What little girl wouldn’t want unicorn lips?!
Let me just tell you how excited Katie was when I told her she could wear mommy’s lip stuff and that I had unicorn gloss for her! (It’s LipSense Opal gloss.)
Giving Maggie some love.
Katie loves all her animals.
Ice cream truck!
The kids have been bugging us and bugging us and bugging us about getting ice cream from the ice cream man ever since he started coming around this spring. We promised them we’d do it once before we moved—but the timing would have to be right since he usually comes to the playground after school and that is right before dinner. So today we were at Julie’s and she was going to get something for Kayleigh and offered to get something for Katie… Well I couldn’t very well have Katie telling Owen she got something so I texted Tom and had him send Owen out. They were thrilled.
OMG I CAN’T EVEN.
The gathering of the towels.
How on earth did we get so many? I haven’t bought any in years! Plus we donated about two garbage bags the last time we moved. #pcspurge
This was how much we ended up giving away and donating. My friend Caitlin and our vet clinic were both thrilled. 🙂
She finally went across after two months!
We have been trying to coach her over the top for two months now… She will get to the top and just stay there, then claim she’s too scared. Today she finally did it!! And then did it again and again like it was nothing!
She figured this out on her own.
Our friends bring this little car to the playground and mostly it goes unused. But today Katie realized they could do this. 🙂
Katie’s groovy moves
Presents for us for our new huge back yard!!
Super soaker water guns!
This is how we clean up Katie’s spot after dinner outside.
This is what she does on the swings now.
This kid.
Katie’s new chair
We picked up this chair today from a yard sale and Katie immediately used it for her homework.
With an assist from big brother…
Happy Mother’s Day 2017
Katie pointed out that she gave me chicken hands and high heels. 🙂
As soon as I sat down…
This is what happened as soon as I sat down today after the craziness of my launch party.
My launch party was a success!
So, I just had my first in-home party (my business launch!)…and while I thought it was a total hot mess, they told me everything was fine and they had fun. (There were only six ladies and they are all good friends so I could be honest with them and ask for their honest opinions.) I dislike selling and feel like I stink at it so really just felt like I was pretty much out of control the whole time and consequently I felt totally off my game and I felt like I looked like an idiot (I know we are always hardest on ourselves). But they all seemed happy and bought stuff so it’s all good. And I know it will get easier with practice…
We didn’t take any official selfies but I did snap a few quick shots so I could remember who bought what (I was still figuring out how to use my credit card system!)
Why do I have to leave these people? Stupid military.
Another awesome Friday night gathering where all the kids get along (tonight there were 15!), the adults get along and have an amazingly fun time (tonight included shots of fireball whiskey, cigars, and stories about tattoos and piercings), and reluctantly leaving just before 11pm. I can cry just thinking about leaving…
Pre-party family
This is how she dressed to go out for dinner.
I missed taking a photo of her clothes—she put a ballerina tutu and leg warmers on over her clothes. And she’s into mismatched socks now.
Could she get any closer to the edge?
Rainy day bed cuddles
Katie on Mario at Target
It was all I could do to not buy it all.
I missed this last year so when I saw it today at Target I had to buy some, even though the last thing I need to be doing before we move is buying more stuff.
Katie is 4 years 10 months today.
She can’t almost be five. She just can’t.
She’s not fighting it—she’s purring!
While Charlie may appear to be fighting it, she’s purring like crazy. She really loves Katie.
Baseball Tonight
The cuteness. The pose.
Garden stone Christmas present
I finally decided to do this project today.
Wrapped around her finger.
I never take Katie in this cart because it’s huge and a pain. But she has daddy wrapped around her finger.
