Mom's (grandma's) birthday Friday evening. When Michael and I asked Ella what she would like to get Grandma for her Birthday, she quickly recommended a puppy and then as an afterthought decided Grandma needed some "Choc'late" milk as well. So we went shopping, and selected a stuffed dachshund wearing a green sweater and a couple of pints of chocolate milk (one for Ella too.)

Ella and my camera spent some time with Grandma, Papa, Amos and Kristen on Sunday evening. I got Ella back safe and sound, but found evidence on my camera that she had been riding around with Amos on the 4-wheeler.

We also had a birthday dinner for all the October Birthday's at Grandma Doris' on Sunday. Grandma Doris set a special table just for Ella. It was very cute, but she still didn't eat.

More Birthdays

As everyone knows one Birthday celebration is simply not enough. We took cupcakes and juice to Ella's class on Monday so they could celebrate her birthday as well. We also had Ella's Favorite dinner on Monday night, Pizza of course, with more cake. Ella has accomplished blowing out the candles and we had to do it multiple times, because it was so much fun. On Wednesday we had a birthday dinner for Amos, with all his favorites, spaghetti and homemade apple pie. Ella was pretty worn out after all of this party hopping as you can tell from the photos. I think she has finally come down from her sugar high, temporarily since Grandma and Papa's birthdays are coming up next week.
