Grace has gotten to do so much lately. She got her nails done with me, goes bowling every weekend with Paul, went to the fishing show with Paul, Ricky and Olivia and because of her preschool, she has already taken three field trips this year. First she went to the pumpkin patch back in the fall. Then she went to Lewis University to see the play, Alice in Wonderland which she loved. She was afraid of the bunny in the play but wanted to watch the movie at home, which of course we did.
This week was Catholic Schools Week so all week was celebrating. Monday was Grandparents day which Grace got to bring her Grandma to. They attended a mass, bought books at the book fair, and of course had treats. Paul's mom told me that Grace knows all her prayers, the pledge of allegiance and lots of other stuff that she never does for us at home.
Tuesday, Grace got to continue the celebration and go to the movie theatre to see Wreck it Ralph. I was hesitant to send her because I wanted to take her to the movies first but I let her go. Turns out, she didn't like it. The girls she normally plays with at school didn't go so I think that had a lot to do with it. Grace told us that it was too loud and dark and the screen was too big. She told me she likes watching movies at home better. She did however like her popcorn and fruit punch:).

Charlotte and Grace
Charlotte as I write this is currently upstairs in her bed singing to herself. She cracks me up. She knows the words to so many different songs, it is hard to keep up. She has a crazy memory and never ceases to amaze me. Currently she is in love with babies. Any baby she sees, she wants to hold their hand, chin, toes, you name it. I have to tell her to be gentle but since the days of strangling Max she has gotten much better. She still goes back and forth about whether or not I am having a boy or girl but I am happy she is going to love the baby. She may be jealous because she often wants her mommy and wants all my attention but I feel like she will adjust well.
Grace continues to be so easy to handle on her own when she isn't fighting with Charlotte. I took her to get her nails done this month and although she didn't speak the whole time we were there, as soon as we left, she said, "that was so fun!" She is exactly like Paul. You can't tell when they are having a good time but they are. She is still very shy in a group of people. She even is like this when it is people she knows. She loves to do "crafts" and is getting very handy with scissors. She currently has mastered writing her name which is Grace A. This is because there is another Grace at school so she signs everything with the "A". If I write her name and forget it, she gets upset and adds it in. She also writes mom, and dad and can recognize some words. She gets mad when Charlotte sings in the car and definitely has picked up some of my attitude.
A few random thoughts from Grace lately include
"Charlotte, you can't have that candy until after you eat your dinner."
"I want a baby sister because I don't like boys."
"Those look weird," referencing my boobs.
"We don't need another Paul because we already have one," when asking about a baby brother's name.
"Charlotte, you colored that very well."
"Don't tell c.a.r.h.a.r" attempting to spell Charlotte. Apparently I spell things a lot.
And in case I already didn't mention it in a post, "I want a baby sister because then we can get rid of Charlotte."
The other thing the girls do all the time is pretend they are dogs. They go around barking and crawling and sticking their tongues out. It is hilarious. That's all I can think of for now. Still waiting for Charlotte to get enough hair to do something with. I'll post some pics soon.
