Ella has been waiting all winter to sell lemonade. It was still a little chilly but hey when you are 7 as long as the sun is shining it is a good selling day. I had to laugh because the first price they wanted to put on their sign was $10.00 per glass. We need to work on economics! I tried to get them to lower the price even more....really who buys neighborhood lemonade at $2/glass. I was surprised. They did get a couple of sales....and I told them those people get free refills for the whole summer. Ella reminded me that the glasses are really big and they needed to charge enough money to be able to split it between the 2 of them. She has big plans for this summer.

I found this fun wind catcher for our yard.
Happy Easter!
Local PTA day at Harmon's. Ella was so cute with the girls who painted her face.
Dr. Suess dress up day at school. Any guesses???? I dislike the whole dresing up thing anytime of year and so I was pretty worried when I realized how important this day was to Ella. I searched the Dr. Seuss books for the simplest thing and came up with this.......Yertle the Turtle.
The mustache was a prize from the dentist who visited Ella's school class. Silly!
This is a very common occurrence at our house. Byron and Ella reading. I'm usually doing something else.......catching up on sleep comes to mind. Ella hasn't missed a day of reading since school started....well actually she hasn't missed a day in her whole life......being read to clearly counts. We have Byron to thank for her passion for reading. He says that I don't give myself credit but I know Ella would not be as great of a reader if it wasn't for him. Thanks Byron!!
There is a reading train in Ella's 1st grade class and I think there are 15 stops or cars on the train. You get to move to the next car when you have read for 10 days. Ella is on train stop #8 for the second time. Ella is having a read-a-thon at school today. She got to wear pajamas and take a blanket, pillow, stuffed animal, treats and of course a book to read. She was excited! Great job Ella! Now if only they could make learning math that fun.
