Busy Week!

It's only Wednesday, but we've been getting a lot of things done.

Monday we went over to Nicole's house to paint pumpkins. Ellie was in hog heaven.

Nicole is a former kindergarten teacher, so she knows all the good crafts. And is not afraid of washable paint. I stood as close to Ellie as was required, but ran any time she turned towards me, ha!

Then yesterday after swim class we took Sara back over to Gigi and Grizz's house, and discovered that many of the caterpillars living in Ann's Home for Wayward Bugs had left their chrysalises (chrysali?) and turned into BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES! Gigi was a new mommy all over again! So we took her children outside and sent them on their way.

Ellie was a pretty good butterfly big sister... except when she tried to shake the poor, newly borned butterfly off her hand. Their wings are not finished drying out, kid!

Today was of course, music class. Preceded by some play ground fun with Lexi, of course. Then we had lunch with the ladies, came home to take a nap (supervised by Grizz while I was out running errands) and then we went out to Yorba Linda for a quick visit with Mimi and Pa while I ran a jewelry related errand (and IMPORTANT jewelry related errand, not a superficial one, like I normally do.) Came home and Tim had made us dinner, and she's all curled up now, hopefully catching lots of z's in her new fleecy pajamas. Just in time for it to be 80 degrees again this weekend!
