Mid-April Fun

So many things to do in April but we have had a very wet spring! Last weekend we ventured over to Ms. Cathy and Joelle's house to dye Easter eggs. It was some messy fun!
Lots of messy fun!

Ellie Story: The other night Ell was getting ready for her bath and when she got off the toilet (with not a stitch of clothing on) she stuck the end of a long piece of toilet paper in her hiney and wagged her bum and said, "Look Mama, I've got a tail. hahahaha!!"
What am I going to do with her?!

Saturday we had terrible rain and storms! Ms. Cathy, Joelle, Ell, and I met for lunch at Chick-fil-A and then headed to the movies. We tried to see HOP but I think everyone in the state of MD had the same idea that we had... Go to the movies! Anyway, HOP was sold out and instead (and lucky for us) Rio 3D had just come out AND there were tickets still available.
Rio was awesome! I really don't know who liked the movie more the adults or the kids!

Ellie Story: The other day she came home from school and was telling me about her day and how she and her buddy, Ethan, were sitting down and decided to try on each other's shoes. Then she tells me that she smelled Ethan's feet because "he wanted me to".
All I can hope is that this game of "You Can Smell Mine If I Can Smell Yours" is not the pre-courser to "I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours"... Yikes!

Sunday was not only my first mud run but my first 5k. Yikes! Here is our group before the race. If you don't know, a mud run is exactly what it sounds like it is... mud and running. However, it also has obsticals like trenches, hills, jumps, and walls. It was a blast!
The first set of pits... don't even try to stay clean!
Taking a bit of a breather.
And yay! I did it! I didn't run the whole thing but I made good time and I completed the entire course. Not to pat myself on the back or anything but I am pretty darn proud of myself! When Ell saw the pictures she said one thing... Mommy, you are gross! You need a shower!

Today's Ellie-ism: You need to shake your booty at least one time every day!
