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.

New Closing Date

Yes that countdown is right! Our closing date has changed! The previous closing date had us closing on a Friday. Our movers would not be able to come until Monday, unless we wanted to pay for the ridiculous overtime. With Veterens Day that week it was going to be tricky, luckily the closing was flexible and we are now moved up to November 10th!!!

Airport Open House

Today we went to the open house at the Concord Regional Airport. They had some really cool planes there, and Ella got to sit in a helicopter with her friend Savannah! Lily and Gage also had a good time running around the runway.

Hardwood Floors!!!

Went by the house yesterday morning to take a few pictures. I was completely shocked they were installing hardwoods. Of course when we got there they were all covered, including the vents which poor Ella fell into :( Luckily she was okay, just scared of our house now and falling through the floor. So we may not be able to talk her into visiting for awhile. Here are a few pictures of the hardwoods, along with a few things recently fixed or new! Carpets are also coming in this week, so we'll try to make another stop by.
