Striped Dog

Grace asked Aimee, "Maybe I can get a striped dog?"  Aimee told her no and that we didn't have any money for a striped dog.  "Maybe we can buy some more money," Grace suggested.  "And then I can have a striped dog!"

Splashing

It's wet wet wet wet wet wet.  On the way home from preschool Grace was very excited with all the rain on the roads and squealed in delight anytime we hit a big puddle and splashed water high in the air.  The good news for her is that it looks like we'll have lots of puddle splashing opportunities this weekend and beyond.  Wet wet wet wet wet.

Halloween Blues

Grace appears to have caught on to the whole Halloween candy scam.  Everyday she announces that we're going trick-or-treating tonight.  And then we explain that Halloween won't come until next year. 

Who is the... Pieman?

Aimee has jury duty this week. Grace and I drove Aimee to downtown
Seattle this morning since it was pouring - waiting for a bus in a
downpour is miserable. On the way to the courthouse, Grace said "The
Pieman is bad." We don't know who this mysterious pieman is, or what
he has done. Or, come to think of it, if "Pieman" even approximates
the spelling of the concept in Grace's head.
