Katie's Christmas List

A couple (overachieving) folks have asked what Katie would like for Christmas, so I decided to create a running list for anyone interested.

Today I saw a new Crayola product - "Pip Squeaks" - they are small washable markers. She is currently really into drawing and coloring - her people drawings now have a body (fortunately for them) and fingernails.

She also really likes balls - all sorts, preferably ones that won't break the windows! She REALLY likes to throw them up at the ceiling fan and watch them get thrown across the room by the fan. She might have learned that by seeing SOMEONE (who is not me) that lives in this house do it!

I'll add more when I think of them!

11-14-05 - Okay - here is another idea. The 40th anniversary edition of "The Sound of Music" is coming out on DVD in the next couple weeks. That was one of my favorites and Katie loves Mary Poppins, so I think she would like it too!

A day in the life of us....

Well, I am very confused because it is still SUMMER here in SC and that doesn't match with the calendar. Also confusing is why God didn't create leaves to just disappear - vaporize, whatever - at this time of year! Or maybe, they could become edible, so we would feel wealthy when we look at the stacks of leaves in the yard. It sure would make raking them up feel less like a waste of time!

Anyway, there is good news - Micah slept 6 hours in a row last night so we had to throw a little party. Katie's preschool program was a HOOT! It lasted all of 11 minutes but they were quite entertaining! The best part was when the little girl sitting beside her started a shoving match with the boy on the other side! Katie kept right on singing, right through the rumble! We heard her voice over the crowd (26 3 year olds) a few times. Go figure that our kid would be loud!

I guess that's the action for today. My friend Tiffany showed me how to make it so you can post a comment without setting up an account, so hopefully I've fixed it and you can leave a line if you want! I hope you are having a good day....

I guess we're blogging now...

Well, I only intended to post a reply to a friends blog and I ended up creating my own. I guess I'm a sucker fo following the prompts. Anyway, I guess I'll just start typing and you can quit reading when you get tired!

We took Micah to the dr today for a checkup and shots, which were not so fun! He's a bleeder! Anyway, he is now 13 pounds 11 ounces! Someone forgot to tell him that he is supposed to double his birth weight in 6 months, not 3! He is doing great, rounding out the 90th percentile, unlike his sister who hung out in the 25th!

Katie has a program at preschool tonight. I'm sure you'll get to see the video next time you come visit! They are singing fall songs. She won't tell us anymore than that, or else she doesn't know, which is possible!

Rick is working on Christmas orders for jewelry, so he will be busy for a while. We are also looking at getting online with his jewelry stuff, so that will be cool.

I guess that's all. This could be a very small blog spot - we aren't very exciting. I'll try to think of something more exciting before I post again, or at least make something good up! See ya - Teresa
