Happy Halloween

Rabbits Everywhere

Rabbits, rabbits, and more rabbits, we can’t get enough.  Ellie no longer has to go on morning rabbit hunts or rabbit poo spotting down our paddock.  She now has two of her own. (They are actually Victoria’s rabbits, but Ellie thinks there hers.)  They are both girls and their names are Honey and Cola.  Ellie likes to be in the rabbit run with them and goes out every night to help feed them.

Water and Spike

We have been trying to teach Spike not to jump up on the kitchen counters.  Ellie has joined in on the fun and gets excited when she sees the cat being naughty.  She will grab the spray bottle and proceed to squirt the cat.

Tractor Driving

Ellie is now big enough to get on the tractor (mower) by herself.  She knows where the key is to start it or turn it off.  Don’t worry; it takes more than just the key to start it. When she wants a ride, she will yell for me and say “Daddy, made room”

Reading Sheep

Ellie enjoys reading books.  She normally shares them with her dolls and other stuffed animals.  But today was different.  After a family outing to the library, where Ellie borrowed a children’s story about sheep, she got out of the car and took the sheep book over to the fence to read it to the sheep.  It was very cute to see her turning the pages and holding the book up for all the sheep to see.

Swinging

“Go Higher” That is all we hear from Ellie when she is on the swings.  She is slowly learning how to use her legs to make her swing “like the big girls”, but would much rather Mummy or Daddy to push her.  She is also swinging very high laying on her tummy, which even scares me at times.

Rain is Coming

It has been raining a lot lately and Ellie knows we can all go outside and play in-between rain showers.    She is learning to watch for the next storm and says “rain is coming”.  Then we either hide under the tree or run to the carport.
