If I only had a Brain

Yesterday, Ellie reminded me why I started blogging in the first place.
Anyone that knows Ellie, knows that she has spunk, some might call it an attitude.  Yesterday, she and Paul were watching a video and up on the screen came a picture of the brain.  Paul tried to explain to Ellie what it was and then asked her if she had a brain.  Quite angrily, Ellie replied, "I don't have a brain!" 

Oh Bugs!  Thanks for the good belly laugh.

My Snuggly Bugs

Oh my buggies, she comes alive at bedtime.  She wants one more hug, one more kiss, one more drink, one more bathroom break, one more story, one more something.  With all of her late night activities, it is one wonder that she needs to sneak in a little cat nap during the day.  I found her post-dance session stretched out on the living room floor.  She is wearing her favorite outfit, her princess swimsuit. 

Those sweet eyes and that hidden ornery smile melt my heart every time.

Vamonos!

Diego and Dora (or Backpack, as Erica called her) have always been popular in this house.  We were beyond excited when their exhibit open at The Children's Museum.  We woke up early one weekend morning to be one of the first to arrive at the museum.  Enjoy some of our memories.  This exhibit is one of our favorites.

Ellie planted some flowers in Isa's garden.

Ethan disguised himself as a lady bug.

Erica and Ellie caught a ride from Baby Jaguar.

She was sailing the seas with the Pirate Piggies.

Erica was swinging through the trees in the rainforest.
