Precious Gem

"Mom, what day are you going to start losing weight?" Thanks for pointing out the obvious to everyone at the store while we were buying your snow boots. I can't forget to thank you for reminding me that I need to buy the food they sell on TV and how I can pay for it by selling my gold. (It snowed all day Tuesday and she watched way too many cartoons.)

Miss K "helped" mop the floor while the Mister was at YM on Wednesday. Thursday morning she woke up and walked to the back door, low and behold muddy paw prints everywhere. "Uuuggghhh! I just mopped this floor last night and it is already a mess!" Join the club.

"Your just KILLING me!" Love, when you drag your dollhouse, furniture, barbies, doll's and the kitchen sink to the family room, it is your job to take it back upstairs before bed. I'll try not to "kill" you tomorrow.

Gratitude

Miss K's journal entry at school this week:

"I am thankful for Guitar Hero."

ps. Thank you Auntie Jenna for leaving your Wii here. (Miss K loves to bowl and "be" Hannah Montana!) Also, did I mention Miss K won't actually play Guitar Hero, but she will sing along! "I wanna rock and roll all night......and party every day". Yes, she has sung this at school and no, her teacher hasn't asked what we do all night! I'm sure there are days when she goes to school and seems as if she has been a rocking and a rolling all night

She's having a party......

and ya'll are invited! A pity party that is.

At the dinner table this evening:

I just want to be alone. I don't want any of you to talk to me. (Pause for effect.)

I just wish my birthday was everyday. I wish my birthday was everyday. What would it be like if my birthday was everyday? (Pause for effect.)

As she places her bracelet's and necklace on the table, I'm done with fashion. I just can't be beautiful anymore. (Pause for effect.)

Of course there were plenty of hmmm and hah's in between!

(This was all because we would not let her sit on the dog crate and eat her dinner all "by her own".)

Sea Princess of the Week

Miss K was the Student spotlighted this last week in school. We were asked to make a poster to include all things Kaitlyn and bring it in on Tuesday. Mom went to school on Wednesday and read Miss K's favorite book, Pinkalicious, and Friday Dad took in cupcakes (store bought of course) to share with the class.

Just Because...

We love you! Thanks for making us laugh and keeping us on our toes.

Words

I work in Miss K's classroom everyone Wednesday for an hour. During this time, I'm ableto work with all of the kids as they work through my center. I also get to observe Miss K in a different environment. This particular time, Miss K was not in my group, but I could hear the conversation between the group. Next thing I know, I hear my sweet girl saying, "Yeah, you do have a stinky butt!"

Now, there are certain words which are not allowed in our home. I like to say they have been removed from the our family dictionary. These include, but are not limited to, stupid, shut-up and butt. I hate the word bu**, so hearing it from Miss K , in school no less, was a little shocking. Then she realized what she said, turned to look at me at mouthed "I'm sorry". I'm grateful she realized what she said, but we still had a little chat on the way home!

Got Thirst?

During our most recent grocery shopping trip, Miss K noticed a new type of hot cocoa with bunny shaped marshmallows. She asked if we could buy some and I told her no. I explained we had some at home and it was probably too hot outside to enjoy some cocoa.

As we walked passed this older couple in the store, she asked me if we could go home and have some beer, since she'd abandoned the hot cocoa idea. (What?!! Beer?!!) I asked her what she was talking about, she said "You know mommy, beer, it's my favorite!" Oh sorry, I must have forgot? "You know mommy, you and I drink beer together all of the time!" (This is news to me, maybe it is her "other mommy" she always talks about. And yes, by then the older couple was giving me "The look".) We had the talk about why we don't drink beer and then she said, "Mommy I think I forgot a word, I meant root beer!"
