Finally Friday

Our household has made it to Friday. I didn't know if it would happen after all of the sickness. Brent just continues to feel yucky, but today he went back to school. Gracie woke up peppy enough to go to preschool this morning. Now it's just Ella and me and the house is a wreck from everyone being home all week. I didn't know where to start on the house, so I thought I'd start here with a funny Gracie story. One morning while sick Brent thought muffins sounded good, so I made chocolate chip muffins to interest Gracie. Miss Picky eater quickly ate one and said, "I can only have one, right?" I said, "Do you only want one?" Gracie replied, "Well, if you said I could have two I would be surprised!" I guess she's used to me saying, "Just one cookie...you can only have one cookie." It was funny enough to get Brent laughing through his pain.

Later the same day...

Well, the laundry is caught up, the dishwasher is unloaded, Brent's shirts are all ironed, blah, blah, blah. I got quite a bit done, I guess. Then Ella and I picked up Gracie from preschool. She had a fabulous time learning the letter U. When we got home however, she seemed very tired. I asked Gracie if she wanted to lay down and she didn't. Later I turned the TV on so she could watch Curious George, and the picture tells the rest. When I reentered the room, she was sacked out on the couch. I guess we're still a little bit puney. Gracie napping allowed me a few minutes to snap some new pics of Ella. I propped a blanket in her Bumbo Seat and it worked pretty well to hold her up. I can't wait for her to smile!
