Adventures of the Spagoogle

I finished cleaning Grace's room this weekend. It involved sorting and putting away some of her clothes, and sweeping. I also bought a new rug to add some girl power to her clean room. She loves the rug. She is always laying on it or playing on it when she goes in there. I think that it really brightens up the room. She loves to help me with the laundry. If she finds any clothes, she loves to throw them on the floor. Since the room was cleaned she was able to make it to her windows. She enjoyed playing peek a boo behind the curtains. The simple things in life are the great adventures in her eyes. She just makes me smile!

Mommy and Grace

I love all of the moments that I get to share with you sweet baby girl! I love you Grace!

My Darling

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of FUN!

Grace loves her new toy that we got her with a gift card from her birthday. We got her a ball popper from Sears two weeks ago. It has become one of her favorites. The ball popper that we have plays a number of fun tunes while shooting balls into the air and down the slide. Grace likes to put other items into the ball popper as well. She places some of her toy food items into the popper and they fly out back at her. It is a joy watching her have such fun. She also loves her Elmo Microwave, her Elmo Live Encore, and her singing teapot. However, despite her favorite toys she loves just playing in the kitchen cabinets. Everyday she has to pull out all of our canned goods!

Trash Patrol

The other day I was getting ready to make a smoothie. I was getting the parts to our mixer out and I noticed that a part of the lid was missing. Where did it go? I know that I washed that part just the other day and placed it in the cabinet. Just days before I remember Grace playing around the trash can. "No honey, trash is yucky! Why don't you play with these items instead." I directed her away from the trash can. So I ask Marc if he saw Grace around the trash can today. He doesn't recall seeing her there. I told him that I am missing part of the mixer. So we decide to look in the trash. And what do we find....Marc's cell phone and a bunch of little toys. No mixer piece. So Marc went out to get the bag of trash that he took out to put in the dumpster. So we dig, still digging, and finally we find the missing part of the mixer. So we attempt to tape the trash can up and periodically check it for items. She still managed to pull the tape off, and throw more toys, her sippy cup, and even some of our unopened canned goods from the cabinet. Now I have the tape on the inside and outside of the trash. Marc and I have to lift off the lid before throwing anything away. I still find her over there playing with it, and I try to re-direct her to other areas of the kitchen. It makes you wonder what else ended up in the trash that we didn't catch. I guess we will never know unless it comes up missing. Oh, little Spagoog and her discoveries!

For the Love of Pepsi

Not long after we returned from Indiana, Grace decided that she wanted to get a taste of what mommy and daddy love, Pepsi. She was determined to get a taste despite the consequences. So when mommy and daddy where not looking, she reached for it and she got a taste. She probably enjoyed accomplishing the task...but she dreaded the sticky aftermath...as did mommy and daddy. Marc ran to clean it up and what did I do...I ran to get the camera of course. Here are the pictures of Grace and her first sticky mess. The good news is that this happened just moments before a scheduled bath time. She sure had us laughing. We love you little Spagoog, and we know that this is only the beginning of sticky messes, and funny moments!

Holiday Trip
