This Week...

We played in the leaves, which consisted mostly of Elle throwing leaves on everyone. Hudson tried, too, but his aim was not so good. Wait until next year, buddy.




Elle was the superstar for the fifth time at school (she is very proud of herself). She works very hard every week to be her very best. Now if she would only do the same thing at home.



Mickey and Minnie (these are the hats we got from Disney on Ice), watched some TV.



Elle had a school presentation on her research project about penguins. Parents were invited to come and watch. Elle did a fantastic job on her part. I was so proud of her. And Hudson loved seeing his sister at the front of the classroom. He kept yelling, “Elle!” at the top of his lungs.



Elle got a new, desperately needed—according to her—Minnie Mouse dress. She begged and begged me to make her a dress, and because my kids know they can run me down, I eventually said yes. I then whipped this dress up (with no pattern mind you), in about forty minutes. Elle loved it and was so happy. I emphasize the was, because she has not worn it since. Good thing it was free.



Hudson found new and very silly ways to play with his beloved vacuum. He found out how silly it can be to put the shop vacuum up to his lips, mouth, and tongue. Very comical. And this kid loves to make others laugh.



What a fun week.
