Funny Stories

So I really don’t have much to say about our weekend other then it was the same thing as last weekend, which is becoming the new norm.  Quite honestly, I like it.  We have made a vow to stay home more.  This weekend we did get ready for all of our guest that are coming.  My mom comes in on Tuesday night and stays until Tuesday morning at 7 then Matt’s mom and grandma come in at 11:15 that same Tuesday.  So we will be having guests for 2 full weeks.  We are really excited. 

Even though I don’t have much to share, I do have a few funny stories and pictures to share:

We were playing out in our front yard, which we don’t do very often since we live on a busy cul-de-sac.  It’s not too busy but busy enough that we aren’t out there very long.  You can almost see the twinkle in her eye along with the look on her face that she is about to do something she knows she is not supposed to do.  In this case, it was take off across the drive way (not in the road) when she was “confined” to the rock area where she is.  She is such a stinker, but I love this picture because you can see how ornery she can be!

 

Speaking of onery, if you can’t hear her, she is usually getting into something she isn’t supposed to do.  However, in this picture she is just reading a book, which she does love.  But, you do notice that she is missing a piggy tail.  She likes to pull them out now when she is “mad” at mommy.  She has figured out how to do the little things to annoy me.  Luckily she isn’t doing it as much as she was last week.  I am hoping she “forgets” about pulling them out. :)

Little Miss Grabby Hand….that is what Gracie is.  She is now tall enough to get into the pantry and pull out snacks.  I do try to keep them out of her reach, but as you can see in this picture…that did not happen.  She pulled the marshmallows out, dumped them on the floor, brought me the empty bag with a mouth full of marshmallows, and said “Mama, good, mmmmmm.”  I laughed so hard.  You can see how full her mouth is by the puffy cheeks!

As I was picking them up, she kept shoving them in her mouth.  Trying to keep an almost 2 year old and 2 poodles who have a daily job of vacuum cleaner, away from the pile of marshmallows, was not easy…most were consumed and did not make it to the trash!

After we went and ran an errand today, we came home to have left over pizza.  Most of you parents know that anything red does not go well with white shirts.  So I took off her shirt to eat.  Well, she would not put her shirt back on so she ran around without one for most of the day.  I walked around the corner to take laundry upstairs and noticed Gracie was sport an plumber’s crack!  I thought it was too cute.  You see that she still has her baby, she was putting her nighty night on the stairs.  :)

And just because I can never resist a picture of her baby blues!
