Fortune Cookie

It was just my Mom, the kids, and I for dinner the other night, so we ordered Chinese food.    After dinner I gave Grace a fortune cookie.  She cracked it open and asked me to read it to her.  Not 30 seconds later she told me the following joke...

G:  "Mommy, why did the chicken cross the road?"

Me:  "I don't know."

G:  "Because he fell on his hiney bum!  Hahahahahahahaha!"  [Hysterical laughter at herself.]

That fortune cookie was spot on!!

No More Paci...

On Monday, the 7th, I stopped the paci addiction.  RJ would go into the kitchen and point to the draw where they were kept and whimper.  He cried only for a short while at nap or bedtime.  I thought he did very well considering he LOVED his paci.  He was a real trooper.  How did he make the transition so well, you ask?  He now sucks his thumb.  Oy vey!

THOSE EYES!!!!

Perfection!!

Not only do I see outer beauty when I look at this picture, but I also see inner beauty.  Humor, imagination, wonder, tenderness...just plain perfection.

 RJ looks just like his Daddy when he sleeps!

These feet!  I just love these little tiny feet!  I was holding them the other day, admiring how soft and smooth and clean they were.  I savored that small moment in time, because I know one day these precious little piggies will be hairy, stinky, sweaty, and pretty much disgusting teenage boy feet!  Got to live in the moment, right?

(Disclaimer:  Even when these feet are hairy, stinky, and sweaty, I will still love them because they belong to the most amazing little boy EVER!  I won't want to hold them and kiss them, though....yuck.)

Gracism

Grace:  "Mommy, do you know why ghostess don't eat?"

Me:  "No, I don't.  Why?"

Grace:  "Because they can't sit down."  

Horseback Riding

Dunny likes Grace's boots!

Ready to ride!

Grace grooming Tiani the Terrible.

We went to our cousin's house so I could take pictures of Brittany and Brianna with their horses.  Grace got to groom the Tiani the pony and ride her.  Brittany then took Grace for a ride on Dunny.  Grace had a blast!!

Hula Dance

Grace did the hula dance at every house we went to.  She would say "Trick or Treat!", then start doing the hula.  She ROCKS!!!

Halloween!!

Dessert!!
