Hello Up There

At this beach you have to go down some stairs to get to the water.  We were all at the wall watching the boats in the harbor and Ellie wanted to run around.  First she started going up and down the steps, then to the sand and water, and finally to the path on the other side and ran back to us only to do it all over again.

Spin Out Dress

Ellie rates her cloths by how much they will spin out.  She will go through her closet each morning looking for anything that is spinny, preferably something pink.

Praying Mantis

While doing yard work with her grandparents, we found a big praying mantis.  Ellie was in charge of looking after it and gave it a leaf and some water in a shell for it to drink.

Angry birds

Ellie loves Angry birds.  She would squish pigs all day long if she could.  Two days ago they released some new levels for Angry Birds space and I was trying to win the levels to unlock the next one.  A few morning later I told her I had won and unlocked all the new levels.  She said to me “Well done Daddy, Thanks!”

Cooking with Grandma

Ellie is busy in the kitchen helping Grandma crush up cookies for a special cheese cake recipe.  It turned out after all of Ellie’s effort she didn’t like the cheese cake.

Ellie's Song

I’m the queen of the castle
You the dirty rascal

Cooper’s Car Seat

Poor Cooper, he is going to have to share everything.  Here Ellie is preparing her baby for a ride in the car.  At least the doll will be safe!

Grumbly Bear

A Grumbly Bear shows up at the house or in the paddock at times.  This is how Ellie describes him:

Loud Feet   - stomps on roof and can break it
Super black
No hair – lots of hair on his body, none on his head
Tall – can touch the ceiling
Grumbly bear
Scary eyes – then she will do her scary eye’s to show us what they look like

Knock Knock

This is Ellie knock knock joke:

Knock Knock
Who’s here
Everyone in the rubbish bin
Everyone in the rubbish bin, who?
Everyone

She thinks this is so funny and giggles after each line as she is telling it.

Frog

I caught a frog that was hopping around the vegetable garden and brought it up for Ellie and Grandma to see.  Ellie wasn’t afraid of the frog and even touched it (many times).  She said afterward it was sticky.
