A few blonde moments in the last week!

I really hate to admit these dumb blonde moments that have been happening but when I find myself driving in the car and I start laughing out loud by myself...then I figured I better share them.
Dumb Blonde act #1...I wrote a little poem about Gracie turning 2. I am having a "Tea Party B-day Party" for her with her little girlfriends. I am not inviting the usual 60 people that come to Kelton's bday because I wanted to go all out for the girls. Sooooo I thought up this great idea to send a picture and a copy of the poem to people who aren't coming to the party. Then I thought I never sent out an annoucement that Gracie was born so this will be kind of like that. NOPE! You dont even know how many people have called me and even Max saying "I got Gracie's invitation but there isn't any info about the party on there?"
NOTE TO SELF: Dont send out annoucements when your child is 2!
So I am posting the poem below...I thought it was creative and explained itself, but I guess not. On to the next blonde moment...
It goes something like this:
Gracie Lynn is turning 2.
We found ourselves asking "Gracie Who?"
Who has this little one become
since the day she turned ONE.
Her vocabulary is a year ahead of her time.
This is what makes her shine.
She is an entertainer in any crowd. Loves for all
eye's and ears to be fixed on her from all around.
Her favorite time is when she dances
with the music turned up loud
she has her daddy's passion.
She loves to be tickeled like her mama
In the day or in the night.
Her daddy now has two girls to fight.
She is stubborn, strong willed and full of energy.
She definitely gives her brother
a run for his money.
She loves to sing songs at the top of her lungs.
This one is not quiet nor shy.
She makes poor brother run and hide.
Then there are the hugs and nite nite's
Mommie, Daddy, and Brother wait for...
Because there is nothing more that one could ask for.
She is sometimes called our little monster but
with one look at those big blue eye's
We tend to falter.
With Minnie Mouse and the crew that is in tow
where ever this little princess goes.
What Gracie will do next...no one knows!
Gracie Lynn is turning 2...
We thought we would share a little bit about her
With You!

Dumb Blonde Act #2: So if any of you know me you know I love to paint. I love to paint, paint, and paint some more! YIKES! Yes we all remember my while you were out paint the bedroom furniture. So our house was built 3 years ago and our front door is getting a little rugged with all of my wreaths banging against it. Soooo I mention to Max that we should paint the front door. He says of course we definitely need to do that. He was meaning in the spring but didn't say that. So Gracie is sleeping the other day and I decide I will go see what paint I have downstairs and paint the door black. It was originally brown. Well not just paint but spray paint. So I mask it off and start spraying and the spray can freezes up. I am looking at the paint and thinking why is that drying so funny. So I go in the house and think I will go to home depot ask them some tips and fix it before Max gets home. No joke Max walks in 20 minutes later, home EARLY from work. Let's just say he was not a happy camper and to find out you cant paint anything under 55 degree's or it wont set right. Definitely dont spray paint! LOL So now we cant fix our door for a couple months and it looks AWEFUL! So bad I am not even going to take a picture. LOL

So needless to say all my spray paint got taken away!

Oh Linds! I understood your meaning of your cute poem! Dont feel "dumb" I think you did a great job! And you are very talented. I admire those who can be poetic and make beautiful things. And the front door, I would have done the same thing. I get so impatient. When I want something done, I want it done now! I do want to come out and see your cute house and maybe let Kylan and Gracie play. Lets plan!
