sorry for the lack of posting. is anyone even reading this? i have been way too busy grumbling at my laundry, trying to find the end of the internet (that is what joel always asks me when i am wasting time on the computer- "you find the end of the internet yet?" sometimes it feels like i have, unfortunately. anyway, back to what has been keeping me from blogging. um, some sort of eye infection rendered me utterly contact-less, and this is only a huge deal because i am so blind and don't enjoy glasses, um, sick kids and cleaning my room, you know the kind of cleaning where you are fed up and decide to pull everything out and reorganize and then two weeks later you can finally walk across the bedroom floor without tripping. (the same room that was so super clean that your children decided that it needed no less than one thousand toys strewn across it to make it feel more like home again, and said toys and children that made me more than a little berserk once realizing the situation) so there are a couple of the reasons. please forgive. okay, i forgive. no! i forgive! no! i forgive! (oh, sorry, i got a little confused. this is what apology sessions look like around my house. not between me and joel, have you, but between a certain 5 year old and almost 3 year old.)
so, the reason i posted... a cute little example of how i find ellen much different than my boys. the dishwasher. my boys loved the dishwasher, to be sure. but more in a climb in it kind of way, or a how many things can i throw on the floor kind of way, or can i pull this whole rack off of it's track so that i can fit in here a little better kind of way.
ellen likes the dishwasher so that she can help me set the table. lately, she has been taking silverware out of the dishwasher and putting it on the chairs at the table. isn't that the cutest? my boys never did this. (and, yes, mom, this means ellen was walking around carrying a fork. don't worry, she was supervised :) )
well, today while she was doing this, she stopped to be sure that this little pile of cars had a fork, too. awww. she didn't want filmore, sally and mario andretti to be left out.
she is such the little hostess.
so, coming soon... an update on each member of our family and we will see if i have kept any of my new year's resolutions. it will be riveting!!
