Ella, day 2

I can't even describe how much fun I'm having with Ella. She is the NICEST kid. We went to the store for snacks yesterday and she pointed out some pretzels that she loves. I told her to get them. She then spent several minutes making sure I knew how much they cost and that she really didn't need them. 
Very sweet.
We started out day with her making me get up! When I came downstairs she was already working on her blanket. But we stopped that and got right to making a couple of shirts. I try to break up the blanket sessions so she doesn't get fatigued with it. The blue shirt is for her brother.
​

Next we made shirts for their schools. Eli plays football and his jersey number is 7. They both have their school initials on the front and names on the back.
​

through a few session, we have gotten this far on the blanket. It will be 8 blocks tall and we are through 5. We have 2.5 balls to get through today and that's doable. There are lots of mistakes in this blanket but we did a fine job of correcting or covering them up. She's really happy with it so far.

Last night we did a special project. She wanted to make a birthday gift for my Mom. I'll get a photo this weekend. We wrapped it up before I remembered to wrap it. She designed it herself in the Cricut and did a great job. I think Santa already has something on his list for December!

​Today we have 2 more shirts to do, some cookies to make and one special blanket to finish!
