Our little Princess

The princess
Every time I pick up Grace from Mother’s Day Out my first question is “how did she do today”. Today when I asked the teacher how things went she began to laugh…. out loud. I put on my parent seatbelt and waited for the other shoe or snicker to drop. Ms. Cindy smiled as she told me that when Grace was assigned the job of door holder she informed Ms. Cindy and the class that “Today I am a princess and princesses do not hold doors.”
I can’t wait to hear what she says when they make her snack helper!


When we arrived home we practiced how to be a door holder with a happy heart.


The Dirt Pile
Because we continue to landscape and do dirt work around the house there is a big dirt pile in our back yard. I can only image the attraction this holds for a child. Any time Scott and I look away for even a second we know that is where Grace is headed. The other day Grace, Charis and I were playing in the back yard. The wind got to be too much for Chairs so I took her inside. As I laid Charis down I looked out the window to check on Grace. There she was stripping on top of the dirt pile. By the time I got to her she was naked and singing songs like she was staring in a Broadway musical. Fortunately we currently do not have neighbors … however I can only imagine what the construction workers two houses down thought about the whole scene.

Ahhhhh, thank you for the belly laugh. I used to stand on top of my slide as though it was a stage and sing Captain & Tennille songs at the top of my lungs. Surprisingly enough I usually wore clothes, but not much - my full, white satin slip pulled up under my arms so that it looked like I was wearing a strapless dress.

Tell me you took pictures of that scene and just aren't posting them??

Love that girl. I wish I had a dirt pile.

There is NOTHING about this post that isn't precious and all of it can be used for blackmail during her teenage years!!! BTW...thanks for the comment on my kite post...my mom checks the blog regularly and I'm waiting for a 'your a mom now and you can't do that stuff' kind of phone call!!!! :) Anyway, I know you'd be climbing that tree with me....at the drop of a dime!
