See Gracie Immediately!!!!!


OK, now the really funny thing about this to me is that the girl can spell "immediately", but struggled with "horses".  C'mon....really?  Well, I got a smile out of it and this is definitely going in the keep folder!

Following is a picture that needs a little explanation.  Since Grace started 2nd grade, she has been sweet on a little boy in her class named Ethan.  When she was in K & 1, she had a different boyfriend every day, but this year she only likes Ethan.  We don't want her to be "in love" (she IS only 8), but it is funny to see her like a boy because he is nice to her.  Well, Ethan was the only boy she wanted to invite to her birthday party (besides family) and he got to come.  He stood up front with her while she opened her presents and blew out her candles.  When we were Christmas shopping, she wanted to buy Ethan a present.  Help me out here, what is acceptable to buy a 2nd grade "boyfriend"?  (By the way, we don't let her call him her "Boyfriend"....he's a friend.  She says "Yah right!" Anyway, it makes her daddy feel better!)  So, she settled on some Flix Trix, saying she knows he likes them.  Soooo, when I picked her up at school Thursday, I stopped to talk to Ethan's mom to tell her we had a little gift for him.  She then shows me the gift they got for Grace because Ethan wanted her to bring it so Grace could get it that day to take home.  It was a build a bear!  I was shocked!  She said that was what he wanted to get her.  So, he asked her what her favorite animal was and Grace had told him an otter.  What the heck?!  An OTTER?!  She loved them at the zoo this summer, so I guess that's why....  So, E's mom was worried they wouldn't find an otter....guess what?  They did!  He dressed it as Mrs. Claus and named it Olivia.  When the kids came out of school, he gave it to her; she was so embarassed!  When we got in the car, she was smiling so big and kept talking about how she couldn't believe he got that for her.  The whole time she was here, she kept hold of that thing and took care of it like it were a real baby!

If you're still following after that long-winded story, here's a pic of Grace and Olivia the Otter!
