Grace's Prayers

I just have to write some of the things Grace says in her prayers.  She says them very seriously. 

"Thank you for eating wiggly things."
"Thank you for not bumping into anybody and making them fall down."
"Thank you for eating eggs or whatever."
"Thank you for going for rides on cows or moos or horses or something."
"Thank you for going to a future."

I'm sure there will be more super Gracie prayers to come!

Joey's Second Gem of the Day

Two gems in one day!  Way to go Joey!

Here is how our conversation went.  It happened when I was doing the laundry and Joey climbed on my bed behind me and started rubbing my shoulders because he had earlier heard me say that my neck hurt.  Then he noticed something on my back.

Joey: "What's this gooey thing?"
Mom: "It's a mole."
Joey: "Moles are wiggly?  And jobbly?  And gooey?"
Mom: "Wow."

Gem of the Day

This one is courtesy of Joey.  We were getting into the car after preschool, and Grace accidentally bumped Joey.  He said, "Gracie!  I'm very dissapointed of you!"

Bandaids and Time with Friends!

I was cleaning the bathroom the other day, and I turned around and saw this:

She had an "owie" on her lip, so she did this by herself.  I love how she didn't take off the outside of the bandaid.  This lasted for about three minutes.

We had our favorite family over last night for music lessons and fun.  Best of all, Melissa got to run errands kid free!  Here are some pics of the fun.

Joey was corrupting Ryan, who wanted to be just like the big boys (all six of them!)

We always play the Wii, of course.  It gets a little messy.

Lydia and I spent a lot of time on the piano.

And Rachel was content just to draw.
