Our Day out on the Town

Ellie starts kindergarten on August 9th, so we are spending these last two weeks doing a few fun things for her.

On Wednesday I took her to the Georgia Aquarium then we met up with Chris for lunch at Yeah! Burger (it's supper yummy, if you haven't tried it already I highly recommend it.).

The Jellyfish are my favorite. I could watch them for hours. Their water was kinda dirty, but they were still beautiful!

Ellie refused to look at me to let me take her picture, so this is the best I have at the aquarium.

She was super happy to see Daddy (well, we both were).

Playing with Daddy's goatee.

And, the obligatory Sunglass shot. This is one of my favorites!

And,  I have no idea what she is doing here...but she is still cute!      

Ellie the Magician!

Chris has been teaching Ellie a few magic tricks. They are so hilarious!

Here are a few other pictures of the Sears Family Happenings:

Katie The Dog got roped into some Princess Play

I had a pile of laundry to fold that was taller than I am. This happens a lot, but I wanted to capture the excitement of one Sunday night.

Meggie didn't eat what I made for dinner one night. Chris came to rescue when get got home, giving her a bagel while he read her a story.

We had to pick up a prescription at the Pharmacy and Chris told Ellie they were "listening" pills. She was very disturbed by the idea, this is her having a mini-meltdown about it in the car.

Meggie in the Target parking lot.

My beautiful Meggie!

After lunch at Shorty's, so yummy!

A disclaimer: These are the clothes Chris put the girls to bed in. They didn't want to change the next morning and I didn't make them. But, they don't normally dress like this in public. Still, they are SUPER cute!

The girls made a drum set this morning. It was REALLY loud, but they sure enjoyed it!

Ellie in my sunglasses, being super cute!

Cheese!

Meggie climbing on Daddy and Ellie pouting...a normal day for the Sears girls!

The Fourth!

On the July 4th I was trying to re-cooperate from a wedding I shot the night before. Chris started the day by taking the girls to the zoo. Then Uncle Drew came over and we shot off fireworks and I made homemade ice cream. After that we headed down to Decatur to watch the fireworks. A SUPER fun day! Oh, and, I finally got a point-and-shoot camera so I am no longer hauling around my biggie. This should lead to WAAAAAY more pics on the girls blog!

All of the Safe and Sane fireworks two pyro's could want!

 

 

 

Ellie Turns 5!

Ellie hit the big 5 a few weeks ago. I took cupcakes to her camp class then we went to the pool and to Doc Chey's for dinner. Chris even got her a piñata and the girls had a good time breaking it apart.  The Saturday after her birthday we had a super fun pool party with some friends. Thanks to everyone who sent presents and helps us celebrate her fun day!
