Katie-isms

Katie's version of a Cheap Trick song:
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender
But don't give yourself a wedgie...


and her comment after hearing a truck backfire:
"He backfired. I backfired once." and then she giggled herself silly
"that means I tooted!!!"

Reindeer Names

Katie was telling me the names of the reindeer tonight -
Flixen
Dickson
Gibson

Rudolph

BTW, Gibson is one of the monkeys on "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce" ... giggle!

Oodles of new pictures :) You just have to go here.. Sheryl's Flickr Page


Mark it as your favorites, because I post pictures there fairly often!

Wow, Time Flies

So much has been going on in the past few weeks, and the next couple of weeks will be even crazier.

Katie is now 5! Yay! There are some pictures on Flickr


Slideshow of a handful of K pictures + our cats (yes, plural!)

You may recall our beloved Toby died in March, he was my sweet kitty for about 12 years. A couple of weeks later, Katie and I visited the SPCA shelter and she chose Mimi, a very dark tortoiseshell shorthair... and then a week ago, a friend was looking for a home for a very young kitten so we took him in and finally settled on the name "Mickey". The house is now officially a zoo :)

More to say but I'm too sleepy... catch ya soon!

Loveland Castle Day 5/6/06

Slideshow of photos from Girls Day at the castle. The other lady is Judy, my best friend - she's in teal, I'm in bright blue. Katie is the tiny one :)

She had the best time. Like a pint-sized reporter, she had her notebook and red crayon in hand at all times, stopping to draw pictures of anything interesting she found. I'll have to scan them in and show you, they're adorable :)

I'm Telling!

Mmm-oooooo-mmmmm!!! Katie's twitching her tail at me!!!!!!!

No pictures...

for what will be obvious reasons.

Buck naked, except for:
a pair of white tights... over her head, so the legs form lovely long "blonde curls".. or rabbit ears, depending.
a Hello Kitty locket
ONE black ballet shoe
strutting around like a model on a runway

*blink*
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. MAN is she silly!

A couple quick notes

Last night, I heard Katie singing softly to herself and realized she was singing a Keneally song, "Pride is a Sin". Awesome.

A few days ago, she got dressed before coming to my room in the morning. She was in a horizontal-striped shirt (navy and baby blue), a plaid skirt (pink and purple) and cowgirl boots. I took a picture because I knew my mom would LOVE it ;)

I was awakened this morning from a little nap in the recliner with "See mommy, I made a painting for you." My first thought was "oh honey, that is so cute..." then... wait a minute. Did she say PAINTING? ... kind of. Red lipstick. oh so very red lipstick!

That kid - she's hilarious :)

Ooook...

Katie saw a bright star in the sky. "Look, Mommy, a new baby Jesus is being borned!"

WHAT did you say?

The other day, Katie was fiddling with something and it wasn't doing what she wanted. She let loose with the "F" word. It was kinda like that scene in "A Christmas Story" - she said it, everything went to slow-mo, and she looked at me like "ooooo I'm in for it now." I didn't make a big deal of it, just reminded her that we don't use that word in our house, and then we had fun making up words to use instead like "oh pickle pants!" or "oh bouncy boogers".

The next day we were in Target - basically just to get out of the house, and I remembered something I'd forgotten to get in the other section. I said "We need to go back to , dagnabbit!"

Her face was one of horror. "MOMMY. You said a BAD WORD." Now I froze - "what on earth did I say?" She whispered "dagnabbit - it's a bad word mommy". I grinned, "no honey, I think it's ok to say that word. "

She gave me a look and said in a low voice, "only if nobody else is around."

*glares in the general direction of Indianapolis

Ok, so it was funny. But still ;)

Dentist Day!

The girlie did GREAT at the dentist this morning for her checkup. It's so funny to hear her giggle as they "tickle" her teeth. Since she stopped using the pacifier, they said in about 6-12 months her front teeth should come back closer together (re: overbite) and bring back her beautiful smile. They also advised limiting sugary sweets to around mealtimes and then brushing right after to get the "sugar bugs" out.

I love this office, they are SO awesome with kids. She always wants to stay longer and play :)

So yay, Katie, for being such a brave and well-behaved gal!
