The Adventures of Elinor and Daddy

It was snowing when we woke up this morning and we opened the blinds and asked Elinor what's going on outside. She told us it's Elsa. I think she has listened/watched Frozen too many times. This weekend we went to the movies for the sing along. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was the movie with words at the bottom of the screen when a song came on. Of course Elinor loved it. She stood up in my lap (we were in the back row), sang every word and doing all the motions. She has about every move from Let It Go down. There is a part when Elsa takes off her tiara and throws it. Then she lets her hair down and runs her fingers through it. Elinor gets a super serious face, pretends to throw her tiara off and lets her "hair" down. There weren't many people in the theater and only a few people were singing along. Dave and I were crying from laughing so hard at Elinor singing.

This weekend Elinor and Dave took it easy. They went to the mall for Dave to get a new phone. She loved the apple store with the preloaded iPads out on the kids table. Dave said she just sat so nicely while he got everything sorted out. Then they played in the kids play area in the mall. Those always scare me. Not only because germs but there are always super rough kids that no one seems to be watching. I've had to yell at a 12 year old one time for knocking her down the stairs to the slide. 12! But Dave said this time it was a small group of little girls playing nicely. After they picked me up from class we went to see Frozen. Sunday they spent the day at his mom's. Elinor completely takes over mums house. Sorry mum! We even got a small date in. He came to take a class with me after my training and then we went out to eat. I had a rough day at training so it was perfect.

posing for a picture so I could show my parents the dress they sent her. The dress is size 12-18 months. She's such a peanut.

When daddy paints with you, you get a way cooler painting.

Sunday

Today we are heading to Ohio for Thanksgiving. I'm excited to see everyone and spend time with one of my best friends. We have a packed week so I'm not sure how much I will be able to check in here. If I was organized, I would have scheduled some things. But nope is Saturday night and I'm half packing, cleaning, doing more laundry, blogging and watching The Neverending Story.

Here are some things to check out or try while I'm gone!

Elinor is really into painting right now. She wants to paint everyday. After play group the other day we picked up some sticks and leaves to paint with. The painting came out so cool looking and she loved exploring how to use everything. I want to encourage her to paint since she loves it and it's nice to change up a bit and explore new things.

Have you ever heard of Polagram? It is an app that prints and ships pictures from your phone to your door. I have tried out other apps like this but what I really liked about Polagram is it allowed me to select pictures to print from not only your phone but also facebook and instagram. I take so many photos that I have to clear my phone often for space. With Polagram, you can also print iphone skins, polasticks (stickers that stick to cars, computers, anything you want) and large prints. It took only a few minutes to choose a few pictures and I had them at my door in a few days. If you are intrested download the app for free! and feel free to use my referral code PGTQ3ALK

If you live near The Nesting House in Mt Airy, stop in and check out their local artist shelf. I just dropped off some cute hats and headbands. There are also some really cute local handmade rattles, carriers and more!

So everyone knows about Black Friday but what about Giving Tuesday? I heard about it recently and love the idea!

Speaking of...anyone going out on Black Friday? I will be sleeping followed by eating leftovers but if you see any great deals let me know!
