The Easter Egg
[Ella decorated the egg, which Julie subsequently captured in this stunning still-life portrait. Note the balance and harmony created by the floral elements, signifying birth and regrowth, framed by the rural setting. Also recognize the strained dissonance formed between the decorative stickers, indicative of rampant commercialism, and the balanced flare of artistic expression apparent in their careful placement. A more honest snapshot of societal pressures and contrasts there never was.]
The Christmas Boxes
We opened our Christmas boxes this morning!
Shiloh is still wearing his horse hat and shows no indications of taking it off. Ella keeps experimenting with her "pintheth shoes". I'm sure she'll get the hang of them before long. She also loves her Curious George monkey, and insisted on sharing naptime with him. Max and Ruby and Veggie Tales have already been on today. And Ella is trying to read all of her books at once.
Julie and I are thrilled with our goodie box [I've already got the coffee on], and Julie has already transferred everything into her new purse.
Thanks to everyone!! :D
Thanks to everyone.
Thanks. To everyone.
The Bed
Ella was thrilled when I took the sides off of her crib and fixed her a "new" bed.
Although naptime doesn't always take place in the bed now.
The Printheth
I'm really not sure where she came up with "Princess", but we've been talking about them ALL DAY today.
The Sous Chef
We just made enchiladas for our Mexican version of Thanksgiving. I used:
2 1/2 chicken breasts, cooked and pulled
3 tomatoes, chopped and with the mushy bits removed
2 small onions from the garden
A leftover third of a jalapeno pepper
Just enough enchilada sauce to moisten
A handful of mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper
We then wrapped the filling in large tortillas cut in half. Ella will show you how on this installment of Cooking Wifus Ella:
Which made two casserole dishes. Pour over this two cans of enchilada sauce [minus whatever was used in the filling], cover with more mozzarella cheese, and pop in the oven until bubbly.
The Mongol Horde
Seems that a roving Mongol horde has taken up residence on the farm. It's a small and cheerful horde, consisting of just one, and appears to have an affinity for boxed juices and bouncy balls.
