So Many Fun Things To Do!

These are pictures of when we went to the

Scarecrow Festival. They had so many

things to do. Grace found a princess blow up

jumping thing that she never wanted to leave,

but once she did she had a pony ride, which she

declared as her favorite part of the day.

A few weeks ago we went to the library for a

princess party. There were probably about 75

little princesses there, no joke. It was crazy.

They read about princesses, sang songs, made

necklaces, decorated cookies and got their fingernails

painted. This is what Grace is showing in the

picture, her pink fingernails. This goes with out saying,

Grace was in heaven!

Big Day!

Well today was a VERY big day for my little Gracie. She gets to wear her first pony tail to school today. She has been asking me for probably over a year now when she will be able to have a pony tail that goes down her back. While this one does not go down her back she is still very pleased! I am sure this pony tail will have come out by the time she comes home from school, but still today is a very exciting day for yes, my 3 1/2 year old!

Quirks

I love odd things that people do. I also love getting to the point in a relationship with someone where you know them well enough to know their quirks. My friend Chelsea does some of these top five lists and I think that they are fun, so basically I am going to copy her. Thanks for the idea Chels. So here are my top 5 quirks.

1. I only like even numbers. Now this one is not that rare, I know many people who have this same quirk. I know I scared Jamie a little bit when we were dating and I said that I couldn't really see having an odd number of children.
2. I hate when there are multiple switches for the same light, because then there is a chance that the switch will be up when the light is off.
3. I don't like to wear socks. Now this one really may just add up to me being lazy. But my favorite time of year is when I can wear flip flops, which I really continue to wear way to long and it just looks ridiculous with my outfits. Then when it gets too cold I usually wear some clogs without socks. This is bad because my shoes stink and sometimes I will get snow in my shoes when I am walking. This is usually about the time of year I then reluctantly switch to socks and shoes for a few months.
4. I step into my garment top. I am not really sure why this started, I think because I am usually getting dressed with a towel around my head so I figured it was easier to step into it, since garments are huge, rather than get it over my big towel. I didn't realize this was odd until I married Jamie and he couldn't stop laughing everytime he saw me do it.
5. I tap my fingers on the top of a soda can before I open it. Even once it's been brought to my attention that I do that, I still do it without thinking. I think someone told me to do that when I was little so that the pop wouldn't come shouting out. I have no idea if that even works.

Hope that wasn't too long, or too personal for you. So what are some of your quirks?

The End of Summer

Well for those of you who know Grace, you know that she loves flowers. She has spent the better part of her summer picking flowers. I have tried to keep her under control a bit by telling her that she can't just pick other people's flowers because she wants to. I have let her pick our flowers though, and it has been one of her favorite past times. So it makes me sad now that Fall is really here, she isn't able to go outside and play as often. But the other day she came in with all of these flowers and found this basket and said she was going to make a birthday basket for her dad. I was impressed that she thought to weave them in the basket instead of just putting them in. So here is a picture of my little flower girl who will have to wait awhile until she can begin picking again. Oh and try and not focus on the dirty house in the background!
