Sorry

I apologize to our blog visitors for not having posted in quite some time...I have gotten a few complaints! The reason I haven't posted is because we haven't done anything fun lately, Ella Ann hasn't done anything that is worthy of being photographed, I have been really busy with work, and our computer crashed last week so I couldn't upload any pictures.

I will post some pictures tomorrow because we are going to a friend's house for lunch. Until then, I'll just update you on what we have been doing lately. Ella Ann has been just fine and has been my little shadow...as usual! We finished our Music Class sessions yesterday, but we are going to start going to a toddler music class that a girl that used to attend our church is starting at the church she currently goes to, which just so happens to be within walking distance from our home! It's also half the price, 1 class longer, and Jana and Mara Kate will be there! We are looking forward to it! We have had our friends over to play a few times over the past week, which has been fun. We bought Ella Ann a train set at IKEA last week and she is obsessed with it. It's such a basic toy with no bells and whistles, so Spencer and I are loving that! I also went out and bought her a CD player to keep in her room because we are beyond sick of listening to her music over our laptop or TV! Let me tell you that was the best $20 I've ever spent! She asks to listen to her music from the minute she wakes up (it's usually on before 7:30 a.m.) and plays throughout the day while we are at home. She will sit in her room and entertain herself for over an hour when that music is playing! We got her 2 Veggie Tales CDs and she refuses to listen to anything else! She has become a Veggie Tales fanatic for sure and her favorite character is Pa Grape because she has a book about him that I bought for a quarter at a consignment store! The book goes with us on many errands and outings because she always asks for Pa Grape!

I have also been busy getting Ella Ann enrolled in a preschool. I am going to spare ya'll the entire preschool drama that I encurred and will make a very long story short and say that she is enrolled in a preschool but I may switch her to another school depending on several factors...that I also won't get into. I'm just happy she's at least going to go!

So after my preschool drama on Tuesday, our computer crashed as I sat down to do the ton of work for my job on Wednesday during Ella Ann's nap! Fortunately, it was just full of viruses and The Geek Squad was able to get rid of them and all our stuff was saved.

The excitement of the week so far was Ella Ann pooping in her panties last night 2 seconds after I lifted her off the potty then she pooped in the bathtub (she has never done that before) after I had just filled it with water and toys. I then had to take her and all the toys out, sanitize the bathtub and draw the bath again and fill it with more toys only to have her poop in the bathtub once again!! All this while Spencer was at work! It was beyond disgusting!

Ella Ann has been cracking us up with the funny things she says nearly every day! The other day I was answering a question she asked me as I was swallowing my yogurt so she told me, "Don't talk with your mouth full, Mommy." Boy does she know how to turn the tables! The other night she ran into my bathroom as I was washing my face and said, "Mommy Katie!!! Come play with me!" She then turned to Spencer and says, "You're Daddy Spencer!" I guess Spencer and I are going to have to start calling each other Mommy and Daddy, which we can't stand! :)

Well, that's really about it! Sorry, kinda boring! I promise to be much better in the next few days and post some pictures!
