Ell-isms

This morning Ell bumped her elbow on the counter... "OUCH!" "Kiddo, you just cracked your elbow." "No I didn't. I hit here." pointing to her elbow. Not wanting to have the battle, I just let it go.
5 minutes later... "Mama, what did the cow say to the chicken?" "I don't know, what?" "I just passed gas on your head! Bahahaha!!!! I told you I didn't break my funny bone, it still works!" :)

Early October NC Visit

Ell and I ventured to NC for a birthday/ alumni weekend visit. We had beautiful weather and fantastic company all weekend.

And since the weather was so nice and so were Grandma's neighbors we were able to spend LOTS of time on the trampoline!!

For HPU's Alumni Weekend we all got to see the new Phi Mu house on Greek Row. The only word I have to say is... WOW!
We also celebrated Ell's Big 6 Birthday while we were down here... Pizza and ice cream, what more could a girl ask for?? Oh, that's right, presents! Don't worry, she got plenty of those too!!
Build your own sundaes... YUM!
