Apple Picking

We went apple picking a few days ago with the neighborhood gang and had a great time! Elena went on the hayride and wasn't scared at all. There was even a petting zoo, which she loved. She is so interested in animals. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a vet or zoo keeper :o)






No Leni! That one is from the ground!










Yum - Apples...










Hayride time!










Oh yeah... there were pumpkins there too.









Very interested in Mr Duck










Enjoying more apples at home! YUM!

All aboard.... Next stop Toronto, Canada!

This past weekend we were in Toronto for Matthew T.'s baptism. It was really good to see everyone. Elena had the worst tantrum in history right before we got into the car for the 5 hour drive, so we thought we would be toast, but she was a great traveller. She was even better when we were there! We stayed at Mary's cousins house where there was loads of kids and toys to keep her entertained... Worked out perfect...

Thank you for a wonderful welcome guys!

Here is a pic of Elena with Christopher as she was falling out of the car! LOL! Thanks for the pic Z.!

Lookin' Cute and Taking a Stroll...

I am not sure where were we going in this picture. Probably at Elena's BFFs house - Findlay and Elizabeth. Anyways, she is looking darling while sporting her new Hello Kitty vest! We heart Hello Kitty!!!

Bored with Food

The title of this post says it all! She is bored with food. I have cooked so many meals that this girl will not eat that I am sometimes burnt out by it. It was this day that I made that Facebook post about needing some healthy recipes for picky eaters. I didn't get too much help. Although one friend messaged me with a nice recipe that I tried but it was a no-go with Miss Elena.

In this picture she was dining on Broccoli with LOADS of cheese (didnt eat it), Chicken nuggets (had half of one), and ketchup (of course she spooned all that in her mouth and wanted more after!- she is her daddy's daughter that is for sure!)

Still need those recipes, people!

Library Time!

We have been going to the library a lot lately. It'd been great to have Elena go play and socialize with other kids plus make some crafts with out making a mess at home! They read a few books to them do some singing and dancing in between books and then it is playtime after! We have been going to a class with 3 year old mostly (as you can see she looks like such a peanut in these pictures), but it has been working out great. Here are some pics of her having some fun. This is the day they learned about construction and read construction books. She loved it! She had a blast hammering and even made that hat by herself and proudly wore it the whole time.

New kicks!

Bought Elena some trendy new tennis shoes... Her first ever! they are loud sparkly and have a hot pink inside! very cool!!

Library time!

Elena loves the library. New toys lots of books... loads of kids. well today is a quiet one in the library. only one other little girl but they are getting along famously. while she is playing it gives me a chance to catch up with my emails on my Droid (which I am loving by the way). here is a pic from today. don't ask me why she has one shoe on... she can be such a character sometimes!
