"Singin' in the Rain"

Monday, August 25, 2008
Sometime in the middle of August we had the most perfect rainstorm. There was no thunder or lightning, just a slow, steady rain. Reese loves to play outside, so I let her go out and play in the rain. She LOVED it! She was soaked and a little chilled when she came back in, but it was worth it!

Reese has entered her ballerina, rock star, purse carrying stage. I thought these pictures were cute.




Me through Katie's eyes.

Katie made a book at school to give to me for Mother's Day. She filled in the words that are bold and in italics. The spelling is hers, too. This is how it reads:


COVER: I love you

PAGE 1: I love it when you smile.

PAGE 2: You always are nics actually you are relly nics! XOXOXOXO

PAGE 3: You help me get reddy for school.

PAGE 4: You like to clean the house.

PAGE 5: You are nice because yuo love us!

PAGE 6: You want me to clean my room.

PAGE 7: I love you because you are lovey.

PAGE 8: You are the greatest than eny thing.

PAGE 9: Thank you for cleaning the haus.

It was a very pretty book, all colored and neat. I loved it, but I couldn't help but notice that she referred to me cleaning the house TWICE! The thing is, I am constantly cleaning the house but it's always dirty. I just cannot get ahead.

Oh well! Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers and others out there!

More Katieisms!

This one will tickle the funny bone, especially our Mormon friends! Katie went to visit a couple of our friends who happen to attend the Mormon church. This is what she told me when we got home...

Katie: You know, one of the dictionaries at Ed and Cathy's house is afraid of caterpillars.

Me: The DICTIONARY is afraid of caterpillars? What are you talking about?

Katie: Well, one of the dictionaries told me to put a caterpillar on the other one. When I did he started yelling and jumping around.

Me: How in the world did a dictionary talk to you or jump around? What kind of dictionary are you talking about? ( I was VERY puzzled at this point.)

Katie: Momma! You know! The dictionaries! Like the ones that always visited us when we were in Virginia! The ones in the white shirts! The Elders!

Me: Do you mean MISSIONARIES?
Katie: Yeah! The dictionaries!

Wow... I was blown away. It was so funny! Katie got mad at me for laughing, but it just cracked me up!

Katie was VERY serious about this next "Katieism". I took her a Sonic lunch to school one day and dropped it off. This is the conversation we had when I picked her up that afternoon:

Katie: Did you know that the salt from Sonic is poisonous?

Me: The salt at Sonic is poisonous? Who told you that?

Katie: Nobody had to tell me, it's written right on the package... "Ten died".

Me: The package of salt says ten DIED? I don't think they would put that on their salt packages.

Katie: Yes it did! It said ONE-ZERO-D-I-D-E.

Me: (giggling by now) Katie, it's I-O-D-I-D-E, not ONE-ZERO-D-I-D-E. That spells iodide. That is the main ingredient in salt.

Katie: Oh, well, it looked like ten died!

I have to say I am proud of my big girl. She made the "All Around All Star" list at school again for the second quarter. That means she made all A's! Hooray! She also got an award for no tardies, but I'm not sure how that happened. She must've snuck into class a time or two!

We should be dancin' - YEAH!

My girls just crack me up. They love to dance, and Reese only knows one move. Round & round & round!









It doesn't matter what kind of music is playing, these girls just have to move!
