Girls Weekend

Daddy left early Friday morning for a weekend of racing with Uncle Matt and some of their friends. Not being the racing type, Ella and I stayed home for a girls weekend. We had so much fun doing what girls do best...shopping!! We also spent a little time outdoors playing and gardening. We went shopping on Friday to cash in our "Gym Bucks" at Gymboree. We found lots of cute clothes and found Ella a Christmas dress (can you believe that in less than 2.5 months it will be Christmas?). They give you a little incentive to come back to the store and then they have lots of cute things that are hard to resist! They definately got me this time!

On Saturday, we left out early for The Little Gym. Ella enjoyed class and showed off her flip to everyone. Ella also learned to walk on the balance beam. She wasn't so sure of herself at first but quickly figured out how to balance herself. She did much better than I could on the beam! After class, we spent the rest of the day planting flowers and decorating for fall. Ella likes picking flowers so I had to work fast to keep her from plucking off all of my blooms :) I lost one mum because she got to it before I did! I confirmed that Ella is definately a prissy girl because when she got dirt on her hands she immediately wanted it off. Just like her Mommy!! I will take pictures of our flowers we planted and post those later in the week.

Here are some pictures I took this weekend of Ella with some of our fall decorations...
