September 28th (My mom's birthday-shopping & lunch/Ella Unified Bowling Started)

Today my mom and I went to Oak Park Mall to shop for her birthday and have lunch together.
We had a great time shopping and I bought her a birthday sweatshirt outfit!
I headed home after to get a couple things done.
Ella was going to bowling right after school, which they take her. 
But I think she was confused because she wouldn't get in the van to go. I talked to her and told her I would be there to watch and pick her up then she got in the van!
She is excited to bowl, but is used to me taking her to everything.

I got there early because I wanted to make sure she was ok. 
She ended up acting out probably because she was tired and since I was there maybe she thought she didn't have to follow the rules. 
Well next time I wont come early. She ended up being fine and had a great time picking up the bowling ball by herself and not using the ramp! Great job Ella!

 

September 27th (Senior Sweatshirt/Senior Sunday)

I got Adelyn this cute sweatshirt in pink for Senior year instead of the one from East. 
I ordered her a t shirt from OE that we are still waiting on, just not as cute.
Senior Sunday post!
My little witch, she still loves to dress up for Halloween! 
Figuring out her costume today-Winter Soldier from Marvel!!

 

September 26th (Raising Canes)


We ran some errands today and got Ella out of the house.
Adelyn was working so we stopped bye to grab some Canes to go!
Luck has it the lady working the cashier said Addie could use her 50 percent off for us, wow score!
So proud of her for keeping this job since March! She is such an amazing person!!

 

September 25th (Ella @ School/GBA Family Night-Apple Orchard)

Ella and Mazey in the CBR newsletter!
There is Ella with her cute pink helmet on.
Ella has been having a few issues with school lately. It has been a big change going to high school. She doesn't like ever para and there are a lot of moving parts with switching classes more than she was used to with middle school.
It is an adjustment but I know she will get used to it. And she does like being with Mazey and new peer helpers all the time!

Wow it rained all day!!
Luck has it though it stopped raining right when we were supposed to head to Nick's work sponsored event at the Apple Orchard.
So nice of GBA/I-Solutions to feed us Zarda BBQ, Apple pick and get a pumpkin! All for FREE. 
So nice that Nick is part of such a generous company and we get to reap some benefits as well!
Adelyn was working so, just us 3!
We got to use the apple launcher as well! So fun! Nick really liked it.
Apple season is almost over but we were able to find a small bag full at least.

After we picked apples we headed to get dinner.
The had Zarda BBQ buffet for us, with some dessert and drinks.
The food was good and we met up with some other co workers and families of Nicks.
Ella was excited to go get a pumpkin next at the patch.
(Luckily we got food when we did because a huge line formed and they ran out of forks!)
Look how beautiful it is with the sun going down.

Here we go.
Glad I made sure Ella and I wore boots because it was extremely muddy!
Nick found a great one.
Ella loved it!
We had such a great night together!
Time to go home and relax.

 

September 24th (Ella Homecoming Dress)

Ella
I had ordered a dress for Ella but then returned it because I found more on clearance online.
I ordered Ella 4 fancy dresses for the price of the one original one!
I found this pink one for her for $15, which she LOVES pink right now, so she chose this one. 
She is so excited for the dance!

 

September 22nd (Martha-Fiestaware)


 Fiestaware on Martha channel today! Gotta love it!

September 20th (Senior Sunday/


My actual post on Facebook of my little diva!
Adelyn was sick this last week so I had ordered some dresses to be delivered to our house but Adelyn didn't love any of them. So we went to the mall since she was feeling better to take them back and to look for one!
She was actually excited for shopping for it! ya winning!
She liked this one to start but wasn't sold on it!
I liked this one a lot!

Went to Dillards and she loved this one!
The lighting is horrible but this dress is very very pretty!
(But I didn't like how the boobs were out a little bit more, but we thought with double sided tape it wouldn't be so revealing??!) 

Moved the truck to the OE parking lot on the weekends. Getting some hits on Facebook Market place too. But still haven't sold yet! Ugh!
