Update ;)

I haven't written in a bit...so here we go! What a Labor Day weekend we had at the Bennett house!!! Sounds exciting, huh? Not so much. Unless you are Ella and then you would be super excited. She got her room painted pink this weekend:) She gives a shout out to Daddy for that one;) Mama don't paint. I do however cook frequently and LOVE throwing things away! I have been in crazy psycho organization mode for a few weeks now so watch out!!!The best part was the down time we spent together eating, playing, eating, snuggling and just being together:) The other cool part was when Ella informed me that "Daddy recorded the crocodiles eating the canteloupes!"...that would be antelopes:) I love that kid.

Otherwise things have been a bit ho-hum...which isn't always a bad thing! Getting back in the swing with school, dance, gymnastics etc. is a little tough at first but I thrive on schedules and an orderly life. That makes me feel old saying that and oh how I wish I could have figured that out earlier in life:) Ella just asked me if I thought the prince in Ella Enchanted had a nice butt...really??? From my 5 year old? I asked her where she heard that and she didn't remember. I'm sure it was from overhearing her mommy talking to her daddy;) Oh yeah!!! Her teacher told me today that she overheard a conversation about True Blood and announced that her mommy and daddy watched that show too but she wasn't allowed to...I must be doing something right!!!

I am looking SO forward to fall:) My favorite time of year. Ella's Birthday, our anniversary and Halloween! We are taking Little E to D.C. for her birthday...American Girl, here we come! And I am super excited about the hotel I found in Alexandria. It's the Lorien Hotel and Spa and it is SO cute:)  I'm really looking forward to hanging out in Alexandria:) Then on to Halloween when E will be Wonder Woman! HOLA!!! And Steve and I will once again dress as bacon and eggs. Yep, you heard it here first. We are BIG on breakfast at the Bennett's! At least Steve isn't pushing the "English breakfast" which consist of blood pudding and baked beans. UGHH!!! That would be a significantly harder costume to come up with! Anyway, I'm off to dinner and then give Ella a "medicare" as she calls it. That would be a pedicure. Should I tell her that this medicare will be the only medicare she will ever get??? Oh heck...we won't go there tonight;) Hug your babies and squeeze your peeps! xx
