Our funny little house guest...

These last 2 days we had the pleasure of watching my friend Ginger's little girl Ellery...talk about a hoot! She is the funniest little child. She is Gavin's age and in his nursery class at church and also on his soccer team. In fact she scored a goal for the other team last week :) Here are a few of our favorite Ellery moments:
  • She saw a pile of dirt out back and thought it was an ant hill. She was all worried over it even after we told her it was just dirt. She didn't believe us and so finally Luke walked out to where she was. He said "Watch" as he brushed his foot over the dirt and showed her that there were no ants coming out. She said "Oh that's just because you have stinky feet and they don't want to come out!"
  • While at the dinner table we asked her what her family likes to do for fun....she said they like to hop around like bunnies. I asked if even her dad hops around and she said "No he just watches us like this" (as she pulls the funniest face of surprise and amazement)
  • Gavin and Ellery were out back and Gavin came in for something. She was yelling at him from outside and finally came in with her hands on her hips in disgust and said "Gavin you left me ALL ALONE!"
  • She could go cross-eyed like a PRO!
  • She and Emma slept in the guest room (to which she then referred to as HER room). As they were going to sleep she didn't like the lights off. First I turned the hall light on...NOPE, then the bathroom light on...NOPE, finally she just wanted the lamp in the room on. She said "There now that's not so spooky"




In these pictures Gavin is trying to go cross-eyed :)

Oh my heck, she's hilarious! I love her face in that last picture!!!
I've taught my kids to go cross-eyed by putting my finger on their nose and telling them to look at it. Works like a charm! Not that you really want your kids to go cross-eyed, but there ya go. :)
