Katieisms...

Miss Katie tried her hand at makeup today while Mama wasn't looking. She particularly got carried away with the concealer (see pic above) and PAR-fume. Boy howdy. This was after she snuck watercolors and gave Caroline a couple of screwdrivers to play with. I've mentioned that these girls have plenty of sass and thought I'd document some of my favorite examples before I lose my mind entirely and forget...

"I'm right back!" - when Katie leaves a room she says "I'll be right back," when she returns she always says "I'm right back!"

"I want too much!!" - I regularly tell Katie "that's too much" (again, note concealer pic above) so when she wants more of something she says (or screams) "I want too much!" For instance, "Katie, would you like a little bit of ice cream?" "No, I want too much!!"

And finally, we've been having a lot of discussions lately about where God and Jesus live. We've established that they live in Heaven and that you go there when you die. I've been on to Katie about wiggling and not staying quiet for prayers (i.e. yelling out I want my story! in the middle of a prayer is inappropriate) so we had a long conversation last night about how it's important to thank God for your blessings and talk to Him everyday even though he is in Heaven. Katie's response: "I'll talk to Him when I get there!" God help us!

Welcome Summer!


It was quite warm today so Katie and Caroline got to kick off Memorial Day weekend by splashing in the pool for the first time this season!

Tea Party Time!




Today was the annual tea party at the playhouse at Grandma's. Katie and Caroline each got to invite a little friend so Ally, Brooklyn and their mamas came out to play. This was the third time Katie and Ally have done this but the first year they actually got it, so they had a big time!

Sunrise serenade...




Lucky Caroline - her bedroom connects to the playroom via the bathroom and Katie has taken a liking to dragging her little piano through the bathroom into Caroline's room first thing in the morning to "help wake her up." She also likes to get in the crib with Caroline in the morning, so Caroline essentially is jolted awake by the piano and then gets to enjoy Katie bouncing in her crib and rolling around. Good thing she is a pretty tolerant little baby!

Well, the light is on!

We are frequently being reminded that Katie's bedroom window faces East and that the days are getting longer. She came looking for Mama sporting her jammies and flip-flops at 6:15 am...

Mama: What are you doing up so early?
Katie: It's not early.
Mama: Yes it is!
Katie: Well, THE LIGHT IS ON!!

Pause.

Mama: You mean the sun is up?
Katie: Yeah!

God love her. Mama's on the hunt for blackout curtains for Katie's room now...:)

Ladies at Lunch

We are finally enjoying some springlike days (like you folks down South have been enjoying since March)!
