Like Mommy

Kaitlyn's birthday was great! Everyone had a lot of fun - including the adults who decided to race through the obstacle course and climb on all the equipment. We now have a new "boyfriend" picture since her little boyfriend of 2 years was at the party.

We went to a Jeep Owner's appreciation dinner on her actual birthday. It was a pretty good meal. The talking was nice and short. The highlight of the evening were the raffle drawings. Daddy won a jeep hat. Momma won a jeep t-shirt. Kaitlyn won an "IPOD SHUFFLE"!!!!!!! She got so excited because now she is "just like momma!!" Then she asks me "Can I have your extra cover so we can be the same-same?"

The True Blond

Please explain to me how such an intelligent child can be such a little ding-dong!!! Yesterday, Kaitlyn was throwing something in the kitchen garbage. (This particular garbage can opens by stepping on a foot pedal at the base. This child uses this can several times a day and has been doing so for a very long time.) She starts yelling at us that she needs help because her hand is stuck. I come running out of the bedroom to find her with her hand in the garbage can. I just started laughing and told her to step on the pedal and open it up "GOOFY"!!!! Mark comes out to see what's going on and just shakes his head and walks away. She has now been informed that we are going to tease her about this for a very long time.

Birthday Party Trio

The plans for Kaitlyn's 5Th birthday party have been finalized. The invitations have all been delivered. A Princess cake will be ordered. There will be princess plates for the girls and spider man plates for the boys. However, before we even get to her party, there are 2 other parties the weekend before (1 gymnastics and 1 swim party). So - now we have purchased the presents for the others, Daddy will take her to the gymnastic birthday party & Mommy will get her to the pool party. I think I need a nap just thinking about the next 2 weekend's activities!!!

The day we delivered the invitations, we received 2 RSVP's and Kaitlyn burst into tears because everybody else hadn't called. (Good God child - they haven't even had time to get home from work yet!!!) "Oh.....I can't believe I'm so silly!" Five minutes later - "Do you think their home yet?" This is gonna be a very long 2 weeks until this party ;) .
