Elliot is 8

For Elliot's 8th birthday party, we had an NFL fantasy football draft party, complete with bar food and beer.  He loved it.

Elliot quotes

Yesterday afternoon, while walking to the trampoline, "mama, when Ezra is on the ground he looks like a honey badger."

Tonight, after taking a shower and then farting on my bed, 'mama, I guess that took the good smell away from my bootie."

Before and after

It's been a couple of months since we moved in.  I thought it was about time for some before and after photos.

Birthdays

While we were in Peoria this past week, we celebrated Elsie's birthday early and Andri's birthday late.  We actually fit 44 candles onto the cake!

Today we went to the Lancaster County Fair

It happened also to be Elsie's birthday, so she got a pony ride!
