Tuesday: This Girl loves the iPad. She knows how to swipe it to find her Fisher-Price app. She got it off the side table while we were in the kitchen and this is how we found her.
Wednesday: Our Advent calendar activity was to make cookies and take them to someone outside our home. We made some Christmas chocolate chip and took some down to Chloe's house.
Thursday: Gracie is 20 months old!
Stats: 24-ish lbs. Size 18 month clothes, size 4 diaper, size 5 shoes.
Favorites: Giggle Gang app, Peg + Cat, duplo, Tubby book, having lots of rubber duckies in her bath, apple juice, cereal with milk, eating at the table like a "big girl".
Friday: Forecast of an ice storm = another snow day and more time to cuddle on the couch with Bubby.
Saturday: Lunch at Mama's favorite place. We asked Ella if she wanted to eat at Chickey-poo and she said "yay, Chickey-poo-poo!"
Sunday: One of the benefits of buying Christmas gifts using gift cards... fuel perks and cheap gas!
Monday: Here Mama, let me grade theses tests for you... This is why I don't bring work home.
Tuesday: First winter storm of the year = First snow day of the year. The snow didn't keep Handy from wanting to go get the Chinese we had on the dinner menu.
Wednesday: Someone is obsessed with "boogies". She thinks she needs tissues all the time. She found this box in the downstairs bathroom.
Thursday: Thanksgiving sled riding with Paw Paw. She lasted about 5 minutes and one trip down the hill.
Friday: Gracie loves to play with cousin Garrott. He tolerates her pretty well until she gets too close. Then he cries. Which makes her want to get closer...
Saturday: Sled riding with Mama and Dada. We made it longer than 5 minutes today. She let us pull her in the sled laying on her tummy and went down the hill twice with each of us... She may have been saying "no, no, no" the whole time.
Sunday: Sewing with Miss Carol! I want to learn to sew so we decided to make some easy infinity scarves. The first one was not super successful but these two turned out great.
Monday: I felt like a Scrooge with no Christmas decorations up after seeing everyone's decorations on Facebook. All of our decorations are going to be higher than toddler level this year. I figured there was no way she could reach the light in the dining room so we could hang ornaments there.
Tuesday: Aunt Amber decided to visit on her way home. The Girly was excited to have someone the play with.
Wednesday: This girl loves to get a bath! She always wants to play with the "duck ducks" and get "soapy soapy". She's good about taking showers too.
Thursday: Someone loves ice cream! Especially when it's chocolate.
Friday: More snow! We are supposed to get a pretty bad storm early next week. Maybe we will have a "white Thanksgiving"?
Saturday: We have conferences on Tuesday night so I decided to make cake mix cookies while the Girly was taking her nap. She was pretty excited when she woke up to a table full of cookies.
Sunday: We got a new advent calendar from Church today. Handy hung it up on the mantle. At least we have one Christmas decoration up.
Monday: Gracie wants to be a "helper" when we feed Bubby. She does pretty well carrying the cup across the kitchen but isn't so great a pouring the food in the bowl. Good thing Bevo doesn't mind eating food off the floor.
Tuesday: Handy decided to cuddle with the Girly in her bed instead of in our bed. She really didn't like sharing. I didn't know the crib was rated for 200 lbs!
Wednesday: Static electricity is not this girls friend. He hair is already crazy on its own and it gets even worse with all the fleece she wears.
Thursday: Hello 12 year old. Gracie is obsessed with the Giggle Gang app on my phone. She wants to play it all the time. I have no idea where she learned to lay on the floor like this when she plays with my phone. I'm pretty sure she's only 2 not 12.
Friday: We went to visit baby Dani. Ella had a great time playing with her Buddy and giving Dani "moochies".
Saturday: We went to see Gabby and Christian before Semi-Formal. Gracie even went with Gabby to get her hair done. She had never been to a salon before. She must have asked "doing?" about a thousand times.
Sunday: Benefit dinner for Troy Yoho. Dada bought some cookies for the girls from the bake sale. They were yummy.
Monday: We put a ticket in the raffle at the benefit yesterday and the called to tell us we won the crock-pot prize. We put one ticket in 3 different baskets so we were really surprised we won!
Tuesday: Ella Grace is 19 months old!
Stats: 22-ish lbs. Size 18 month clothes, size 5 shoes, size 3 diaper.
Favorites: raisins, Elmo, noodles, juice, black sparkle boots. (list dictated to me by Gracie when I asked her what she likes)
Wednesday: Handy made some Mexi-porkchops for dinner. We have been trying to find different ways to eat pork since we bought half a hog. I think these are my favorite so far.
Thursday: A little "helper" decided that while I was cleaning the bathroom it would be a good idea to unroll all the toilet paper. At least it wasn't a new roll.
Friday: This pup makes it really hard to get up and go get dressed in the morning. He sits on the couch with me when I eat breakfast. I don't know if he is more interested in cuddling or my peanut butter toast.
Saturday: Congrats Kimmy! We went to a baby shower for Kimmy and Mike. Gracie loved the Italian wedding soup and cupcakes they had to eat.
Sunday: Time to watch football!
Monday: 1st snow of the season! It covered the trees and grass perfectly and left the roads clear. I love snow even more when it melts from the streets and sidewalks!
Tuesday: Deer 1 - Coopie 0. I hit a deer on the way to work this morning. Scared the heck out of me. I didn't even really see it before it hit it. Thank goodness the damage wasn't worse and everybody in the car was fine. The deer ran off too.
Wednesday: Happy Halloween from "Elmo" Grace! They moved our trick-or-treat up one day. We weren't going to go after all the candy we got Sunday but the weather was nice and the Girly loves riding in her stroller.
Thursday: Poor Bubby! The Girl loves to chase him around the house while pushing her toys. He runs and she laughs and chases him.
Friday: Handy had to work overtime and I did all of the errands that the two of us usually do on Friday. I was so busy I forgot to take a picture!
Saturday: We went to the Reading Festival at the mall. One of my students painted kitty whiskers on Gracie's face. I couldn't believe she actually sat still long enough!
Sunday: We went to Miss Carol's to make bows for baby Dani. The Girl had fun playing with Gab and Crispy and sitting in the recliner with Timmy and Rusty.
Monday: We have had this air popper for years and never even got it out of the box. My mini-me is obsessed with popcorn so we are now using it twice a week. I'm glad we have it because it's so much less greasy that microwave popcorn.
Tuesday: The girls were matchy-matchy in brown pants and shoes. Handy said if I was going to start dressing us alike he was going to stop letting me buy her clothes. Ha!
Wednesday: The 5th and 6th graders put these in the teacher's mailboxes. I thought it was hilarious!
Thursday: Homemade Philly-steak and french fries. So good! Gracie was excited to eat the fries with "dippy". I think she ate more ketchup than fries.
Friday: The Girly got a Halloween gift in an "ow" bag. I think she was more excited about the bag than what was inside. Once she found out there were snacks in there she changed her mind.
Saturday: Gracie's 1st manicure thanks to Dada.
Sunday: Trick-or-treat with the Walker boys! I thought we would go around the block and be back home quick. She made it an hour and 45 minutes! She loved getting chocolate and ate some of it through the wrapper while we were walking around.
Monday: We went to see Gabby play Powder Puff football. The Girly would ring the cow bell and yell "Gabby!" whenever anyone cheered.
(we're still waiting on a picture from Miss Carol)
