First Kiss...

Well, it has happened. Gracie got her first kiss today! As cute as it was, she WAS NOT HAPPY. I'm going to try to write it as our conversation occurred. And I have to add that she did not have a good today and she had a bit of a tummy ache.

Me: So how was music class today Gracie?
G: Uh, we didn't have music today Mom, we had PE.
Me: What happened, you were scheduled for music?
G: I don't know.
G: What are you doing Mom?
Me: I'm working on the craft project for your Valentines Party tomorrow.
G: Did you to a heart for Michael Duncan yet?
Me: No, not yet.
G: Well good, make his the very last one. (not in a good tone)
Me: Gracie, that is not a really nice thing to say. Why would you say that?
G: Well, he kissed me today
Me: WHAT??? He did what again Gracie?
G: He kissed me today in PE and told me loved me.
Me: What did you do?
G: I didn't like it, it's digusting. Besides, I don't love him and I don't want to marry him.
Me: Well, just because he kissed you and said he loved you doesn't mean you're going to marry him. He just has a crush on you.
G: Well, I don't want him to love me. We're not even supposed to kiss at school so I told the teacher.
Me: Sometimes, a boy likes a girl kinda like you like Justin Beiber. You just get really happy when you see him on TV or listen to his music right?
G: Yeah, but I don't like him.
Me: Well, if he kisses you and you don't like it then you should politely tell him not to do it again. But you have to not be mean to him either and hurt his feelings.
G: Mrs. Shade made him turn his "Bee" around because of it.
Me: Just try to be nice Gracie
G: He just loves me because of my cool outfits.
Me: I don't think that's the only reason Gracie.
G: Yes it is, he told me so.

I didn't think I would have to have this conversation when she's 7. Dear Lord, what will it be like when she's 15. Note to self, don't buy such cute outfits!

Snow Days

This past week we had some crazy weather! We were iced in from Tuesday through Thursday with about 6 inches of snow Friday morning. After being at home with two kids, we decided it was time to go out and play in the snow. Cameron lasted about 15 minutes and the snow burned his cheeks. Poor baby has such sensitive skin. Gracie & I headed to the park next to our house and played. We met a few friends and had a grand ol' time. I'm really surprised at how much Gracie LOVES the snow. She might be the reason we go skiing one day - yeah right.

We purchased real snow jackets and bibs for the kids for our Christmas Trip to Chicago and didn't think we would get much use of them, boy was I wrong!
