Grandma Mary (cabin)

Grace (on her own) drew a picture in the snow (on top of the sled hill) of Grandma Mary and her (both with big smiles). Grace must have been in tune to Grandma Mary's spirit..."listen to the whispering pines"!

Vegetable Cake

At dinner tonight, Paige asked Grace about her favorite dessert, and she said, "all cakes." I said, "even carrot cake?" She said, "all cakes except vegetable cakes...just sweet ones."

Paige has a cold. During dinner, Grace shared her spoon with Paige and said, "cause I'm healthy you might get kinda healthy."

Rabbit eyeballs ("too salty")

Angi had conferences tonight, so I picked up the girls from school. On the way home, Paige told me the Native Americans used all parts of the buffalo that they killed. I told the girls that in Air Force survival training we had very little food and were given a small rabbit to share amongst 13 people. I told them that I ate a rabbit eyeball. Paige asked me how it tasted. I said, "very salty." Paige said that she would try it. Grace said she would not eat it, but instead make a decoration out of it. Grace would "make a sign that included the eyeball with writing that said not good for little kids...too salty."

Smells (b-day, swimming pool)

I blew out a candle before Grace entered the kitchen. She said, "Dad, it smells like somebody had a birthday."

I cleaned the shower with bleach. Grace said, "Dad, are you building a swimming pool up here?"

Window shade shadow?

Grace told me that she saw a shadow (from outside) go across the window shade in the kitchen. I asked her what it was. She said, "I think it was a human throwing a dog." I asked her how this could be. She said, "I have no idea. I'm serious!"
