Dr. Grace Dolittle




Gracie loves bugs! She can spend hours in the yard looking for potato bugs and other creepy crawlers. For Christmas she got an ant farm which I am sad to say the ants did not make it. I blame that on Frank for not watering and feeding them. This past weekend Grace went snail hunting at Nona's house. Usually she only finds the empty shells but Sunday was her lucky day. She found one. She was so excited to finally have a snail to add to collection of other "friends". She thought he was dirty so she decided to give him a bath. (the picture of her and the orange bucket). Surprisingly he lived through his bath. She was very entertained by watching him peek out of his shell and she would touch his eyes and watch him suck back inside. I love children's' curiosity. It's funny, when Grace was born her nickname was "bug". I guess it is fitting now. I love my Gracie Lou!!

Oh she is just so cute! She should come lay in our garden, our cabbage is being taken over by sluggs. She can catch them all if she wants!

Yes, I think we should help each other with the money thing. Can I have a bread maker though!? haha. Ive been planning my meals each paycheck and I used coupons day before yesterday and saved almost 60.00 between coupons and price matching. It took some time but SO worth it.

So what are you just dying to buy?
