Well I never claimed to be a seamstress.. I've never even claimed to be creative when it comes to the glue gun. BUT, last night I had no choice. After A being sick for 2 days, and then being out for 8 when we went to Hawaii, I was a bit out of the loop. I found out at 4pm yesterday that he had to dress 'German' for International Day today. This is my 9pm attempt at lederhosen..If you make your eyes kinda squinty and cock your head just a bit, it works...

Aloha!

It's been a while. Things have been going on in Gracieland that haven't really been fit for Gracieland. Sad things. Heavy things. But, as the show must go on, so must life and so must the happenings in Gracieland.
It has been hectic. HEC-TIC. With A in 1st grade, we have crazy sized homework packets, lots of reading to attend to, and lots of activities that mom has to prepare for. Like, for example, deciding how A should dress up for tomorrow's International Day. His class is German. Where do I get a German outfit at 5:15pm on a Thursday night? And why, you ask, did you leave putting on the German costume until the night before? BECAUSE I didnt know about it! We have been in Hawaii, A has been out of school for a week and a half, and (I double checked) nowhere on the hand-outs does it say to dress German. This I find out today, his first day back. So why, you ask, have I decided to start up this blog again rather than do what it is that I'm supposed to do? Well it's simple. I'm lazy and I like to procrastinate, especially when I have NO IDEA what to do.
Anyway, we have dealt with some family stuff, no worries, in the end everyone is happy and healthy and still here. Thats what matters most.
We went on a vacation. A MUCH needed, happy, family vacation. Of course, Gracie came along.

Gracie LOVED Hawaii  



And of course, so did A.!

Checking in From Gracieland

It's been a long time since I've posted, but there has just been so much going on, both inside and outside of Gracieland. Gracie is still going, stronger than ever. Quite the little troublemaker. As you can see, he has taken up football...

And he's also managed to earn his Black Belt in Karate

And score a sweet pair of shades...

Night Night

I snuck this pic the other night when the kid was sick. Sweetness.



This post was inspired by my dear friend who, by texting me with questions about Gracie,  has lead me to believe that she may have lost her mind completely on her day long drive back from Sacramento with her (adorable, never makes a peep and does nothing but smile-shes lying when she says he cries and wakes in the night Im sure of it) baby. Anyway, I answered her questions but figured I'd throw up a post while  I have a few extra seconds to spare, since there may be others with these same couple of questions.
1) Gracie doesnt have to sit in a car seat because he is not a baby, hes a midget. No, he's not offended by the term midget. He IS offended by being called a doll or being referred to as "she".
2) He sits in a regular seat belt or on the center arm rest in the back seat. The arm rest is his "booster".

Other random Gracie info:
*Gracie's belly button is not his belly button but his "weenie" which is still in need of repair and being held on by a few strings and a couple of band-aids. I have been forbidden to wash Gracie until I can learn how to fix his weenie, because it might fall off in the wash. (Seriously people if you know how to fix this, let me know! Gracie needs a bath!)
*Gracie is developing a terrible potty mouth and is fully responsible for the bathroom humor that comes out of Aidan's mouth. He wouldn't know about it if Gracie didnt tell him.
