Cheshire day!!!! lines are "down" costumes ready...last dress rehearsal. 1 week to go...if you are in the "greater" Newtown are next Wednesday the 3rd at 5pm at Hawley elementary....it will be an event!!! Another Mommy caught me at a red light this morning wannabe hiphop dancin and singing. Even more embarrassing was that when I rolled down my window to shamefully say Hello...She heard that it was actually Radio Disney!!!!! Man! Can't even remember the last time I felt cool...or, normal! :)

object of interest= the ever present "monochromatic factor" in each outfit!!!
keepin it "dope!" ( that's MOMMY'S comment, not G)

It will be a sad day when the pink chihuahua t-shirt is too small. Of course, Jackson came downstairs on Sunday wearing his old pirate shirt with the snap shoulders size 12-18 months. Mommy REALLY needs to clean out his drawers. 1/2 day today...so another trip to Michael's for birthday stuff!! woohoo!

object of interest= 5 DAYS UNTIL THE PARTYYYYYYYY!

and also, the following picture of crazy supermodel leggies Jackson.(so unfair! my boots totally do not look like that on my leggies! hahah)

this is the "cheshire smile" even on a rainy day. today is the first day of "ice cream for haiti"....speaks straight to G's heart. 9 days until the big show!!!! last night she forgot what her next line was last night...and said "LINE!" to me....yeah, they should have never given that option to these thespians. haha

object of interest=well...the smile! love her (even though she rolled eyes and sassed me last night about how she was gonna stay up all night and read her script...while pushing me out of the way to get it off her desk!!!!!!"


yeah, that equaled the NAUGHTY CHAIR!!!

my girl. she asked me if she really looks like a butterfly...I said, "well, not exactly. but you are the most beautiful girlie I've ever seen!" and she paused and said,"all I can do is my best mom." she kills me.

object of interest= the tights...oh, the tights

next to normal

ahhhhhhhh! Back to school! Pulled her gripping the pillow hands out of bed this morning. But , we made it. Daddy got 2 hours of sleep, Jackson only got up 3 times and Gracie "slept" with me for a 5 hour block in the middle of the night....SO, all in all, a good night! haha

object of interest= what got her actually excited about school.....Mommy reminded her about the "new pencils" and that today is Gym day at school. woopeee! She was rarin to go.

10 days until the party of the century. going to party city for 30 Mad Hatter hats. wish me luck! :)

c'mon Gracie, you can do it....put a little power to it!!!!!!
At least its not "Annie" again....We're putting Skeletony back together...He had a terrible accident and all the parts of his body fell off. Tragedy.
object of interest= Jackson pounding around in their little kitchen saying "super heroes can cook.aaargh!" of course, they still have bandaids on their faces too! ha

Flu 2010 style

First official Douglas flu of the decade.....no school, head resting on giant "spitoon", constant chills, and fevers...G is NOT a happy camper. The fire is goin and the Annie marathon is already on round 2 for the day!!!! Its a hard knock life guys...a hard knock life

object of interest= Jackson slept in until 8:30 this morning..came downstairs COMPLETELY NAKED, and declared" it smells a little bit stinky like peanut butter that comes from an airplane in the sky in New York City!" I'm beginning to think these logs we are burning are laced with somethin!!!

Turn the beat around....

January, originally uploaded by chickenafro.

The tears and the drama...all before 8am. I should win a Golden Globe for the theatrics performed Mi Casa. Anything to turn the mood around. It all came down to solving the mystery(not such a mystery,in fact) of the sad mood. G then walked around saying nothing but " VERY interesting!" in response to EVERYTHING I said. "drink your milk Gracie..."VERY INTERESTING". "Eat your vitamins..."VERY INTERESTING". "Go potty..."VERY INTERESTING!" Beats the crying, eh?

Object of interest= The ear muffs!!!!! "VERY INTERESTING!"

flashback!!!

Just can't seem to get it together to take a pic in the morning! Soooooo, this is a fun look back at G at exactly Jackson's age. Always a nutjob in a costume...always.
object of interest= props that later went on to become Mommy's DJ Lance Rock costume
ha
We're so cool, no?

monday

monday, originally uploaded by chickenafro.

AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhh! The day after the big day. G said," I wonder if they'll notice that I look six now" probably, since she looks 14!haha! She wore her b-day crown and new Alice shirt. We have family party pics up over on flickr....mayhem, and the "friends" party doesn't even happen until the 31st! We took G to the "princess and the frog" and to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. If you live near one, I highly recommend it. It rocked Gracie and Jackson's world.

object of interest= the new creepy cheshire cat lunchbox from her fav...Hot Topic!!!!(it might get sent home forever, if it scares the other kids!haha)

Well Hello there everyone! Soooo...Gracie turns 6 in a few days. BUT, as you can see from this picture, she is actually 14!!!! plus for her birthday, she had us remove all dolls and baby stuff from her room to make room for the "big girl" desk for writing books and art experiments! sad but proud at the same time...
object of interest= still wearing the "sharpay" tights( HSM) so...she hasn't completely let go of the innocent past!hahahah
