Grace Funnies...

Today, while I was repairing a book that Grace tore the pages out of, she wandered up and pointed to the tape.

I said, "Mama is fixing this book because someone tore the pages out. Grace, do you know who did it?"

She looked at me with those big eyes, and said, "Mimi".

Blaming her cousin (Nomi aka MiMi) already.

who could blame this innocent little face??

The other day, Grace was in rare form, and I was dreading the errands I had to run. I thought about just giving up and not going, but I literally had no bread or cheese and, more importantly...no Mucinex!! (a MUST!) So, we loaded up for our adventure and went to Sam's.

Grace did pretty well throughout the short trip, and I thought we should get a treat to reward ourselves (her for being good....me for surviving the day).

I asked for a small Icee and got a HUGE Icee instead.

Turns out, Grace is a HUGE fan of Sam's now.

Grace is still obsessed with wearing anything as an accessory. After the Mud Run, my sister dropped by to drop something off at my house. My extra change of clothes (clean) that I had brought to the mud run (but didn't use) were sitting on a kitchen chair. Cara and I were chatting, when all of a sudden, Grace comes prancing in like this:

Yes, that is flowered underwear on her head, and a sports bra around her neck.

Needless to say, Cara and I couldn't control our laughter.

Speaking of accessorizing...Grace isn't an accessory snob. She also will use pretty much whatever is handy to be a hat. The girl obviously got my sense of style. Sorry, Grace.

Grace is a very expressive little girl. I've been trying to capture her 'silly' face for a while, but she has been evasive. This is the closest I've gotten to it. But, if you can imagine this face with her lips pulled in like a old granny face, then you know what it looks like.  We used to just say, "show me your silly face" and she would oblige us, but she has gotten wise of us trying to get a picture. Now it only comes out when she is acting surprised. Either way...it is still hilarious. 

And she knows it.

We had family home evening tonight, and then we had our family/nightly prayer. Throughout the prayer, Grace put one arm around me, and then pulled her dad in closer to put her other arm around his neck. She would give us a family hug, and then fold her arms again. A few seconds would pass, and then she would do it again.

Melted my heart.
