1. Nick and Ellie had a camp-out in the backyard with the neighbor girl and her dad on Friday night. They had a little fire, made s'mores, and stayed up late. They had a great time. I was shocked that Ellie made it all the way to 5:30 AM before she woke up and wanted to go inside. Of course she was up for the day at that time. The girls wanted to camp-out again the next night... the dad's said not for a while.
2. We had a fun group bike ride/dinner/play-time with friends on Saturday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and it was great to be outside.
3. Ellie started dance class on Wednesday! She was really excited and looked so cute in her little pink outfit. She came out of class with a huge smile on her face and has been showing us her first position ever since.
4. I found Hawkeye clothes for the girls! Pro Image at Valley West Mall. Lots to choose from. A little more difficult to find matching clothes in size 18-24 mos. and 5/6. I was wearing a UNI shirt and the guy behind me at the checkout line commented that I was going to confuse Ellie with the Iowa outfit and my UNI shirt. I explained that I graduated from both places, but also grew up in Ames where two sets of her grandparents live. He said that was even more confusing.
5. Neve's day-care teacher commented that she thought she was going to be a tomboy because she is a little rougher than the other girls and holds her own (or is the pack leader) with the boys. I agree that she is a feisty, but she also loves wearing dresses/jewelry and playing house with her babies. It is interesting to see her personality develop.
