We're all a little out of sorts around here this morning.....we went to watch Steve play softball last night and the girls were up past their bedtime, so everyone's a little grumpy because of lack of sleep.  I overslept this morning, it's raining, Gracie cried and pouted because the jeans I picked out for her are "really, really itchy!".  So, it was somewhat amazing that the three of us were actually in the van, headed to school on time.  Gracie seems to be adjusting fairly well to kindergarten.  She still wants me to walk her into class every morning, though.  Every morning, I ask her if she's sure she wants me to walk her in or if she wants to go through the car line and walk in by herself.  This morning, here's the way the conversation went.

Me:  "Gracie, are you sure you don't want to go in car line this morning?" 

Gracie, shaking her head:  "No, Mama!  I want you to walk me in......I don't like car line."

Abigail, looking slightly perplexed, throwing her arms up in the air and shaking her head:  "Gwacie!  Yesh you do like car line.  You love car line!  Wemember, it makes you laugh and there's a cat!"

Me, looking very, very perplexed:  "Huh?"

Abigail, emphatic now:  "Gwacie loves car line!  Wemember,  it's soooo funny and there's a cat!"

Me, finally understanding:  "Abigail, we're not talking about CORALINE, the movie....we're talking about CAR LINE!

Abigail, laughing:  "Oh!   Hey Gwacie, wemember CAR LINE the movie...it was so funny and there was a cat!"

The day didn't seem as stressful after that

Here's Little Miss Malprop at Steve's game last night...
