It's hard to believe that a week ago we were wearing this...
And today it's 75 degrees and we're wearing this....
It's beautiful here this weekend. We had to make another trip to the playground. The nice weather is just another excuse for Ella to wear her sunglasses. She loves them! Chris has nicknamed her Hollywood because she wears them so much.
Chris has invented a new game that has now become a nightly ritual at our house. Actually, my mom came up with the idea but Chris has just named it, Who Wants to Be a Flashcard Millionaire. We lay a bunch of Ella's flashcards out in front of her and then ask her a question about one of them in the hopes that she can locate the correct one. It goes something like this...Chris will announce, "Who wants to be a flashcard millionaire." He's no Regis Philbin but he'll at least hum the dramatic music which I find to be rather entertaining. We'll then ask a question like, "Which animal likes to eat carrots" Ella will look around and sure enough, she'll find the bunny rabbit card. Unfortunately, there's no polling the audience. I don't think her babies or Cooper would be that much of a help. And there's no phone-a-friend. I suppose she could call Mimi and Papa since she thinks it's them every time the phone rings. Although, I don't think she needs the help. She's actually really good at it.
A couple of more picture of the girls enjoying the nice weather before it gets cold again.

Ella is such a superstar! Love that last picture of the two girls. That grin on Ella's face is priceless. Now did Maddie actually go down the slide? She looks kind of hesitant! :D
She actually did go down the slide a couple of times. She was getting so excited and she would start to bounce up and down and before we knew it, she was going down the slide.
As a teacher, I must say that I am a supporter of your Flashcard Millionaire game. :)
