Monday Morning Musings - Grace

I really hope when glue says it is non toxic, it really is. Aubrey made valentine picture with candy conversation hearts glued on it back around Valentines day. She left it where Addison could get it and Addison picked off and ate every single heart. Emily just brought a picture home this weekend that she made at school that also had candy hearts glued on it. I just found all the hearts in Addy's mouth. Maybe that's why she's so sick.......



Addison has all of a sudden become very opinionated. And she has learned how to express herself and try to get what she wants. JOY.



This morning Addison learned that she can now reach my makeup drawer. And she learned that she can open it. And she learned that she can pull EVERYTHING out of it. And she learned that she can open everything in it. And she learned that she can make pretty pictures on herself and anything around her with the contents of the drawer. And she learned that it is really fun to dig around in a lipstick case with tweezers.



Steve and I were watching a show last night on HG TV and it was a top 10 kitchen show. We have found the EXACT way we want to decorate our kitchen. I am so excited. It is just what I wanted in my head and now I have a picture to go with it. I just looked it up and here it is:

We found these red cabinets at IKEA and wanted so bad to use them but we thought it might be too much red. I love how they just did some of the cabinets here in red and the rest in maple. These are the exact colors I have been wanting to do. You can't see the rest of the kitchen but they have pear green accents in it and like I said, these are the exact colors and style I wanted. I had pretty much talked myself out of the red cabinets, but I am back on track. Aren't you excited for me?

Yesterday, I exhibited extreme grace as I tripped on something and stubbed my pinkie toe. I swore it was broken. But I am thinking now that it isn't. It is just all blue and purple from the top of my toe all the way down about an inch into my foot. It is killing me to wear shoes but when I don't have my shoes on I seem to have a problem of re injuring it. Just call me Grace.

(Grace, she passed away thirty years ago. GRACE. They want you to say GRACE. THE BLESSING!!!! I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.....)

Just in case you have no idea what just happened:

Yesterday Zac got in a little trouble. Ok, a lot of trouble. So I took away all of his privileges for this whole week. This morning when he was getting ready to go to school he said, "Mom, shouldn't I stay home from school today? You did take away all my privileges and going to school is a privilege. There are a lot of kids in the world who don't have the privilege of going to school."

The song now stuck in my head:

Why? Because of these lyrics of course:
GRACE Kelly, Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen,
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rodgers, dance on air
They had style, they had GRACE

Do you know Madonna turns 50 this year. HOT DANG!!! I'm 34 and I can't do what she does.
