Scaring Mommy

Katie had a great day of keeping Mommy on her toes. I think she lays in her crib at night, plotting.

On this particular day, we decided to meet some friends at the park. Would have been nice to chat with the other moms while I was there, but instead I spent the entire time trying to make sure we didn't have to visit the hospital.

When we first arrived, Katie went straight for the big slide. She did her favorite thing, which is where she stands at the top, smiles, and then walks onto the slide. She only does it sometimes, so I never know when it's coming. She makes it to the bottom somehow, falling on her keester as she goes down. It is very scary to watch.

When she was finished with the slide, she walked toward the opening of the play structure. I ran as fast as I could to meet her there. She walked out. I caught her. That was the end of the play structure for the day. We moved to the sand box. MUCH safer.

Soon after that, we went home. I was exhausted!

Here is a pic of the part of the structure where I caught Katie.
Yikes.

Mommy All To Myself!!!

Peter had his first real day of Preschool last
week. And that meant that Katie and Mommy had some precious alone time, once we dropped off Big Brother. Yay!

After walking back from school, the first thing Katie did was hop onto Peter's bed with a book, because there was no one there to complain that she was taking up too much room. Then we proceeded to chase each other around the house, laughing uncontrollably. I think this preschool thing may turn out nicely.

Here is a pic of Peter leaving for his first day.

A Day at the Zoo

The day before Peter started Preschool, we decided to hit the zoo one last time. The kids loved it and the animals were very cooperative. Almost all were out waiting for us! It was the perfect day.

Katie loved the cement snake slide, though I could have done without it. She must have ran up and down it 40 times. Made for a good nap though. She didn't even make it the 10 miles home.

Hanging Out With Old Friends

On Friday, we reconnected with some playdate friends we hadn't spent time with in quite a while. It was nice seeing them, especially since the older kids (age 3 1/2) actually played together. Okay, so there were a few fights over toys, but overall, it was a great time and plans were made to do it again very soon. Yay.

The playdate was all boys, except for Katie, but we all know she can hold her own. I think she may have taken this tricycle out from under someone.

Holiday Weekend At Home.

You wouldn't know it from looking at her, but Katie hasn't been feeling well. In fact, we canceled all of our plans this weekend because of her cold. Hmmm...however, now that I look at these pictures, I wonder if she was really that sick. Oh well, a weekend in was kind of nice.

Good Things Come In Small Packages.

Katie may be small but she's tough! Luckily her big brother is very tolerant and doesn't even get mad when she tackles him. He puts up with a lot, but then he really seems to adore her. Today he wanted to play outside, but only if Katie could go too. Gotta love that.
