Not Good

When we moved here, the front door (ha, what am I saying? the only door...) was missing a big chunk of weather stripping at the bottom. It's something that I've been wanting to fix because I know that lots of spiders and bugs are coming in the house that way. Well, last night I was getting ready for bed and I was looking for something so I had turned on the entryway light. I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye at the bottom of the front door and in that split second it looked like a snakes tongue peeking through the hole.

Fight or flight?

I ran away.

Then I came back to investigate.

Nope, not a snake, but a scorpion, he was still working on getting through.

Everyone else was asleep, but I woke Cary up to get rid of the scorpion.

He wasn't too happy that I woke him up for THAT.

Um, I don't know about anyone else, but a scorpion living in my house is kind of a big deal. ☺

Then I was up all night worrying about what other creatures (snakes?!) are getting through that gap in the door!

Ugh.

I'm slowly trying to get caught up on posting and going through my pictures.

Friday's are exercise days around here.

Groups of people out running

 and then working out on the lawn.

Ella turns TWO!

I think everyone could say this during the summer, but man, it's been crazy busy!

Ella's birthday was on Thursday and we had a little birthday pizza party for her.

Rainbow cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes

She was wanting to eat the frosting off of the cupcakes

Telling us how old she is

Chandra made all the pizza and Sharon helped me with the decorating, including frosting the cupcakes, and blowing up a million balloons. Thanks ladies!

Aidan wanted to blow out some candles too. =P

Some things about Ella.

-She's really into ruffly skirts

-She likes dessert ☺

-She likes to terrorize Aidan

-She's very "helpful"

-She's a good little mother, so I got her, her own baby.

-She LOVES being the center of attention, she'll be our next little performer

I can't tell if she has a favorite food yet, she's getting to the stage where they don't like to eat anything, but she loves homemade tortillas and Cafe Rio quesadillas.
