'close your eyes mom'

I hear this expression a lot. Grace is always wanting to surprise me. The other day while I was doing the dishes, she was up to some good (little did I know). Luckily she documented (with pics) the whole thing.

before
(I must admit I'm a bit embarrassed by this pic, cause this is how it usually looks)

after
(somehow this little 4 yr old made our bed all by herself. She even had the flat sheet where it should be.)
I must say, this time I was surprised!

Dear Grace,

Mom said that you started something called preschool. All I know is, you are gone forever and it seems like you'll never come back. But just when I think that, you come home. I miss playing with you, sharing my trucks with you. But you seem really happy to go. So, I'll see when you get home.

(your first day of school)

(my favorite past time)


(look what mom made me do while you were gone)

love,

clark

once upon a time...

there lived a little ballerina who danced and danced all day long (Mondays mostly). Before she knew it, class was over.

As were her swimming lessons.

Her little brother even tried to get a piece of the water action any chance he could get.

But alas, she found other ways to fill up her days. Like hang-out with her #1 fans.

And her little brother also found things to do in his spare time, like play football with his dad.

the end.
