So, I don't know if my slave driving ways drove her to do it, or what, but yesterday, after I told her she had to do her jobs, Grace comes to me dressed as Cinderella. (Below) I had no part in the costume at all. Notice the apron and head scarf, which is really a doll shirt. I played along and told her she must clean the bathroom, the windows, and whatever else I could think of. Next thing I knew, she was scrubbing my bathroom floor with a baby wipe and singing. Then she moved to the hall floor and cleaned while singing there as well. I have video if that part, but I have to get it off the camera first. If any of you know the movie, she was singing "Sweet Nightingale". Jed then decided he was a step sister. And would scream around the house "Cinderella! I need my breakfast" and whatever else he wanted. As she was bringing him his food, I heard her shooing the cat away and getting the broom. She then brought me a letter from the King! All was very funny till we had to go to Wal-mart.
At Wal-mart, I was called Step -Mother and had to refer to the kids as Cinderella and Drisella(step-sister). Luckily we convinced her to leave the apron in the car. She was talking about making her dress and what she needed to get done in order to go to the ball. When we got home, the game continued.This is Cinderella dancing with the prince. She made a point to ask me(now the fairy god-mother) what time her dress would change. I then had to set the timer and have it beep so she could hear it and run away. We quickly changed clothes and went back to cleaning, until someone was there to help us try on shoes.(Jed)
This is Grace with the lone glass slipper(as the other one broke when the guy,Jed, was tripped). I was great fun, and I have been hounded to play again all day today. Alas, Disney World has nothing on Grace.

how cute is that? You are such a cute mom!
That story is hilarious! You are so good to play along! What an imagination she has. I have never gotten to play Cinderella, just Star Wars.
Wow! What an exciting day. Your kids have such great imaginiations. I can't believe how grown up Grace is, I guess that is what happens in 4 years of not seeing you!
You are a great mom!!
That is so funny. Grace looks so cut in her "ball Gown" and Jed the handsome prince.
What a fun day! I'm sure Grace will always remember it. We are still in G'ville. We will be moving this summer to the cold world of IL. Brrr! I'm glad you guys are doing well!
