Our Saturday

Today was our Mommy &  Gracie day.  I woke up knowing I wanted to be out of the house for awhile and decided to do a little bit of shopping.  After stopping at Payless to hit the BOGO sale, we headed to Tuesday Mornings.  Aunt Joy introduced me to this store (and discovered one closer to my house) that has great “after market stuff.”  For example, I got the cutest “peek-a-boo” book and Parent’s brand puzzle (since Gracie is so into puzzles right now) for $11.00.  I went to Target this afternoon and the same puzzle was $10.00.  It also has a bunch a neat house type stuff too. 

After our little (it was really little I spent less then $20 bucks) we went to Chili’s for lunch.  When Matt has Daddy & Gracie days he always takes her out to breakfast and I realized that I haven’t ever taken Gracie out to a sit down restaurant just the two of us and I know it sounds silly but we had a blast.  While waiting for our food, we read her new book and the 2 we had in her bag.  Played a little bit, sang a little bit, and then we ate.  It was so nice, there was no cell phone going off, no distractions just a simple meal with my girl that I didn’t have to cook or clean up after.  It was nice.

It was off to Gymboree for our next to last Saturday there.  We are going to miss it but honestly, the last couple of weeks Gracie has been really fussy transitioning into the next activity.  She knows the schedule a little too well and even though when she is not fussy she is fun but when she is not happy, she is not happy.  So, it might be a good time to move on and do other things. 

Well, I am finally off to bed, but here are a few pictures from today.  We are dog sitting and she loves Precious.  For some reason she thinks Precious is a play thing and not another puppy…she tries to put her “nighty night” a lot.  She also is very demanding towards Precious.  We were outside letting the puppies go potty and apparently Precious wasn’t moving as fast and she wanted her too, Gracie shoved her very gently (I was actually impressed it wasn’t a harder shove) in the booty and told her to “go.”  It was really hard to explain to her not to kick puppies without cracking a smile.  Either way…that is the other dog you see in the pictures.

She likes to cuddle with Precious…Precious is a little more timid and less hyper then Daisy & Harley.

 

I just thought this was too cute.

 

See that look, that is what she does when she is either not listening or getting ready to do something she knows she is not supposed to do. ha ha!

 

Smiles for Mommy

 

“Go Precious go!”

Chasing all the bubbles…one of her 2 favorite times of Gymboree.

Up, up, up we go!

She chased this ball around after throwing it for at least 10 minutes!

It was “Through Day” today.  She was going through the ring on her own!  I was so proud of her!!!
