Yay June!!!
Now that is is warm there are so many things that you can do only in the warm (hot) temps like eating banana and chocolate pudding pops with Papoo... In the winter they just don't melt all over the place (like your face) like they do in the summer!!
See... I told you!
Saturday...
We went to Ellie's friend Ellie's brother Sammy's 6th birthday, did you follow that? Anyway, it was a pool party and because of all of the rain that we have had the Saturday morning sky wasn't looking too promising. Luckily any rain finally went on its way but it was still cool. The pools were heated and the kids loved running from the splash pads to the pool. Lots of fun was had by all!
Ellie and Ellie playing on the splash pad. Talk about little girls squealing!! Eeeee!!!
Ellie running in circles.
Back to the pool to warm up!
Hurray! The third Musketeer made it... Its Joelle!
Again, running back and forth!
Here they are, the Three Musketeers... Joelle, Ellie, and Ellie. Or maybe they are like the brothers from The Bob Newheart Show? You know, Larry, Darryl, and Darryl... Hmm...
Yay! Water fun!!!
Ellie strutting her stuff! Her parents will have their hands full during the teenage years!
Noodle for the Noodle Head!
Snack time.
Getting ready for lunch... Pizza and ice cream cake, yummy! Only Ellie doesn't like pizza, unless it is pepperoni then she picks all of them off and leaves the pizza!
Debating lunch.
After she opened her goodie bag she HAD to try on her new set of pearly whites!
On the way home from the party we stopped at a farm and picked up some asparagus, corn on the cob, and peas. Saturday afternoon we shelled the peas and found out that Schatzie was quite a fan! I snapped a few and gave them to Schatzie and she would pop them with her teeth, eat all of the peas, and spit the shells on the ground... Now that is talent!
Ellie thought that Schatzie's trick was fantastic so she kept handing over peas to her. If you enlarge this picture you can see that the dog has a half a pea pod (w/ peas) hanging out of her mouth!
Ellie helping me shell the peas.
Time to check out the garden!
We have a baby tomato!!!
And everything else in the garden is growing so well!!
Sunday...
After church Ellie wanted me to take pictures of her...
Jumping over the grass!
And with her beautiful smile!
After church we went home, changed, and went to the Charles Village Festival.
If you look closely you will notice that she has two different shoes on... 1 red croc and 1 white sandal. That was on purpose! She got a boo-boo on her big toe the day before, she caught it in the bottom of a door, don't worry, she is fine! But being the drama queen that she is she was unable to wear her other white sandal because it hurt and she wanted to wear her crocs, but she wouldn't wear both! You see, the white sandal hurts her boo-boo but matches her dress and the red croc doesn't hurt her boo-boo. See, I told you, it is very simple... If you can't be 100% fashionable then you can at least put your best foot forward! And lets face it, this wasn't a battle I wanted to fight and yes, everyone noticed!
At the playground at Wyman Park.
Ellie hoopin' it up... She is getting much better at it! And sometimes if you watch close, she even gets the tongue going with her hips... priceless!
You will notice the guy behind her on the pedestal hoola-hooping... Well, this was the 8th straight hour he had been doing it (with a few minute break every hour) and it was only about noon! Wow!
My hoop is bigger than your hoop!
There she goes again!
Doing some arts and crafts while we wait for face painting.
Ellie and I at the Charles Village Festival.
Getting her face painted... a pink and purple butterfly, of course! She was very patient and still... the face painter really appreciated that!
Beautiful! And no, not all of the paint came off in the tub that night so she ended up going to school Monday morning with pink lines on her face!
Practicing her skills at the ring toss... 2 out of 6 ain't bad for her first time!
The bean bag toss was next... 3 out of 5! Way to go!!
Bouncing in the moon bounce!
She is almost flying!
Weeeee!!!
Walking back to the car around the park.
Near the Baltimore Meuseum of Art (BMA) we saw this mobile piece of artwork.
Very interesting! And in case you are waondering... Yes, that is someone's car that they drive!
Ellie taking a breather on the wall to the park.
And sticking her tongue out at me!! You Noodle Head!
Having a cheese stick as a snack before swimming.
Playing with the blowhole of her whale pool before she actually gets wet. The water was really cold on Sunday!
Splash!
She has that "I'm up to something" look in her eye. I think my legs are getting ready for a splash!
Having fun in the pool!
There is that 'look' again!
Goggles are on!
And now they are on and she is ready to go!
Hoola hooping in the pool... Why not??
Water down her pants... Cheap excitement!
Oh wait, there were cars in that bucket too!! Silly Ellie!!!
