Princess Party

Gracie went to a birthday party for her friend Maddie. The invitation asked her to dress up like a princess and have clean, curled hair-because they would be getting new hairdos. As I was curling Gracie's hair, I got a phone call. After numerous explanations of how HOT my curling iron gets, and a gentle warning as I left the bathroom to answer the phone, moments later she came into my bedroom crying and had burned her face with the curling iron. I asked her, "Did you learn?" I think she may have. It scabbed up pretty bad over the next week and took a couple of weeks to heal. You can see the beginning of her burn on the last pic.

Gracie is at the kitchen table filling out her birthday card. I bought it from a mentally handicapped man who knocked on our door for 50 cents. He had nicely written "Happy Birthday" on the front in bubble type letters. I knew I would need a birthday card some day.

Gracie and Pyper pose before heading to the party. Gracie's face cracks me up in this pic.

Her new hairdo turned out super cute, I thought. My friend Angie thinks Gracie looks alot like Kelli. I think she may, in some ways.

Jill and Angie's Evening Bike Ride

Angie and I were heading to a neighbors house to see if their lights were still on before I called them. You see my blue tooth in my ear, ready for calling. Angie had a cool headlamp to light our way and we did some tire pumping and off we went. It was actually really fun. The neighbors lights were not on, so there was no phone calling.
