September means more time at home

We made a quick trip to Logan over Labor Day weekend.  We got there and realized Ella hadn't worn any shoes out to the car.  So she worn Aunt Nellie's extra large flip flops all weekend.  We got to visit Great Grandma Balls too. 

Pat and Seth had lots of tomatoes.  Their garden does so well.  I think mine was too shaded this year but a huge over grown tree so my tomatoes aren't even big!  I came home an made the most wonderful easy spaghetti sauce. ( I did add some peppers and a zucchini or two).  Ella was drinking it with a straw.  yum!  My friend said she adds a can of cream of mushroom soup every time and wow! we loved that!

We also got green grapes from our neighbor.  We have lots of raisins now and I am so excited!

Ella has been very interested in babies lately.  She wants me to help her with her babies.  She takes care of her babies. 

We just lent our neighbor our bouncy swing that hangs from the ceiling.  So Ella came home and made a swing for one of her babies that hangs from the ceiling. 

We are also getting ready for fall.  We found a family of snails in the garden.  Ella is taking good care of them.  If they try to leave their bucket "home"  she carefully puts them back in and tells them to stay with their family.  She just told me they are all sleeping because they haven't moved for a day.  

Is this animal cruelty?  no.... their snails!!!!


My sister Candace had a cute baby- Liesel.  So we had some fun cousin time yesterday so she could have a minute or two with out the other kids.  It was a fun play date. 
Tyler also invented a Lego electronic toothbrush.  Pretty fun.
