Katie is a Pokémon addict. She knows all the characters and what they evolve to. She drew an Oddish last night. 🙂
This is what a real Oddish looks like:

Katie and every play kitchen but ours.
If you recall, she has a play kitchen. But she never used it so we moved it to the basement. Which means whenever she sees a kitchen anywhere else she has to play with it. (This is an on-base playgroup we go to with friends every week.)
Me: Katie, do you want us to bring your kitchen upstairs to play with?
Katie: No.
Of course not.
Visiting her pre-k class!
Today was the “meet and greet” for potential peer models. Even though they’ve already asked us back, they want to see her interactions with others. We had classroom play time first (during which we also happened to have a lockdown drill—Katie did awesome!) and then it was out to the playground where she got to swing and play with her friend Mason from last year.
She loves to spin!
Happy early birthday to me!
It started out as post-swim lessons dinner but turned into my birthday dinner because Tom is sneaky. 🙂
We all really enjoyed it and we learned Katie doesn’t like caramel sauce and Owen’s favorite is hot fudge. (I was partial to the hot fudge myself, though the caramel was better all by itself.)
On our way out, the kids saw other kids getting their picture taken on the PF Changs horse so they had to do it, too. 🙂
Kids are weird, part 723.
It was a really nice day out, so where did the kids play? Across the street in the neighbor’s driveway. Really guys?!
Teamwork!
Hauling in all the outdoor toys for the end-of-season run through the dishwasher…and garbage toss.
Soccer Games Saturday
Today was Katie’s first game and she was SUPER excited…new jersey, new shorts, new shoes, new shin guards, and new headband!! Doesn’t she look the part?!
Katie’s Whale
Complete with water coming out of the blowhole, eyes, and fins.
Katie’s first soccer practice!
She was SOOOO excited to be going to soccer! Earlier in the day when I told her to go put on her soccer clothes, I just meant the clothes she would be wearing to practice (which she knew was her mermaid shirt and her black shorts) but she came down FULLY dressed, complete with socks and shin guards! 🙂
Loving ballet!
She wanted to cuddle…
And Elsa had to be in the picture.
Rainy Monday at the bus stop
A princess and her shoes.
It was 50% off day at the thrift shop so we got Katie a new costume for like $2. And of course my shoes were still out, so…
Waiting for lessons
Miss Thing
Katie’s found photos
We rarely look at the kids’ phones to see what pictures they’ve taken. But I did check Katie’s today. Here are some of my favorites dating back to last October.
She begged to wear my “tall shoes.”
I remembered my good camera for soccer today!
He’s having a blast and getting better every game! Also, my mommy guilt got the better of me and Katie starts soccer practice next week…
Today’s awesome puzzle
A new playground with friends
We dragged them to morning program and they dragged us to a new park!
Halley’s first spirit day!
Black and gold for everyone! (Katie and I were planning on going to the morning program so we dressed for it as well. Also, I was excited to finally wear fall clothes!)
Since daddy was home this morning we got him in a pic, too—but he wasn’t spirited.
And then at school! Can you see Owen?
Someone interrupted the puzzles.
Just us girls.
A Katie-sized book and a Katie-craft!
We went to a new play group on base with friends. Katie loved the size of this book and the sticker craft (which had 3x as many stickers by the time she was done).
Waiting patiently
She has ballet on Tuesdays and I knew we were going somewhere with friends after so I had her pack her backpack. Of course, she thought this meant she was going RIGHT NOW so when I told her we still had an hour, she sat in the doorway waiting and watching the kids walk by to the bus stop.
They shrunk!
Seriously, how awesome is this chair?! But how would you even use it?!
Katie is 4 years 2 months old today!
This is how my afternoon is going.
Kidisms 32
Tom was out Pokémoning with the kids and Katie had the phone. They were headed away from where she needed to be to catch some balls when he heard from the backseat:
I do not know where I’m going.
Katie has been wearing her tap shoes all day (she LOVES them). The kids were going to put their Halloween costumes on to show uncle Rob on their weekly Skype call. As she was walking to get her costume, I heard her mutter:
Katie: Pikachu is not going to have any tap shoes on.
Katie: Crumbs grow in my eyes when I go to sleep at night.
Owen completed a dribbling drill during soccer practice and I heard him ask the coach: Did you see my moves?
We went out to eat after soccer practice. Katie called my Pomegranate Margarita “a big bowl of drink.”
