She's WRITING. Real live words and thoughts and all kinds of crazy stuff. I got her a little journal & she writes all sorts of random things in it. She also has developed a meticulous score card system for her sister, which involves checks and keeping track of how many times Ella is bad and/or good, and the appropriate punishment/reward for that behaviour. She's very Organized and Responsible. She also LOVES post-it notes. They are practically her favorite thing and all she wants for her birthday (I think she gets the office-supply fetish from me. I LOVE fresh office supplies.)
Recently, we found this note...
If you can't tell, it says "You can just grab them and have them." We're not real sure what the heck this is refering to, we're kindof afraid to ask. (Seriously, though- we cannot stop ourselves from saying "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" every time we see it, which is often, because we keep putting this note all over the house. It makes us happy.)

You made me snort my soda when I got to "that's what she said!"
I don't think I could love Grace more if she was just a big Sour Patch Kid (that sounds kind of freaky--must be all the soda I just inhaled)
And oh my GOSH, your word verification word is looooong today--my life is really plagued (just like that of the initial settlers of Hawaii)
I can relate to the fixation on office supplies - the perfect gift for me would be a million trillion dollars to spent at Staples or Office Depot.
I am also impressed by Grace's writing skills, but I feel honor-bound to analyze her actual statement of "you can just grab them and have them" and inform you that, as a graduate of the 'Family Circle' school of Grandma Pysch 101, and the fact that it was posted immediately following your blog's Nutella warning, this obviously is a deeply rooted psychological cry from the ghost of Mr. Pietro Ferreo feeding on your own addiction of Nutella.
The only recommended cure is to continue with your indulgent with Nutella, but also to purchase an elliptical trainer on par with Harmony's soon-to-be-purchased-one and begin training for the next Great Aloha Run.
No charge this time for this advice; you will be billed for the next one.
