This past weekend we were in MI for Hope College's homecoming festivities and time with my family. The kids and I went apple picking on Friday with Stacey and Taylor and had a great time. The girls loved running through the orchard picking up sticks and other treasures (in addition to the bags full of apples we picked)! Ellie actually enjoyed the sticks more. She found a long branch to hold, that was even taller than she was! Hannah looked at her little sister carrying this branch and said, "Ellie, you look like Moses!" I almost dropped my apples at that one!
And THEN a couple of days later, we were taking a walk/bike ride around our neighborhood and after coming to a stop at an intersection, I told Hannah that she could go on b/c it was "clear." She added, "All clear...Claritin Clear." I thought I heard what she said, but couldn't really believe it, so I asked her, "What did you just say?" She turned around with a sheepish grin and said, "Claritin Clear." Yeah, as in the slogan from the allergy medicine commercials! YIKES! I laughed so hard and then immediately called Brian...and although it was so funny, it did make me a little nervous about what other things she picks up on from commercials. She doesn't watch a ton of TV, but obviously when she does, she's taking it ALL in. We love our DVR that allows us to pause TV if we are watching a sporting event and usually I feel like the commercials she might happen to see during one of her kid shows, should be okay...but, wow!!! This also proves the power of commercials and media...scary!

I loved her announcement today that she saw on TV a song about not liking Candy Corn. She told me that was just silly because everyone likes Candy Corn!
Of course, this is also the girl who told me she was riding a dolphin that could squirt out macaroni sandwiches.
Had a blast today! I am so glad to be part of her life as she grows up. She is incredible and Ellie's smile is enough to melt anyones heart!!!!
