An Amish furniture store closed down in Morgantown and was auctioning off their merchandise so Ellie and I wanted to see what was being sold. I wish I had done some more research and of what they were selling because things were going for great deals. I felt so bad for Sam (Sam Stoltzfus was the Amish guy) because he had to be losing so much money.

Ellie slept for an hour over the piano lessons then when she woke up we went back to the auction. Sadly I had missed a large portion of the furniture that I was interested in but I suppose it wasn't meant to be. I dropped Ellie off at the Fenton's since Kelly offered to watch her while her kids slept. Ellie enjoyed playing with their play kitchen and stayed busy and obedient (or so was Kelly's report).
Jon and Omar met up with me at the store with Pop-pop's truck and they loaded up my goods. I bought some sausage sandwiches from the Amish stand and went home where we ate. Jon and Omar ran to Home Depot then came back for a few rounds of FIFA.
Tuesday morning Hunter came at 9:00. Ellie had woken up at 7:00 and was cranky so I laid her down after he arrived and after a few minutes alone Ellie came out happy and ready to play. Apparently the threat of a nap was all she needed to cheer up.

Wednesday morning Ellie and I had Precepts at church. Well Ellie got to hang out with Corinne in childcare and Corinne said that Ellie was showing off and walking around here and there. She still doesn't walk although I know she can! After study I took her home and she napped. She woke up shortly before my piano lesson and boy was she in rare form! My students Mom always comes and her sister comes about three times a year and Ellie was showing off. First, she walked for them. Then she was talking almost the entire lesson (fortunately she's a quiet talker). Lastly she was trying to get the sister to put her up on the couch with her. What a stinker.
Following the lesson we drove out to Downingtown to pick up some music from a lady from church. When we came home I dressed Ellie up in her costume for the parade. The theme for the Halloween parade was cowboys so Ellie was a cowgirl. We ate a quick dinner of leftovers when Jon came home and headed towards Elverson.
We were the first to arrive at Nana and Pop-pop's house but soon Peter, Brittany, Amanda, her kids, and her sister and her kids showed up. The Bradshaws also joined our gang. Ellie's outfit was a bit confusing to Grandma Mountz since she looked like a boy, so Grandma asked a time or two if she was a boy or a girl. Ellie sat with Nana or Aunt Brittany the entire parade and her eyes never left the road. The parade lasted a little under an hour and after the last "float" Jon and I took Ellie up to the Office to see the Fentons, Iyas, Mimi & Pops, and other friends. Ellie hung out with Uncle Daniel and offered him her lollipop every few minutes. Very generous, Ellie. When we walked back to Nana's house Pop-pop had just arrived home from work (he teaches an evening class on Wednesdays) and they were about to eat some frozen pizza for dinner. They asked us to join them so we hung around until Ellie became cranky.

Ellieisms:
Ellie loves her shoes. When she comes across them she tries to put them on and becomes frustrated.
On Wednesday I was taking pictures of Ellie and Jon and Ellie looked right at the camera and smiled. I think she's caught on to what's happening.
