Earrings!

Yesterday, I suprised Gracie and let her get her ears pierced.
We were waiting for her 8th birthday, but I suprised her and took her three weeks early.

On the way there. She was so excited (and a little scared).

It went quickly.

This is right after.

Still a little nervous from the pain.

Not enough to cry.

She said it was like getting an indian burn and

that it didn't hurt as much as she thought.

Happy early birthday Grace.

You were very brave and

You look so beautiful with your new sparkles!

We got some rollerblades from the thrift store the other day for Grace.
She begged to put them on, but I wouldn't let her until I got some wrist guards.
(I still remember the rasberry I incurred on my first rollerblade attempt when I was... well a long time ago.)

All I kept thinking was, "Is this a good idea?"

Of course it was.

She loved it.

dimples!

It was fun.

Adventure makes her light up inside.

And what an incredible light she is.

"To infinity and beyond..."

We have had four fish in the last week.

When the first one died, the girls were sad. (sad face)
So we went and got two more.
Dead.
Dead.
Then the last one.....
yes, you guessed it..... Dead.
Now the girls are like...."Whatever". (roll eyes)

Some wise person told us not to buy fish at Walmart because they don't last long!
Yes, now we know. They were all from Walmart.
Next time we are off to a pet shop or maybe Petsmart - Yeah, they'll have good fish!
Right?
Right?
It's not my fault.
Right?
No, it can't be.
How hard is it to keep fish?

Gracie said, "Well Mom, I guess Jesus wasn't done with them yet."
Goodbye little fishies.
