What We've Been Up To

Field trips, lice (fun!), Grace's burgeoning acting career, spelling bees (1st grade 3rd place winner), pumpkin patches, Christmas, etc.

Max In Bed Last Night

"I am tired of this very long day."

Amen, sister.

A Small Peek Into Our World . . .

Maxie fell asleep on the couch. Sean was still at work. Grace was in the bath.

Grace: I saw soldiers on the news.

Mom: Oh, really?

Grace: Yeah. Are soldiers good guys or bad guys?

Mom: Um. Er. Well. Hmmmm. I mean. Ummm.

My final not so brilliant answer: "I guess it depends on what side they are on."

This did not end the conversation.

Of course it didn't.

So I tried diversionary tactics.

Mom: Hey, when you get out of the bath do you want to read The New Yorker with me? (I know, I know. But it *just* arrived and I needed a break. There might be kids in the world who find it fun)

Grace: No way. The New Yorker is totally boring. (Verbatim)

Mom: Well, what if you read a book and I'll read that right next to you?

Grace: Moooooooooooommmmmmm.

Lots of negotiations ensued. Grace ended up selecting her "How A Bill Becomes A Law" coloring book (I swear I did not give it to her) and tried to figure out a law she wanted to propose.

I proposed "when mommies want to read magazines, girls should be quiet." It didn't pass the "house."

Grace: So, are soldiers good or bad?

Summertime

This week Grace is at a day camp where she made 3 friends her first day. No real surprise there for those who know Ms. Personality. Maxie and Gabby are home with me.
