How a girl boxes

Lazy movie day

Today we have had a lazy at home day which has been nice after running around a lot for the past few days.
Yea for good movies and comfy clothes.

Mommy let Gracie and I watch a movie and eat popcorn. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and Gracie kept her hands clean by eating face first into the bowl.

Yea for Chick-fil-A

Tuesday night Chick-fil-A had princess night! Gracie and I got to dress up and have a fancy meal. This was so fun for me because it combined two of my favorite things. A big thank you to Big Daddy and Gigi for taking Gracie and me!

Summertime at Gigi's

Yesterday Gigi had all of us over to play at her pool. It was fun to have all the cousins there together.
Perry Catherine is just so cute. Aunt Claire is too!

Gracie and Perry Catherine had a nice time just relaxing in the pool together.

It is so rare that they get to just hang out and do nothing. Most of the time they are so busy trying to make their mothers feel needed. It was a great day for everyone I think. Thanks Gigi for hosting!

Spend the night party!

The Weaver girls came up to see us and have a spend the night party Monday night. We had a great time! I hope we can do it again soon.
Sweet cousins, and good friends.

Perry Catherine being soooo cute!

In other news, we are all so proud of Gracie. She is getting to be such a big girl. Here she is really talking on the phone to Aunt Laura and coloring. Already multi tasking at 22 months!!

The weekend

This weekend our Friend Reuben came to visit. We loved having him here.
Reuben is so sweet to read to Gracie and me. He is a pretty smart guy, and knows that reading to us will help us love to read ourselves.

We also got to meet Aunt Catherine and Uncle Brett's new puppy Murphy. I was a little nervous as you can see, but I think I will warm up to him and we can be good friends in the future.

He is so little and cute. He really likes Gracie's dress!

Lazy afternoon fun

Yesterday after naps Mommy let Gracie and Me decorate cookies. I made one for me and one for Daddy.

Gracie just made one for herself. Mostly she just ate the icing. She would put some on the cookie, and then lick it off. She never even took a bite of cookie. When all her icing was gone she handed the clean cookie to Mommy and said "all done."

Here is my cookie for myself. I figured out a way to get the maximum amount of icing and sprinkles on my small cookie. If you put on a layer of icing and then a layer of sprinkles it adds stability, and you can repeat the steps a number of times. I think there are 6-8 layers on my cookie.

Here I am reading to Gracie, or at least telling her about the pictures. She is always saying "read me!" Yesterday after a while I told her "you are making me crazy!" but then I went ahead and did it anyway. She does make me crazy, but she is too cute to say no to.
