A Case of the Body Snatchers?

I've been busy lately and haven't been blogging....and I'm not the only one who has been busy....

It seems as if Ella's personality was recently abducted.  She went to bed on Thursday, completely normal.  I am convinced overnight though that a body-snatcher took the sweet, angelic personality, always laid back and easy to manage, and left her shell with a new personality.  Chronologically:


  • Friday @ sitters-during naptime, tore down some curtains, took down a white board & erased it, and put on A LOT of makeup, ruining at least one eye shadow
  • Saturday @ home: While I was feeding Eli, Ella put on my 14-hour lipstick (like a clown!) and painted her nails over her St. Patty's Day green nail polish.  
    • Punishment-spanking, and removal of all nail polish.  The latter seemed to be the most upsetting to her as she screamed, "NOOOOO!!!!!  IT'S FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!"
  • Sunday @ Aunt Kristin's: Good almost the whole day, except for while we were visiting.  Example: when we left, Reagan tried hugging her and saying, "Thanks for coming over" while Ella stiff armed her yelling, "YOU'RE WELCOME!" and running out the back door.  Huh?
  • Monday @ home: #1- Ella eats 2 Cadberry Cream Eggs (MY FAVORITE!) for breakfast without permission #2-Ella gets into my makeup again
  • Tuesday-Good day, but it took 2 hours to get her to go to sleep.  At one point, she got up to go to the bathroom & somehow, her panties got flushed down the toilet.  When I asked where they were, she said, "I told you they were wet!" and she keeps pointing to the toilet, then adds, "and now they're in the basement...."
RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!  Seriously?  What happened to my angel baby?  She was so good and so easy!  It seems as if overnight, everything has changed.  In any case, I would have loved to take pictures of any of these things.  However, I CANNOT encourage further misbehavior by acting like any of this is cute.  I'm sure one day (a long, long way from today) that I will find all of this to be funny.  However, right now, it's maddening!

Here are some other pics of the kids though:

This boy sure does love to eat....yet somehow he's in the bottom 10% of his weight class. Go figure!

Fun in the Tub--Eli LOVES bathing with Ella.  He loves it even more now that he's not in a seat.  He's such a big kid!

This was at the dentist (before).  She took it like a champ though and didn't cry once.  She was enormously proud of her x-ray too. :)
