Ella's Brand of "CUTE"

We have the cutest kids but I never dreamed that cute could come in so many different forms. Mackenzie loves making cards. She will draw rainbows and flowers and butterflies and make hearts and she loves using this to practice her writing by usually signing them "Mummy I love you from Mackenzie". When she plays she is always the princess - Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle. It is very cute.
Ella is a different kind of cute. She loves being the bad wolf and the bad witch. And while I say this you need not worry that she is laboring under some dark psychological trauma - she just loves being the mischievous one! Well I think she noticed Mackenzie got lots of kisses and "thank you's" when she drew pictures for us so the other night Ella decided to draw daddy a picture. She came into the room very proudly and gave me the picture.
"Here wu gwo Dada" She said.

"Wow Thanks Ella..tell me all about it" I asked, "What is it?"
She cocked her head and looked puzzled that I would ask and then said "It's a stworm cwoud Dada!"
Like, Duh! lol
It's not flowers or rainbows or princesses or hearts but it is Ella's very own brand of CUTE!

First of spring.


We went to the park today across from the house. We played races in the snow. The snow was still very deep. We had a lot of fun and we made pink snow and we ate popsicles. And we splashed in puddles. Lucy also prayed with her arms folded.
