Fun Day!

Today was a really fun day despite the car incident this morning. As you can see Kate had fun playing in Mommy's purse as I was playing my FB scrabble and David was making us some dinner. Then you can see where she had been enjoying her cherry pie. Then, after baths, we had a super time turning up the music and dancing the night away. Now all is quiet and peaceful and ready for some dreamland.

Crash!

David heard a crash this morning and this is what he found in the garage. Two of the ceiling plaster boards had collapsed along with the bins of clothes that were on them. What a mess! Unfortunately, we didn't get the claim in time to get it fixed today (missed it by about 30 minutes). And of course it is a holiday weekend, so we have to wait until Tuesday. The car is undriveable because of the windshield, so hopefully we'll get the rental tomorrow morning so that we won't be stuck in the house all weekend since David's little S10 doesn't seat 2 + car seat. We're just grateful no one was hurt and it will all be fixed in a few days. Oh well, you live and you learn. Such a minor thing in this world of turmoil :)

Time to Post!

Katelyn helping me change the sheets, relaxing on the LoveSac, and then Disney Trip.

Concert Pics

It's pretty fun to go to a concert with a fairly new singer. They don't know all the "rules". He wanted to come out into the crowd, so he just walked down the stage and started walking in the aisle, and everyone flocked to him and then he had to head back on stage and said he was in trouble with his tour manager for that :) Then a couple of songs later, he started climbing the scaffolding. Wonder if he got in trouble for that too :)

View from the Hotel Room

David and I are in West Palm Beach today and tomorrow (so I can see David Cook in concert tonight). Here is the view from our hotel. The water is just breathtaking and the weather couldn't be more perfect!! We're at the Sunfest. More pics of vacation to come...

Katelyn cooling off w/o the A/C

When your A/C breaks and your daughter has red cheeks and looks flushed, you just find a way to cool her down. How about a cool splash in the kiddie pool? After a while, it was too cold, so we moved it inside into the warm water in the tub :) With bubbles!

Sidewalk Chalk

Just us again trying new things. :)

Playing at Nicole's

The Child becomes the Mommy

Today was an eventful day. Those of you who have been to my house have seen the gate we have between the living room and the kitchen. It is made of iron and is 100% safe for the non-clutsy people of this world. Unfortunately I am not one of those people. As I was walking into the kitchen this afternoon, I don't remember exactly what happened, I just remember the "falling" sensation without any way to stop myself. My foot somehow got stuck somewhere and I knocked the gate over and fell right on top of it. It was all in slow motion for me, and yet, I still couldn't figure out how not to keep falling. All I could think of was the word "Ow!" So I started to say it very loudly and over and over again and tried to stop myself because I knew Kate would get upset. As she saw me on the floor screaming "OW! OW! OW!" she began to cry and tried to come to my rescue. The gate was on the floor between us, so she started to walk on top of the gate to get to me. It was very wobbly which I think made her even more scared and make me cry even harder that my daughter was ignoring the fact that she was really scared and doing whatever she needed to to get to her mommy who was in pain. I was in so much pain I was sobbing by this time, but yet smiling too because of her as I helped her across the gate and then she hugged me until my crying stopped. What a brave little girl! It is starting to bruise now, so I had to take a picture. Incidentally, I want to end this post on a happy note and share the picture of her as I took the camera away from her. Isn't she adorable?
