The Last Weekend in March
This was a lower key weekend than most of our more recent ones but the week as a whole was quite eventful. On Monday P.D. went to doggie heaven. Ellie is taking it pretty well, every once in a while she will ask where he is or tell me that she misses him but all in all she is adjusting very well. I am proud of her!
Wednesday, Opa and Uncle Steven came to Baltimore to visit and Ellie and I played from school/ work. We had a fantastic visit and a great time at the Inner Harbor.
Thursday evening we had a knotty hair and Ellie finally gave in to getting a haircut. Actually, she wanted on right then but we compromised on Friday after school. So after work and school we drove to the kid's salon and had her first real haircut!
This weekend was rainy (for the most part) so after dance we went to the pancake store then to the big playground (aka: Port Discovery) for the afternoon. Sunday, the weather finally broke in the afternoon so we went out to wash the car... What else is there to do on a 73 degree, sunny afternoon? And go figure, as we were rinsing the wheels off and putting the bucket away it started raining! Oh well!
Ellie is stretching up tall to reach as high as she can.
Scrub it good!
I think this was her favorite part... playing with the hose!
Putting her to work... she has to earn her keep somehow! Those big brown eyes will only get her so far in this house! :-)
At Port Discovery riding on the horse, "Hee-haw!!!"
Snacks before we head home from the big playground.
Pretty girl at the pancake store!
Sippin' on her oj and looking cute!
This is where the magic happened!
The inside...
Ell all dried after bath that night.

Two styling braids after her cut.
Post cut and pre-braids.
Not looking so happy during the cut but don't let that look fool you, she did great. No complaints! She just sat there and watched part of a movie while the stylist worked her magic!
The first cut...
Before we began.
Her hair before the cut... Get ready to say good bye to a couple inches! When it is wet it goes most of the way down her back!
Waiting her turn and playing with the trains.
