Rainy Tuesday and only 48 degrees---where is summer?? Yesterday (MON) was a different day in our house Gretchen had woke up about 4 am ish once in the middle of the night---put back to sleep and then woke up at 6:15 crying her tummy hurt! Spent most of the morning in the bathroom--I am actually very proud of her for making it every time! IT WAS NOT CAUSED FROM TOMATOES!! She helped make a huge toss salad Thursday night and Friday night--but she ate no tomatoes! Mommy ate them(I was fine) and daddy and Gretchie got sick without a bite of tomatoes!! (weird) I decided to wait until eve to give her a bath---We did get 
dressed and went to the library party for Summer Reading at 11 am came home ate lunch and when I went to put her down for a nap--12:45 she said her tummy hurt again (poor dolly) ---She was so tired by 1:30 and slept until 3 pm! Later we had another run to the bathroom---then of all things she asked for PICKLES!!! (talk about tummy ache--she did not get any pickles!) She ate dinner barely and was fine. READ BOOKS ALL DAY MONDAY! Mommy did laundry (it takes all day! (FUN)) Green folder is her summer reading folder she is sooo proud of recording her books!! Tuesday we woke up went to the School End of the Year Talent Show---at the elementary school I taught at! She loved watching the 700 kids and teachers perform! We visited and then came home by 12:30--Gretchie's tummy seemed fine all day and no complaints! Daddy came home an hour early and took G to Wmart to get water and address labels. Wed--We went to WMart to get daddy a father's Day gift, Boogie, Story and Craft!! We then went to McDonalds with Isabella and Angelica---(her tummy was bad again---she only ate french fries for lunch and egg and toast for breakfast! We got new libr
ary books again--Yahooooooooooo!!
9 pm! We read books and watched two Barney videos----played with bubble hippo! 
Just another little story--when Nana was here last week she made Nana wear her HOLEY SHOES--while she wore hers (when Nana switched to tennis shoes G would go get the Holey SHOES--so they could match!!) 
Saturday at HOME!! Daddy was not feeling good with a cold from Gretchie! So we just played in the morning and gave her a bath at 10:15 am! After bath (hour later) -she had a HUGE stack of books she was reading to daddy on our bed--He was doing a puzzle! I caught up on some cleaning downstairs--and then I laid down to listen to the stories!! At 11:40 am he wanted a nap--so G said me 
tooo! Ten minutes later they were both sound asleep----(it was sooo sweet-but I refused the temptation to take a photo!) They slept two hours and 20 min!!! I did take a photo after she had flipped onto daddy waking up! We watched a movie and just played---We had a retirement party at 6:30 pm---for a teacher /friend and the plan was for all 3 of us to go! Well at 5 pm Lee said I will watch "G" so you can go! Since she was so attached to her daddy all day---even when he was not feeling good -I said adios! The party was very 
fun (always is with the silly friends I use to teach with) They are so creative with skits and songs and just plain catching up with everyone! Kathy was retiring after 30 years of teaching!!! What a neat example of a GREAT TEACHER! We played softball 4 years with them also. I
came home at 8:58 pm-got G asleep with 15 minutes! Cleaned the kitchen and jumped in the shower---I hear her crying outside my door--- shut the water off and grabbed the towel--Lee already had her and put her back to bed! Took minutes to get her asleep again--(she ususally stays asleep until morning)
10-15 min and then said Let's Go---we sat in on Childrens Church and she did the paper! She fell asleep at 11:30 on the way home (NAPS are getting earlier--thats good) She slept two hours!! Quiet aftenoon---went grocery shopping at 5 --she is such a great helper and has to put everything on the counter! Great at bed again-----
