The Restaurant.

Another day of fancy cuisine...elle begged me for a chile pepper, a small new potato, a bowl of water, and a pizza cutter - all to make her 'souffle':

Naked Chicks and Cars.

We were taking a break from 'washing the car' and Isla kept asking me to go get the camera.

Came back outside and she was already in full pose waiting for me to take her picture:

Say cheese!

If you notice a general lack of elle lately, it's because most pictures that I try to take of her turn out similar to this one:

Cheeps and Isla.

The Attack Unicorn.

Sep 19th :: 2007.

Pumpkin-Frog

I think there is something about a fairy tale in this picture, but I don't quite remember a frog kissing a pumpkin?

Booklight.

Just about every night, Isla makes a few phone calls on my booklight.

She usually talks for a few minutes until the light gets too hot:

Isla-corn.

For some reason, Isla thinks that unicorns are lazy - every time we talk about them (which is pretty often) she runs to lay down and does a unicorn impression:

Yoga Bear.

I am a little disappointed to find out that I am less flexible than a 450 lb. caged animal:

No Diaper?

It was just for an afternoon - but it is progress!

Dear Summer,

Please go away.

Target has decided to roll-out the Halloween costumes, catalogs are full of sweaters and snow boots, and the schools keep telling the girls that it is Fall.

It is mid-September, and the Austin 'Feels Like' temperature is 112 degrees today.

I dislike you more and more every year.

Because of you, Isla only got to wear this outfit one time.

You should be ashamed of yourself - now leave.

Sunday Rewind : September 2007.

For nearly 2 months straight, this cabinet was elle's favorite place in the whole world:

Fifteen Hundred.

The super-magical blog post counter tells me that this is the 1,500th episode of Another Day in Elle.

Which means that you get the first pumpkin picture of 2010:

My Beautiful Daughters.

Ever Feel Like This?

Always running in circles:

Backwards Day.

Somewhere, somehow - the girls got the idea that walking backwards is pretty funny.

Backwards at home = no problem!
Backwards at the park = super!
Backwards at school = go for it!

Backwards at Whole Foods on a Saturday afternoon = maybe not.

A Few More?

Would you like some cake with your plate of sprinkles?

Hanger.

Isla and Her Cheeks = 2008.

Hula.

Towel Rats.

Pre-K: Here I come!

Yesterday was the first day of Pre-K for "Butterfly" (elle's new name for herself):

Life in the Fountain.
