Tuesday: Handy has the organizing bug. I'm not complaining because this is the cleanest our pantry has been in years.
Wednesday: It was supposed to be warm today so I wore a dress... pretty much froze all day but at least I looked cute while I was doing it!
Thursday: Miss Pat came to visit so a bunch of people from work went out to the Yard. Gracie did really well waiting at the restaurant and I was even able to talk with some of my old friends. It was great to catch up.
Friday: Nana's sweater is still a little big for the Girly. She thought she was a big shot in a LLBean sweater.
Saturday: Pumpkin pickin' with Cam. I couldn't believe they both sat on the bench and looked at the camera. Getting two almost 2 year olds to sit still is a miracle!
Sunday: We took Gracie's pumpkin to Nana's so Pappy could carve it. She picked an "ow" design. She wouldn't help clean it out but was super excited once it was carved. We put it on the porch and she says "ow!!!!" every time we come up the stairs.
Monday: We're famous! We went to get 18 month pictures done and saw our family photo in the photographers window.
Tuesday: This is what happens when Gracie gets to hold the soap. I was getting the cup to rinse her hair and she decided to take a bite. From the amount of coughing she did I don't think it tasted good.
Wednesday: So excited to use our new warmer! When I saw the Texas one in the Scentsy catalog I knew we had to get it for the living room. It looks awesome.
Thursday: The Girly wasn't feeling too good so Grams came to watch her and she got to ride in the new car. She wanted to take it for a test drive. 18 months going on 18 years.
Friday: No more Harness!!! Gracie's hips look awesome so she doesn't have to wear a harness anymore. It's been a year since she went into the Pavlik and now she doesn't even need to wear the Rhino Cruzer at night. Dada had to lower the crib mattress now that she can pick her legs up.
Saturday: We went to the Baby shower for Baby Garrott. We picked up the cake from Litty's on our way up to Nanny's house. The Girl was happy to play with her cousins and jump on the trampoline.
Sunday: Uncle Denzil has come kittens at his house so we took the Girly to see all the "ows". She was in kitty heaven.
Monday: Someone has been asking to sit on the potty. She doesn't use the potty but likes to flush it when she's done.
Tuesday: I took this before / after picture while Handy was pressure washing the deck. It looks so much better now that it's clean. We plan on staining / sealing it before the winter.
Wednesday: The Indians played for the AL Wild Card on Wednesday so Gracie had to wear her Tribe onesie. Too bad they lost.
Thursday: Butternut squash lasagna, salad and Italian bread. Super yummy supper! Thank you Pinterest!
Friday: I needed a "teacher" photo to send to my college so I had this one taken of me at school. I love it how I'm pretending to work.
Saturday: Ella Grace is 18 months old!
Stats: 22 lbs, Size 12-18 month clothes, size 5 shoes, size 3 diaper. 12 teeth (two more on the way)
Favorites: food - grapes, noodles, chips... books - "Tubby", Elmo books... toys - tricycle, purse, knocky-block. Still loves Elmo and Abby. Loves to go outside and go for walks. Talks like crazy! Her personality is coming out more and more, knows what she wants and wants to get things herself.
Sunday: Nanny and Paw-paw came down for lunch on Sunday and brought Anthony with them. Gracie had a good time playing with him. He wore her out though. She went down for a nap right after they left.
Monday: We went to visit Baby Garrott. He was so tiny and skinny! Gracie said "baby!" and gave him a kiss when we got there and then disappeared to play with Zachary. It was fun to get a baby fix and then leave him with someone else.
Tuesday: This girl is not a morning person... actually she's not a 6:00 am person. But who is?!?!
Wednesday: Fall Sunset. Saw this out the window when I got out of the shower. I knew it wouldn't look the same after I got dressed so I went running for my camera in a towel... Handy didn't even ask what I was doing. He must be used to me by now.
Thursday: Handy found us a cleaning lady. She's cute and she's cheap (we pay her in cheese puffs).
Friday: Gigi came down to watch the Girly. They had fun playing and going to garage sales together.
