My little one still shreeks (sp??) at the sight of a bug or anything gross. Just today in the grocery store she gave a dead bug about a 10 foot birth all the time talking about how yucky it was. That's my girl!!!!!!!! julie

Ya know, a few weeks ago when I was doing our gardening unit at school, I bought a box of nightcrawlers (earthworms) & the class and I played with them for several days. Loved it! They're really not slimy or anything. But then again, I'm a bit of a tomboy myself. liz

I have just looked through your blog and your lovely photo's. I am a christian mom with 5 children from age 11 to 1 year old and I am also mad about photography! I would love to keep in touch as I am sure I can learn a lot from you! Thanks for your fab blog! I have just started a blog too.. Andree Warnock

Apr. 26, 2008 - Oh no, I am so sorry

Posted by Chryss

Alyssa, I am so sorry about the loss of the girlie girl, I hope it is not Ambers fault. This is a very common scenerio at our house. But we are lucky if it is only an earthworm. I hope that Gracie has not been tainted by the tomboy in my Doodle"bug".

Hi Alyssa, I came by yesterday to say hi but then got called away to pizza before I could leave a comment. I'm with you on wanting to keep our little girls girlie (and I'm sure she cleaned up beautifully!) Ruthie is my little girlie girl, and for the longest time the only thing she would wear is dresses and skirts. She just started wearing bluejean capris - it's certainly not the end of the world :) but I keep thinking like you are, I hope this is a phase and the girlie girl in her stays. Antoinette

Posted by hugabunchmom

I remember the first time my girls went through this kind of thing. It has it's moments of fun, but it is wild! Your girlie-girl is still in there somewhere. This will be great practice for getting past things like baby diapers in her future, or a house full of children with the stomach flu...it will pass, but it is great knowledge regardless. What fun!! And how awesome that they would just check it all and not even stop at the first one, but keep going! You are raising a great little bunch. Hugs!

hi....I was just laughing at your Gracie! She reminds me of my 10 yr old viviana in being a girly-girl! But I don't think Viviana would even touch a worm! It was nice visiting your blog! God Bless! juliet

I think it's great that your girls can go out and get dirty but also keep their girly side too with ballet, dress up, etc. Shows that they love to explore and learn about the world around them. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the good job you are doing as their homeschool mom Alyssa! Mindy :)

Wow! I always wished my daughter was more girly but doing that kind of stuff is her typical personality. Cute pictures

That is so funny that your kids hunted earthworms too. My girls just watched closely but even though they are so girly I wouldn't be surprised if they helped more next time! Love the pictures, do you use Photoshop Elements? Christine

Posted by ourhomeschool

I can relate. Your Gracie sounds like my 8 year old daughter! She loves all things pretty, so it's funny when she gets herself into dirty things. I guess we can call them diverse. I am enjoying your blog very, very much. I love your photography.... Pictures say so much! I hope you don't mind, I've added you as a friend so that I can continue to visit. Many blessings.
