Talk about a good laugh. Saturday morning I had the luxury of sleeping in until 8am! Yee haw! Once I got up and fetched John Michael from his crib, I headed out to see what the rest of the gang was up to. Everyone was in the playroom, the girls watching tv & Mike hanging out with them. But the funniest thing was Gracie. She had worn a sleeper to bed the night before (it went down to the 40s), but apparently had warmed up in the morning. She was stretched out on our green reclining chair "airing out." Which in Gracie-speak means lying naked on our green chair (holding her blankie & sucking her thumb)! Pretty funny sight when you are not expecting it. When I laughed at her she said, "What?. . . I was hot!"
In church, John Michael got a little loud toward the end - he just gave out a waah or two. But Clara thought it was important to speak up in her not so quiet voice and state "Mama, take the screaming baby out." And when I didn't. A little louder now, "Mama, take the screaming baby out now!" We had several comments about it on our way out of church.
Then on the way back from church, the girls started one of their many pretend games. Gracie asked Clara what she wanted to watch on the van tv (we don't really have a tv in the van, this is one of their pretend games - it's amazing. I have no idea why it is so entertaining, but they discuss it & will pretend to watch it for quite a long time considering there is no tv anywhere). So Clara chose something out of the long list that Gracie gave her & then Gracie tuned in the channel. But that's when it all went bad. Apparently, Clara wanted a different channel or wasn't listening or something. But they ended up arguing. Arguing over their pretend tv. Arguing over the program they were watching on their pretend tv. Amazing how siblings have that love/hate relationship.
