Neighborhood Kids

Ellie and Jake

Ansleigh, Grace, Will, Ellie and Jake

The pictures are from my cell phone, so they are not the best.

All of the kids in the neighborhood are in love with her car. That's the first thing they ask about when they come over to play.

We always have kids somewhere in our yard. I cant even begin to tell you how many kids live on our street. It is so great! We have four to one side, two on the other side of them, 2 on our other side, triplets beside them....I think you get the picture. The house across the street from us in under contract. The people that are moving in have four kids. I love coming home and seeing all of the kids in the neighborhood out playing.

Ellie has also been acting a lot better since we moved. She used to throw tantrums pretty regularly. I never thought that they might be out of boredom. She hardly ever throws them now. They usually come when we have to go inside. She is a lot better if she sees that everyone is going inside and not just her.

Cute moments by Ellie:

Last night I was giving Ellie a shower. Our shower has two sides that are glass. She draws on them. She said something about drawing a 0. I told her to draw a 0. She did. I said okay, draw 1 now. She drew a 1. I then asked her to draw a 2. She drew II. Not what I was thinking, but she did draw 2 just in roman numerals!

This morning on the way to school Ellie asked that I pick her up. I don't mind picking her up, but I get home later than Christian. I was trying to explain to her that if Daddy picked her up, she would get a lot more outside time. She looked at me and said, "mommy, we have to take turns!!"

I hope to post Halloween pics soon. My SIL, took the pictures while I pulled the wagon!! Talk about a workout!!!
