Another Beach Day

I'm too tired to type so the pictures below will have to suffice for now. We headed to Alki Beach this afternoon and Ella Grace had a blast!

Gotta Love...

 {Tents}


{Watching Ella design the inside of her tent}




{Some of the accessories}


{And, the small fits that occur in this little fort}

{The many thoughts circling in a 2 year old's mind}

{And, why she wants to hang her rainboot off her big toe}

{The creation of this tent at 10 p.m. because a certain someone wanted to watch Kipper on the TV while watching Happy Feet on her DVD player}



{Yes, she did sleep in her tent all by herself}

{Ella holding up her hand in a stop motion while telling me to "stop, wait a minute" after I asked her to do something.}

{Ella thinking I'm asleep on the couch and softly whispering "shhhh, Mommy's sleeping, Mommy night night, gotta be quiet," while holding her pointer finger up to her mouth. This was followed by making sure my blanket was up to my nose and several kisses on my forehead before returning to the other side of the couch to watch Calliou (Sprouts channel).}

{Bubbles}


 {Shoes on the wrong feet}
{The dresses we just received that were handmade for Miss Priss (I'm so excited about how they turned out!}





{Flowers...you know the little ones around clover...Ella's favorite. However, she thinks every flower is for picking. We walked to the pie shop tonight and she wanted to pick the potted flowers for sale at the coffee shop, and the rose bush in front of the hair salon, and the within reach basket of flowers in front of the florist! I think there's a story around flower picking that involves me - something like me digging up all the neighbors freshly planted flowers out of their garden and my mom having to replant them before they got home - but I'll let my mom confirm that one. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree....}

 {Blurry yet Happy action shots}



{Spinning}




Cheers to the "Gotta Loves"!
