What did you say?

"Holy crackers!" Miss K's version of holy cow/holy cr** or the overused awesome.

Ol' what's his name

Miss K came home from school today and informed us she watched the new president in the library. "Ya know Mommy, A Rock Obama!"

Whats up? Not much!

This week has been pretty uneventful in our house. Miss K had a friend over after school on Wednesday and we made play dough cookies. She was out of school on Friday and was climbing up the walls due to immense boredom.

The Mister was in Denver from Monday to Thursday enjoying every second of his long meetings (wink, wink). While the Mister was away, Auntie Jenna was here and we had some girly girl fun. The Mister and I were reminded how blessed we are to have a temple 5 miles from our home.

We received a fun package on Friday afternoon from Nana. This included a FANCY eraser for Miss K's dry erase board and a fun little kitchen gadget for me, among other cool treats. Mom - I went to buy a small box of powdered milk today, I am craving the smell of bread.

Oh, one other small thing, I've lost 10 pounds since Christmas.

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.
