Today was another beautiful autumn day.
Really, this has to be the prettiest autumn yet -- such rich colors, and gloriously sunny afternoons.
And today we got to take advantage of it outside with a friend's birthday party!

| Ella on the left, Tzippy on the right -- both princessed out~! |
Little Tzippy turns 4 tomorrow, so today her lovely family held a "ladybug" themed birthday party. To fit with that theme, our contribution of food was ladybug-esque homemade oreos.
 |
| The frosting in the middle was "red" |
 |
| Miniature marshmallows make the eyes |
 |
| The finished product looks more like muppet monsters... @_@ |
I think they went over quite well! I gotta tell you, it is hard to just have one of these little oreos. So...darn...addictive!!
How ironic that my first blog post on them was almost 4 years ago to the day. My, how time flies!!
Ella Rose also wore her black leotard and red tights to look like a ladybug...and the cake at the end was a delicious red velvet cake. YUM!!
Also, while we were there, we got to release real ladybugs into the local park! What a nice act of kindness to the landscaping department, no? :)

| William inspecting one -- they are tough enough to withstand his grabby toddler hands |
And what was coolest of all, was that we got to take home some ladybugs too!
 |
| Their little home~ |
Ella Rose now has 5 ladybugs in her care named Rachel, Clara, Kate, Laura, and Louisa. She is really enjoying taking care of them, and hopefully they will last longer than "Diana the Snail" from back in early Summer -- bleegh >_<
Well, that is all for now.
Who'dve guessed we'd be enjoying ladybugs at this time of year? :)
Wish us luck with our little ladybug adventures, and until next time -- take care and Happy Ladybugs!!