Saturday: The Girl has grown out of her size 4 shoes so we went shopping for some size 5 ones. I love these because they are pink, she loves them because they have "Abby" on the inside.
Sunday: Handy decided to get his new power washer out. We bought it last year when they were on sale at the end of the season. He wants to wash the deck and I want him to do the house.
Monday: Someone decided their toys needed a "time out". The Girly knows that she has to sit on the step for a time out when she plays in Bubby's food. I don't know what the poor toys did to get stuck on the step.
Tuesday: Mama's not the only girl that likes Project Life. Gracie likes to find the pictures of "baby" and "uff-uff" (translation: herself and Bevo).
Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner! Denver quesadillas and pecan sticky rolls. Yum!
Thursday: The Girly's peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into the shape of a fall leaf... Pinterest made me do it.
Friday: On nights when Gracie wants to ride on her bicycle for our strut she gets to wear her helmet. She thinks she's a big shot on her trike. We think she's pretty cute.
Saturday: A trip to the orchard = pumpkin photos! She had just been put into her harness the week before we went to the orchard last year. This year she's running around like a crazy woman.
Sunday: Time to get sauced! I was super excited to use the peeler/corer we got at a garage sale last spring. It made making applesauce so much easier. We did half a bushel in a little over an hour.
Monday: Ow was getting a little dirty so we decided he needed to take a bath. Of course the Girly has to have a kitty to cuddle so we got out our backup "ow". The orange one is named Tootsie after Miss Carol's orange ow.
Tuesday: We made our weekly trip to the library. The Girly loves to play with the computers and pick out books. (Mostly she plays with the computer and we pick out the books.) She likes to press the buttons and use the mouse.
Wednesday: This is one of the baby "ows" that we see on our daily struts. Gracie gets so excited when she sees any of them. We see: orange ow, daddy ow, mommy ow and 2 baby ows.
Thursday: Break the Grey came to school for an assembly. It was pretty good. Most of the older kids liked it. Some of the younger ones said he talked too much.
Friday: We went to the Minerva game so Gracie could see the cheer clinic girls. She did great and we were able to stay until the end of the 3rd quarter. The Lions won 28-21.
Saturday: Someone had an awesome time playing on the inflatables! The first time we took her through she fussed and said "no, no, no". As soon as we got to the bottom of the big slide at the end she said "again". By the end of the night she was even able to climb up the ladders.
Sunday: Everybody wore their orange and brown. We went to Nana's for lunch and to watch the game. Too bad the Browns lost.
Monday: I don't know who likes going for a strut more Bevo or the Girl. She climbed into her stroller herself and was mad when I told her we weren't going for a walk right then. She even says "stroller".
Tuesday: After school play time! Current favorite toys: rubber bands (she thinks they are bracelets), purse, play sweeper, tricycle and books.
Wednesday: Popsicles on the porch after supper. Gracie calls them "pop-ik-cles"
Thursday: Hollywood family on a strut! We have been trying to keep Bubby happy by going on a daily strut. The Girly has started to really like going in her stroller. She says "out-kide" and "strol-r" when she wants to go.
Friday: The Girl is 17 months old!
Stats: 21-ish lbs, size 18 month clothes (she still wears 12 month pants), size 4 shoes (not for much longer), size 3 diaper
Favorites: noodles, grapes, "cupcake" (anything sweet), playing outside, going for walks, Elmo and Abby, seeing the neighborhood "ows", picking her own snack, brushing her teeth, playing hide and seek (we hide and jump out when she comes in the room), putting her clothes in the hamper, says: outside, stroller, snack, cup, more, up, down, again, cupcake, hamper, Lari... pretty much anything we ask her to repeat.
Saturday: We went to watch Zach play soccer. He got to be captain since his birthday was on Sunday.
Sunday: It's GD Picnic time! These babies have grown so much over the last year. I still can't believe we got 4 kids 18 months and younger to sit still for a picture.
Monday: Chimichangas with avocado salsa. Olé! Handy made the chimichangas and I made the salsa. Even Gracie ate almost a whole chimichanga.
