More Vintage Grace-isms...

Ah, she provides so much material... the possibilities are endless!!

It is SO bedtime, but I'll just leave you with one more priceless quote from the little sassy-pants in our house.

In our house, Halloween is a big deal... the girls begin to plot their costumes MONTHS before the big day.  They change ideas almost daily this time of year.  Currently, Katie is planning on dressing up as a candy corn, while Abby intends to be sporting a cute kitty-cat ensemble.  Gracie, however, intends to be Wonder Woman.  This is good news, because Abby was Wonder Woman a few years ago, and so we already own this costume... I won't have to purchase it.  Gracie has been wearing it around the house quite a bit lately.  Our only problem, however, is that Abby is quite skinny and has a very flat hiney.  Gracie, however has her Mama's behind.  Let's just say, Baby got BACK! ha ha!  Her butt really fills out Wonder Woman's leotard.  Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, as Wonder Woman wears a long, flowing red cape that covers the backside quite nicely.  However, we ARE talking about Gracie here... she refuses to wear the cape.  Tonight I was explaining to her that when we go out to trick-or-treat, she will have to wear the cape.  She adamantly refused.  So, I showed her a photo of another Wonder Woman costume that had a skirt.  She scoffed at it.  Exasperated, I said, "You can't walk around with your BOTTOM hanging out!!!!  She cried back, "I WANT my bottom to hang out!"

Hmmmmm... I pray we don't have this same argument in about 13 more years...

That's funny! Maison was Wonder Woman 2 years ago. I even ordered her special white go-go boots just for the outfit (even though it came with the fake boot covers). On Halloween night SHE decides that cat ears would go much better than the cute Wonder Woman headband and her pink crocs were her shoes of choice. The photos were lovely. -Casey
