Happy Birthday, Mommy!

For my birthday, my sweet girl picked out beautiful butterfly earrings for me, she placed them with lots of tissue paper in a Strawberry Shortcake giftbag. No birthday is complete without a cake, right? Well at least not to Emily Grace, so she picked out a HUGE cake with birthday balloons on it & she wanted the first piece with the most icing! It was a wonderful day!

Mommy's New Maid!

Well I decided that I needed to hire a maid for the Crosby household!
Since we can't afford much, this is who they sent me :)
She a little on the short side, but she gets the job done!
She has a lot more fun mopping than Mommy does, give her a few
more years & she'll hate it too!

A 3 year old's perspective on Easter

I just wanted to share what happened at the Crosby house tonight...

I was cutting green strips of paper in preparation for next week & my sweet Emily Grace picked up 2 of them & starting waving them up and down saying "Praise God, Praise God" so I picked up the video camera & starting filming, here's what she said,

Emily: Praise God, Praise God (waving her green strips of paper)

Mommy: Where did you learn that?

Emily: At my church

Mommy: Is that what they did when Jesus came down the street?

Emily: Yes and He died on a cross

Mommy: Then what happened?

Emily: They put him in a tomb, and rubbed stuff all over his body like "spikes"
(I'm assuming she means spices)

Mommy: Then what happened, did he stay in the tomb?

Emily: No, Mommy, Jesus is alive again!

It's amazing that such little minds can grasp such eternal things!!

I thank God for my church, Grace Community & the eternal things the teachers there are sharing with my child! Just when you think they aren't listening..... you'd be surprised! Keep up the good work, Grace Acres!

Easter Bunny

Here's Emily Grace with the Easter Bunny! She was disappointed that he didn't talk, but she loved it when he wiggled his tail around...
