Jesse’s Mom took the girls (Ellyn & Mally) shopping for new school clothes. Well Mallory found the exact outfit that Ellyn wears and she talked Grandma Mary into getting it for her.
On Ellyn’s last day with us they dressed in their matching outfits and they both needed their hair braided.
I would have to say that Ellyn had the best summer of her life. She loved every minute of it here and didn’t want to go home! She was able to take 4 weeks of summer school where she learned cooking and swimming. She didn’t know how to swim when she got here – she left knowing how to swim! Cooking… that’s still a little risky.
She was able to travel the country a bit. I think she was only out of Wisconsin once and that was to the twin cities.
My kids also loved having her here! It never got old for them. It did for Ellyn sometimes. She wanted her alone time and time for 10-year old stuff. For the most part though she did an awesome job with them.
She is already planning next summer… and it is staying with us again. I keep telling her that she might be old enough by then to spend the summer at home. She doesn’t think so.
