grace says "hey mom, i've got the best idea"... "what's that?"... "i think we should have a big party tonight and invite everyone we know" she replies. "um, gracie... i don't think that's gonna happen tonight." "but mom, it would be so much fun, and we can make some decorations and eat pie!" "gracie, why do we need to have a party? what are we gonna celebrate?" "i don't know..." she says, "do we need a reason?"
so, i start thinking... hhmmm... the girl has a point. do we need a reason? really? we could celebrate that it is wednesday... or that it is june 16th... or that daddy is coming home (even though he's only been at the office since this morning). in case you're wondering, the final answer is... no. no, we don't need a reason! so, i agreed to a seriously scaled down version of the party gracie was already having in her head... this time it's gonna be just us... and some homemade decorations... and some pizza. the best part was when they got to surprise daddy.
then, things really started getting crazy! that's right, we are a crazy circus! lily ate an entire piece of pizza (yes, you read that right)... porkchop ate his fair share as usual with two drinks (a capri sun in one hand and koolaid in the other)... and gracie busted out the worm (you know, the dance???) in the middle of the living room floor. at that point, we had to shut it down for fear of the sheriff showing up. maybe we should rethink mid-week parties... nah, maybe we'll just go outside for a while.
so, out we went to see how the garden has grown since yesterday... take a peek. i think i need a bigger garden box...
i turn around from taking garden pics to find millie laying in the sandbox while gracie and cale are playing. she's so sweet! and no, don't even ask, cause you can't have her. (now tucker, that's another story... just don't tell kyle).
whew... what a night this has been! an impromptu party, out surveying the ranch, and a big dog (our livestock) who thinks she's one of the babies... i'm going to bed. nite.
