Oh the CRAZY things they do!

So we were eating dinner tonight and Gracie proceeded to pour her apple juice all over the high chair tray. That is pretty normal. The next thing I know however, is that she is sliding her hands in it and then rubbing them in her hair. I just had to get a video. The boys thought it was pretty funny and they had to add their own crazy actions to the video.
