The sweetest thing...

I'm tired and ready for bed, but I wanted to share that the last two days Jilian has done the sweetest thing. It seems she got used to having "sissy" around during Spring Break because once Grace is dropped off at school, Jilian spends the day asking "where sissy?"..."where sissy?". Then when we do pick Grace up from school, Jilian is so happy to see her, says "hi sissy" and gives her a big hug and kiss. It just warms my heart to watch their relationship grow! And sad at the same time that Jilian is so big already!

Not tricky but silly!

In honor of April Fool's Day we did the day backwards, well our meals anyway! When Grace woke-up this morning I told her she gets lunch for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, dessert for dinner and dinner for dessert. She said "mom, you're fooling me!" She was surprised to see the peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and applesauce on her plate for breakfast and eggs and french toast in her lunchbox! It was fun to change things up. It gave me an excuse to bake a pie and I ate a lot less dinner after a piece of pie!
