Another Mixed Up Day


Gracie and I affixed the last feather to our homemade "countdown to Thanksgiving" turkey, leaving just 24 hours to get the bird ready, keep the house clean, vacuum up the fruit loops and cracker crumbs another 6 times, and make several gallons of tea.

Last minute preparations would have been a little easier, if the Princess Grace had decided to sleep last night. Gracie woke up around 4 am and stayed that way until 6am. I would hug her and put her back down in her crib. After three times of that game I gave up and put her in the bed with us. Around 7am, daddy had had enough and he shipped her back in to her crib, where she slept until 9am and woke up crying. She moved back in our bed and slept until 11am. I decided a nap was not likely to happen today.

We hadn't seen Jessica or baby Sierra in a week and a half, so we paid them a visit. Gracie had fun running around Jessica's house and playing with the dogs, and getting a brownie. That is until the baby woke up, and mommy decided to feed it. Gracie wanted hugs and to be held all while I was feeding Sierra. But, she calmed down a little. Meanwhile, I really impressed myself by putting Gracie on my lap while feeding Sierra at the same time, and later by burping Sierra and getting Gracie's shoes on her, one handed. I don't want to say a toddler and an infant is a snap, but I was excited that I could handle both of them at once.

Gracie went to bed early tonight, though she wouldn't eat anything. Her teeth have really been giving her problems over the past few days. Garren and I are taking a break before tackling the dishes and turkey and my 3rd load of laundry today.
