Texts to Grandma
I will sometimes send the grandparents picture text updates. I thought I'd share the most recent with you.

Ella to the Dentist
Ella finally went to the dentist. Things pretty well all things considered. Her teeth did get cleaned and examined. (Despite some cranky moments)
On the way out of the office a little boy passed by and got an elephant mask for a prize. He put it on upside down (on purpose.) Whenever I asked her about the appointment she'd say "'phant! Silly 'phant" The other things she found memorable were the treasure box (She'll correct you if you call it a prize box.) and the duck she got to bring home.
On a side note, who knew that having a new pink tooth brush would totally change brushing time? She now opens her mouth and doesn't fight! She also loves the dolphin flosser we got.

Kitchen Cabinet Doors Reveal!
It is time for the long awaited cabinet door reveal. Our timeline was definitely destroyed pretty early on when it took forever for each coat of stain to dry. (Didn't use a strong enough grit sandpaper we think.) Then we had to change out the pulls that inspired the project because they didn't look great with the color we selected for the stain.
But the results are still awesome!

Wildflower Seed Cookies
This year our stake did a service project to help out a local middle school. Daniel helped to pull weeds, load dirt, and lots of manual labor.
Ella and I helped to plant wildflower seeds. First we made seed balls by mixing clay, compost, wildflower seeds, and a little water. We had to tell the toddlers to roll them up like cookie dough. Ella insisted on calling them cookies the rest of the morning. After rolling the balls, we were told to throw them out onto the hill behind the school. Ella made a little friend and they spread the seed balls far and wide. Service a success.

Cat Sitting
Our friend from down the street went out of town and asked us to feed and check up on their cat. This was something akin to Ella's dream job.
She got to play with a cat and different toys everyday for almost a week!

Daddy Dog and Ella Cat
Ella has dived right into the world of pretend play. She is obsessed with being a cat. She meows, crawls on all fours and even rubs against your leg to give you loves. She has decided to transform into a cat in all kinds of exotic places (The library lawn, the park, the hall in the church building), but she will meow any place, any time and to anyone.
She also loved when we introduced "parent pretends to be a pet" play. We really didn't intend for her to demand "Daddy Dog" pretty much every time she sees Daniel.
