It’s been a bit crazy here for the past few weeks. We’ve been doing lots of demo stuff and everything is a mess. Halloween was fun, we carved pumpkins for the 1st time with Ella and she liked it a lot. I asked her if she wanted to scoop out the pumpkin guts, and she said “no, but maybe next time I will want to.” So we made one that was a cat, one a mouse with candy corn, and another that was a traditional face. She like seeing them lit up a lot. She dressed up as Uniqua from the Backyardigans, and had fun trick-or-treating with her cousin Cody, and his cousin’s Camille and Connor.
We’ve got a new thing where we go to the library every Tuesday morning. Ella absolutely loves it, and gets a6 books and a couple movies every time. And this last Tuesday we went to Huntington Gardens with Nick and Paul. It was a really good time. They have a huge conservatory with all sorts of interactive things to look at, and then they had a huge children’s garden with all sorts of fountains and things to play with. After we walked through the Jungle and Desert gardens we stopped at the gift shop. We wanted to get Ella something, and she decided on a flower pressing kit, not quite understanding when we told her it would take a long time. We pressed some flowers today, and they'll be ready in a couple weeks, but a few hours after we put them in, she flipped because we couldn't look at them. Maybe not the best thing to have gotten, but she liked putting the flowers in, and I'm sure she'll like getting them out. We went to Panda Inn in Pasadena for dinner after the gardens. Nick and Paul got Sweet and Pungent Shrimp, which for some reason Ella wanted to try. It turned out she liked it, as long as Shelley scraped off the flavoring. She ate about 6 of them, I tried one and it was disgusting. But at least she tried something new and liked it.

How could something called Sweet and Pungent shrimp be disgusting! It is making me drool...
I remember going to Huntington with Nicky and Paul! Actually...I think it was Nicky and Tommy....Actually...I think I've been more than once...
I love that you have a fun library routine. The flower press was a hilariously cute story... love the dress and the pumpkin. Her cousin Maddie didn't like pumpkin gut removal either. Excellent pictures
