Look Out Mama!

That's Gracie's current mantra. All of a sudden Gracie seems to be able to do it all. She can go down the slide at the playground all by herself! After assistance up the ladder of course, but once up at the top, look out! She pushes herself off and flies down.

She also loves somersaults, and I find her with her head down on the carpet ready to show off her new skill all throughout the day.

The best of the best though is her favorite new game. Climbing onto the bottom bunk of Jonah's bed and standing on the bed. Oh yes. Mama has sprinted across the house several times to discover our little monkey jumping on the bed with that ornery grin on her face as she dives into the covers to try and escape her fate.

Toddler hood has arrived ready or not!

Oh Lonely Forgotten Blog....

I promise I am still here. I just cannot seem to get back into my routine since Kevin left us once again. My laundry is still not caught up. I finally steam cleaned my floors for the first time in weeks last night at midnight. Groceries are few and far between. Bills are sitting idle. Everything feels off and like a huge weight yet again.

To top it off we sold the house, bought a new one, and have to move out in a month. My Wamego safe havens are getting ready to be flipped upside down. I am excited to move, but unexcited as well. Scared for my kids to start again, and truthfully me as well. Making friends in the neighborhood has never been a strength of mine. It took me 1 1/2 years to befriend my neighbors in Wamego. Now we are moving away from some of our dearest friends.

I know it's all worth it, and the change will only bring positive results and blessings in the end. It's just getting to that point that is the hard part.

Hairbow Holder Project

Gracie's hair has started to grow a lot within the past month. It seems to get darker by the day, and she has little curls at the base of her neck. In preparation of the bangs to come, I have started making lots of hair bows and clips. I needed a place to put all of the clips, thus the photo frame project began.

I paid $2.25 for a frame at the local thrift store. Bought a can of pink spray paint and went to work. Brown ribbon and a glue gun completed the project. Now if only I had a wall to hang it on. She definitely needs her own room.

Gracie Can Finally Clap!

After months and months of trying to get her to clap, tonight she did it!! She clapped and was so proud of herself she continued to clap all night.
