1. While Daddy was away, the girls will shop! For 5 hours to be exact. We hit up Valley West Mall, Target and Jordan Creek Town Center. We made progress. The girls were awesome. We all had fun, with sore feet after we were done.
2. This week is dress-up week for Ellie's school. Monday was dress-up as your favorite book character. We took the easy way out and did Fancy Nancy (because who wouldn't want to dress in heels for school!). She had a blast.
3. Ellie had surgery to remove her ear tube on Wednesday. They were not able to get the IV in her to get her pain medicine, so she woke up with more pain than normal. She is back to normal now- although she cannot get water in her ear for another week or so (which means no water park this weekend).
4. Neve misses her sister. She just wants to play with her. Although playing together usually results in someone screaming, yelling or crying. The love of sisters!
5. I am playing fantasy football this year. And I love it. I know very little about football, but I am quickly learning. The first week I learned NOT to play a kicker that isn't actually on a team anymore. The second week I learned that just because you play someone that SHOULD score points doesn't mean they will. This week I am hoping for my first win. We will see. I would be happy if all of my players scored me points.

5 on Friday
1. We celebrated a family friend's 2nd birthday at Union Park and Heritage Carousel on Saturday morning. The weather was beautiful and the girls loved being able to ride the carousel as much as they wanted (and the cotton candy machine).
2. Go Hawks! We cheered the Hawks on during their game against the Cyclones on Saturday.
3. Ellie had a play-date at a friend from school's house on Sunday. It was the first play-date where I dropped her off and left. Such a weird feeling. She had a blast and would now like the friend to come to her house.
4. On Wednesday one of my college roommates came over for dinner with her family. They live in Arizona, so it had been about a year and a half since Nick and I had seen them, and we had never meet their little girl. I love it when you get together with people and everything seems so nature and like you see them all the time. Their little girl was adorable and came over to meet the minute she walked in the door! I had a cold, so I tried to stay away as much as possible- but by the end of the night I gave up (with her parents permission of course) and had so much fun getting laughs out of the little 1-year old. When they had gone for the night Nick turned to me and said, "I wished they lived closer."
5. Nick is off on his annual fall bike trip. The girls and I are going to lay low for a few days and maybe get out on Saturday. I think Ellie needs a little home time with all the changes going on and how busy we have been lately.

1. Neve went to be a little early on Friday night (that is what happens when you stop taking naps), but Ellie stayed up and talked to Nick and I about school, Beyond the Bell and anything else on her mind for 45 minutes straight. It was so sweet and fun. I think she was trying to make up for the time she lost during the daily commute.
2. Saturday was Ellie's Dance Camp in the morning, then we had friends over for lunch and to play. Nick was off riding the Pedalers Jamboree ride all day.
3. Sunday night Liam and Alida spent the night. I think all the kids had a blast and Alida wins the price for best sleeper (in bed shortly after 7:30 and slept until 7:40). The other kiddos--- maybe not the best night's sleep for those three.
4. We got an e-mail from Ellie's teacher that she was having a sad day on Tuesday. She missed her Daddy and wanted to go home. When we talked to her about it at home she told us she needed another stay-at-home day that day. The next day we found out she had an ear infection... hoping that was the underlying cause of the sad day and it doesn't happen too often (that and the lack of sleep Sunday night).
5. Ear infection in the ear with the ear tube + ear tube being in for 2+ years = Ellie going in for surgery to remove the tube in a couple weeks.

1. Nick had his Fantasy Football Draft at our house on Sunday. The draft takes a long time--- it started at 10am and didn't get over until a little before 5.
2. With the draft going on at home, the girls needed to get away--- to Ames we went! The girls loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and even got to see the new trains at Reimen Gardens. They are pretty neat.
3. Tuesday night was Curriculum Night at Ellie's school. The parents go and learn about what the kids will be taught during the year, how the classroom works, and other fun information we all wonder about. With it being dance night, Nick took dance duty and I went to Ellie's classroom. At school it was confirmed that Ellie has a best friend (Ellie had told me, the other girls' mom mentioned it to me as well). :) It is nice to know she is making friends.
4. Ellie survived her first full week of kindergarten! She loves it and loves to tell us about her day and everything she has learned thus far. She is tired, but that is to be expected.
5. Neve must not have heard that Ellie is jealous she gets to take naps because she hasn't been taking advantage of that at school. It just goes to show that each kid is his or her own person--- Ellie still loves (and sort of needs) naps at age 5 1/2, while Neve is ready to give them up at 3.
