1. I made rhubarb pie on Sunday with rhubarb Genevieve and I picked up at my parent's house last Monday. I love rhubarb pie! It had a little bit too much nutmeg and I got the butter flavored shortening instead of the regular stuff (Nick likes the regular stuff), so it wasn't perfect. But it was still yummy.
2. On Monday we put Ellie's swim suit on so she could run through the sprinkles... she was not a fan.
3. Ellie has moved from sippy cups to 'big girl cups'. I ended up ordering Tupperware ones similar to the ones I had as a child. I am not sure who was more excited to get them, Ellie or me.
4. We had Ellie's year parent/teacher conference on Wednesday. Pretty positive all around. The teacher said she needs to work on her shapes (they obviously did not do the shape app on the iPad that Ellie can do with no problem), cutting (we just bought scissors so this is easy to work on) and using her words. I think Ellie is shy when she gets around (new) people, because the girl will not stop talking when she is with us. She is also in a new room and not as familiar with the kids or teachers yet. Since Genevieve had not been at the center very long we opted not to do a conference for her--- and she is only 9 weeks old.
5. We had a great time with Mike, Megan and Liam on Sunday! All three kids were sleeping at the same time (for about 2 hours!). The adults did not know what to do. And then we decided to play the Wii and darts. Not to brag, but I won in Wii bowling. And I beat Mike in Wii baseball. OK, I should brag about it because I had an awesome game of bowling, and will most likely never win again. I lost in darts.
