Daddy Daughter Date Night

Tonight was Daddy Daughter Date Night at Chick-Fil-A. It was a great night for Ella to try Chick-Fil-A for the first time. I just hope she doesn't think every trip to Chick-Fil-A will be like this one.

When we got there, they had rolled out the red carpet. The Chick-Fil-A cow was there to give Ella a flower.

When we were seated, Ella was very impressed with the entertainment for the night.



Saving the best for last, we got to take a limo ride after dinner!



As you can see, we had a great time at Daddy Daughter Date Night!

Closing in a week!!!

They put in the landscaping today! So Jim will once again have grass to mow and shrubs to trim! He has so missed it ;) We also snooped inside and the paper was off the hardwoods, so we were able to finally see it all! So cool!!! It was also much safer without paper to trip over, so the girls had a little more freedom in the house. They had a great time running around like goobers!

Trick or Treating

Tonight we went Trick or Treating in our new neighborhood. The concept finally clicked for Ella this year. She meant business running from house to house. The girls have a ton of candy! Here's some photos and a video from the night.

Christenbury Fall Festival

We kicked off Halloween weekend this morning with a trip to the Christenbury Fall Festival with the Barnett's. The kids got in their costumes and had a blast. Ella, Savannah, and Gage all took a few swings at the pinata with Lily there cheering them on!

1st Visit to Discovery Place KIDS

Oh my goodness this place is amazing and SO close to our house! School was out today, so it was pretty little crowded and nuts. Plus we had to do just a short trip because we needed to get home for lunch and nap, but we still had a wonderful time. It was a little harder to take pictures since it was just us and they wanted to go and see everything. We didn't see everything, but what we saw was WOW!!! Sorry the quality isn't so great...

Ella's Harvest Party

Ella's class had their Harvest Party (secret code name for Halloween Party) today. Families were invited, so Lily and I along with a ton of other moms and a thousand siblings showed up since public schools had half day. Ella was so surprised that we showed up at lunch, and promptly told us we were supposed to come for the party not lunch ;) Then she explained to us who every mom was and told us who they belonged to. Which was especially hilarious because she was "whispering," but was not at all whispering. At the end there is a picture of Ella with a little girl and a little boy. The little girl is Ella's favorite little girl friend, Audrey. They are very similar and I'm sure constantly up to something silly. The little boy, Jackson, is a nut. I love this kid, he is hilarious and really drawn to Ella. He is constantly chasing her outside and so sweet to Lily. I wish I would have taken more pictures of her friends, but I was holding Lily most of the party to keep her from climbing and standing on every chair ;) She tested out almost every chair.
