This and That......

Here is a look back at what we've been up to the past week or so (besides being hammered with snow!) and some pictures:

Ella and I spend a lot of time together and, while I do choose her outfits myself, I didn't even realize that we were dressed the same one day recently until she said, "Hey, Mommy! Me and you are twins!"

(lime green turtleneck sweaters and jeans)

I've officially completed all three sets of taxes--whew!
My favorite tea cup and teas got me through---the tea bags are triangular and have leaf tops that fit through the lid.
This bright red tea was called crimson nectar---yum!
(a gift from Rob's parents for Christmas)




Ella loves to help around the house, especially with building/fixing things, cooking/baking, and cleaning. She likes using the broom, but the regular one is too big. Rob and I found this little one and a dustpan and picked it up for her on sale. Ella spent one morning with me sweeping our wood floors upstairs
(and being silly with the broom).


Is this a look of guilt, or what??
See the next picture of what she did.....


Ella loves unrolling the toilet paper roll and watching the paper pile up on the floor


She pulled the paper through the living room and into the dining room before Rob caught her
