desk!

 we made some pictures the other day with wooden stencils, ellie did a great job.  joey passed us the colors and then decided to trace her hand...resulting in her coloring her nails. haha

 ellies desk arrived on tuesday and daddy helped (ok did all of it) set it up. the girls wanted to help like always...

 so chris gave joey the job of holding the metal pole. and she did this very seriously for about 5 mins. which is a really long time for joey

 "im helping dad! im a BIG girl"

 ellie joy!

 after her new desk was put together she went and got a chair from nate's room then set up her desk with books, paper, markers, pencils and much to her dismay. no erasers.  i dont have any. ha  i think she might be my studious child.  she loves to learn!

 me on the other hand....i think i might puke when i think about starting school.  i walked out of the room back in june and havent been back.  for real. other than to dump stuff of my desk, the computers been off since june.  i am NOT ready to go back.  i feel like i had such a bad summer, it was not enjoyable, the LAST thing i want to do is get ready for school...esp ellie.  i have hours of work to do....and no pizazz to even want to start. ive decided i need a redo summer!  

 back to ellie, showing me her school stuff. ha

 then she joined me late at night to cuddle it was about 10. an she was still awake!

 i on the other hand was ready for bed. ha
the days are long but the years are quick

the high light of the week was discovering a new splash park about 15 mons from the house with 2 play parks, lots of shade and seating for moms.  it was such an enjoyable afternoon i didnt take one pic!  we met up with friends so the kids played and i was able to have adult chatter...sweet!
