Tuesday, Jaymie and I got together to make baby shower invitations for a friend. While we are very creative, we tend to take an abnormally long time to complete any project. So, we are not finished (when we finish, I will think about uploading a picture of them for you). However, while they were at my house, Gracie realized (which has been happening over the last week or so) that all of her friends are in gymnastics, and she is not. So she asked if she could go too. I, being the wonderful Mama that I am, said "Ask your Daddy". There IS a reason behind this. I have been feeling here lately that while I LOVE homeschooling her, and I really like the content of what she is learning, I am taking away the "fun" part of school. You know, the recess, the giggles, the best new friends. So, we had decided previously that we did NOT want to spend the money on gymnastics because it was a class full of the kids she already goes to church with. But I just couldn't say no to her again. I just couldn't! When Cameron asked me why I didn't just tell her no, I told him this. I think, in true man fashion, he didn't get it. I then told him that if we could pay the $30 annual fee then I would pay the $10 a week from my spending money. He agreed, then told Gracie she could go try it out, thus giving him all the fun parent credit! I told him later that totally wasn't fair, because he always ends up the "cool" parent. He argued that he didn't mean for that to happen, that Graice ASKED him and he had to answer. I got over it. No biggie. I AM the cool parent. :) hehehe Seriously though, she loved gymnastics and listened really well to her teacher. So, I think we will just bite down and pay the dumb $40 a month for her pure pleasure. By the way, Cam said he didn't expect me to use my spending money...we will add it to the budget. Yay! What a great man he is.
After all that activity, I went to Bunco and left the girls (and Cambry and Caden) with Cameron for a couple hours. The girls were beat that evening, and this is what happened...

I bet Gracie loves gymnastics. I always did......until I got tired of it. ;) She'll do great in it. If all of her friends are doing it, then you know she has to, also. Duh, Mom!!
That is kinda true about homeschooling. She is gonna miss out on all that stuff......but she does have THE best teacher ever. That's too funny that you told her to go ask Cameron. And he just couldn't tell his little girl no. Hmmm......I wonder if she has him wrapped around her pinky. I do think so!! :)
What a cute picture!
It just doesn't get any sweeter than that!!!!
