pretty, happy, funny, real

IMG_8896-3

Joining the girls for another week of pretty, happy, funny, real.  This is Ella last year on a trip to Bowmanville.  Grandma sacrificed some yarn and Ella was 'knitting' with her crayons.  I'm amazed at how correct her hands look.  I was hoping to teach Ella to knit before our next Bowmanville trip, but Easter sneaked up on me.  I'll have to teach her soon.  Maybe it will cut down on all the 'are we there yet'.  Before Ella it was a 4 hour trip, now it's at least 5 and seems much longer some days.  I'm in no hurry for Ella to grow up, and some days wish she would slow down, but I will be glad when she's old enough to entertain herself in the car for longer periods.

Portable DVD player.... I know you probably can't believe that we would stoop to that level, but we have...

Ella's had the dvd player for a couple years now. The trip would be a nightmare without it. I don't know what parent's did before they were invented.

Yeah, wish we would have had portable DVD players "back when", when I was raising my daughter....would have come in handy on those long fishing trips up to Rice Lake! We just took lots of toys and books, and she loved her stuffed animals! They were like the siblings she didn't have back then! I usually treated her to a few new toys, to hold her interest.
Have a Happy Easter, Paula! My daughter and family are up in Canada spending the holiday with "his" family. :(
