So what will we be for Halloween?

The lastest discussion/obsession in our house is what will we be for Halloween...Winnie is pretty much set on Cinderella although she did change it to Dora on Thursday....but only for an hour or so. Ellie is a different story - she started with Diego, then went to Ariel (really Winnie's suggestion), then Sleeping Beauty (again, Winnie) and then the latest is Cinderella like her sister. Which surprisingly Winnie is fine with. So who knows...as Derek says we'll wait till the last minute for Ellie's costume. She's not as in to dress-up as Winnie is....the attached photo is her latest favorite dress to throw on - she calls herself a princess. I think she looks like a 1950's cocktail party hostesss.

It's been a while

Wow - didn't realize it's been over 2 weeks since our last post...just goes to show how exciting our lives really are. We had a good weekend celebrating Derek and Jody's birthdays - Winnie and Ellie LOVED having Jody, Josie and PopPop visit for 3 1/2 days. They love an audience and any opportunity to show off. Winnie is talking up a storm (latest favorite sayings are "wait a second guys" and "I have an idea") and Ellie is doing a bit more singing these days (Old McDonald and When The Saints Come Marching In are current faves).

Elmo and Friends made an appearance on Ft. Bragg tonight thanks to the USO so of course Winnie and Ellie went to see their friend Elmo. Ellie LOVED it and Winnie...not so much. She's not a fan of characters coming to life so a full sized Elmo, Cookie Monster, Rosita, Grover and Zoe was a little too much for her to deal with. After stating a few times that she wanted to go home, Derek took her outside for a walk where she kept saying "Mommy Ellie watch Sesame Street, but I don't want to". But she was perfectly content with her Daddy time. Disney and Sesame Place will have to wait a while for these girls.
