The "Big Owner"

Gracie says some funny things sometimes. The other day she was playing with her daddy, and he pretended to be a "Big Ogre" and eat her up. I came into the room to her giggles and a request for me to save her from the "Big Owner." Ever since then, my husband has been the Big Owner, and Drew has been the Little Owner. Oh, and Gracie is the Little Snack and I am the Big Snack. We are so silly.

Some other cute Gracie sayings: One day my husband was trying to get her to come so he could help her with her shoes. He told her to "Bring those little toes over here." Gracie said, "It would be easier to bring all of me." :)

And the last one for now: Gracie sometimes has a hard time being quiet during church, so I often give her a pen and paper to draw with in hopes that it will help her stay quiet. One Sunday morning, she was singing "Happy Mother's Day to you" ... to the tune of "Happy Birthday to you." (Now, I did think that was very sweet, except that it happened to be during a particularly quiet part of the service and it was the week after Mother's Day.) When my husband asked her to be quiet, she replied, "It's hard to draw without a song."
