Ellie Dates

So my Ellie muffin and I had quite a few play dates to ourselves when Maree was actually in school.. but I still did some extra special things that I knew she hadn't done!  First we were going to go to Barnes and Noble - she LOVES books. Loves them. But, on the way, she saw this accessories store and HAD to go in.  

We tried sunglasses on for a half an hour!

We also spent an hour back in the kids section - she loved pulling out every book! I spent my time putting them all back!! 

To prove her liking of books… these are a few snap shots of how I frequently find her...

Maybe she'll be an English major like her mommy?!!

We also did a manicure pedicure day… and while she can sit for 100 books to be read to her.. she didn't sit too well for these.  All she wanted to do was touch it right after it was painted!  I think the highlight for her was picking pink for her nails and blue for her toes.

We also did a mommy/Ellie date at Imagination Avenue.  The place sounds a little cooler than what it actually is.  I think the concept is awesome-- but this place was kind of dirty (I feel bad for saying that). Ellie obviously didn't care though!

Her absolute favorite thing to do is push a stroller or a shopping cart.  Or in her case here, she kept trying to keep both with her at all times… and didn't want ANYONE to take one.

Obviously we had to play with babies too
