"Mom, do pirates wipe their bums? Do they poop over the ships railing? Do pirates buckle up in the car? Do pirates like chicken nuggets? Do pirates always hide their treasures? Do pirates like traffic? Mom, what do pirates say when they get hurt? Do they say 'Ahoy Matey that hurts really bad'? "
This started at 3:30 and ended at 7:30 p.m.
Happy Birthday Ellery!! Grace loved your pirate party! I can't believe that you are already 5 years old. Time flies by like a swashbuckling pirate:)

Sometimes it is easier to talk about the one you love....while they are sleeping!
Grace has done it. She has hit the "terrible two's". I am so excited! :( She is only 2, wait according to her, 2 and a half years late. She has been the ultimate skunk lately. It would be funny if it wasn't so stinkin constant! (It is 2:19 a.m. as I write this, bear with me.)
It started out funny. I'm on the phone with my nieghbor when Grace comes to sit on my lap. No biggie, she usually does this. Only today she decides it would be funny if she repeats EVERYTHING I say. Okay, this is cute. We laugh, all is well. Then she won't stop! Aaauggghhh. Not so funny anymore.
Now we have moved onto asking 5 billion questions about everything. Example: "Mom, where is hell? Why does Satan live there? What does 'live' mean? Mom, um, do you, um, Mom, now, where was hell again?"
And then there is my personal favorite. Ask me a question and then tell me I'm wrong.
Grace- "Mom, what are bees doing to the flowers?" Me- "They are pollinating the flowers." Grace- "No they are not. Ms. Katie told me they are just resting on them."
Me- "If you know the answer to the question, then why theHELL heck did you ask me?" (This part of the conversation usually is only said in my head.)
But....my skunk daughter has another side. Which I absolutely LOVE! (I love this side, it just takes a lot of patience. Some days I have more than others:)
When I pick her up from preschool and she says, "Mom, I missed your guts right out of you! How was class? What did you do?" Then, she just melts my heart.
She is "Amazing Grace" I never know what she is going to say or do. Like sing to everyone in Smith's while grocery shopping. I am sure that all the shoppers enjoy hearing "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints" belted out opera style while they are shopping.
My sweet Piglet can always make me smile!
