Excuse me mommy, why...

Ella has started almost every statement this month with "Excuse me" even if we are the only ones in the car or on a walk. And the "Excuse me;" which always requires a response of "Yes Ella," is usually followed by a question. Some questions are great "Why are there no clouds in the sky at night?" "Do Sea Turtles eat Jelly Fish?" (they do) other questions are a bit frustrating. This was our conversation the other day "Ella get your pants." -"Why"- "so we can go to your friends house"- "Why" -"so you can play"-"Why" - "because it's fun"- "Why?" - I sigh-" Why you (repeat noise of sigh)" - I laugh- "Why you laugh" -"because I'm getting frustrated" - "Why you getting frustrated mommy, don't be frustrated, I love you, be happy (big hug) you happy now?"-" Yes, I am happy."
One last day at the beach
Taking Lollipop for a walk
We love Fall in New England!
All of these beautiful leaves to play in!
We took a lovely fall drive out to Shelburne Falls and the bridge of flowers.

In hindsight perhaps a preschooler shouldn't be holding a knife.. humm... but her pumpkin certainly came out cute.

I love the "excuse me, why?" story. Gabi hasn't hit the "why" stage just yet...

You have an unbelievably good rabbit. Now I feel like a bad bunny mommy for not paying enough attention to Merlin.

By the way, you did an awesome job on Ella's halloween costume!
