Great weekend

Monday, March 1st, 2010

It was a beautiful weekend here…a tiny bit cold but the rain was gone for the most part and the sun was shining.  On Saturday, I took Ella to a make-up ballet class.  She was making it up from the past Monday when she had a minor knee injury.  She was fantastic in the class.  There were some new kids – first time ballet school kids and some other kids who were a little younger.  The teacher asked Ella if she would be the helper in the class.  Ella loved taking on that role.  On Saturday night, Sunny and I went to a “Leaping Lizard” cocktail party that 2 of the class parents hosted.  It was really a great party – there are some great parents in our class and great teachers and it was really nice to be able to take a load off, leave the kids behind, and have an adult evening.  We got home close to midnight – almost a record for us since Ella.

Here’s Ella before we left for the party.  She was all ready in her Annie pajamas.

This morning, before we went out, Mommy was at the gym and Ella and I were downstairs drawing.  She loves her dry erase easel.

After doing some art, Ella hopped on her bike and we were on our way to the Crossroads Cafe.  We stopped to put air in Ella’s tires on the way there.

Our friends Simon, Tonya and Lola met us at Crossroads.  Here is a great shot of Lola sitting in Ella’s bicycle basket.

 Here are some shots from our afternoon at the Bay Area Discovery Museum.  What a beautiful day.  It was Lola’s first time there.

It was a really fun day – especially for Ella.

 

Now here is a pretty long but very sweet ballet video.
