Do you smell something?

The bug

Five of us just got over one yucky stomach bug.
Joe was the first one to get sick. He asked me, "why did I get sick?"
"Oh, you just picked up a little bug."
"How does that make you sick?"
"Well, it gets into your body and your body has to fight to get rid of it and that's what makes you feel sick."
long pause
"I pick up daddy long legs... but I don't eat them."

More mud

Since it didn't rain that day, Courtney had to make a puddle with the hose for the boys. So Grace saw this puddle from the door window and went nuts. "No, you're not going out."
So she tugged on Paige and pointed to the door and gave her usual "ooh ooh ooh"
"No, I'm not bringing you out."
So she tugged on Grandma and pointed and oohed. Well, you know what happens when you ask Grandma, right?

Her birthday is coming, you know

"I like this doll here"



"Ooh, I like this one, too."



"Ya know what? I'm just gonna rip this page out, we can stick it on the fridge so you wont forget."

Finally, some new pictures

What, Me dirty?

I sent Grace out with the girls to play, forgetting that it had rained the night before and there was one puddle in the driveway with her name all over it. Within five minutes she had soaked up the whole puddle and her dress was a sopin mess.



Five minutes later, we're at the garden. I have found this year that tomato juice comes out of clothes just fine so I didn't panic.



In the next five minutes, she found Joe's BBQ sauce container from McDonald's while I wasn't looking. I figured, she's already got it all over her, might as well get a few pictures. Not sure if BBQ sauce comes out yet or not.
