Getting Ready for Halloween

Not too much of an exciting weekend. Daddy barbecued last night, and we watched the debachery of a football game, also known as LSU getting their butts whipped by Florida. Today, Ella and I just hung out while Daddy went biking in Waco with his friends. He's getting ready for his big 24-hour bike race next weekend at Rocky Hill. I hope his distraction with Ella hasn't cut too much into his bike training!!

Meanwhile, I broke out the old jumperoo. I know she's a little young for it yet, but she was getting bored with the bouncer and the swing, so I thought I'd try it out. She liked it!! She loved looking around at all the exciting things going on around her. She couldn't quite touch the ground, so I improvised with a few phonebooks (I know those things are good for something - thanks, Pen!). Don't you love that one look she's giving you? It's my favorite....its like she's almost giving you "the eyebrow," like "what you talkin' bout, Willlis?" Ha ha.

In the afternoon, we took a few pics in the backyard in her Halloween costume. Ella's been practicing with Daddy on how to carry her pumpkin and beg for candy with those big blue eyes! She's a natural.

Tomorrow its back to daycare while I get some stuff done in my classroom. No school tomorrow (yay!), but I have lots to set up and catch up on. Woohoo!

Love, Mama Gelle
