I updated the blog last weekend, but it didn’t post for some reason (hm). So, here are two batches of pictures from our last two weekends. You can see that one of our family projects this weekend was washing our very dirty cars. Katherine took it as her personal mission to make sure that our bucket remained full of soapy water – “more soap.” She must have put several tablespoons of dishwashing soap into the bucket. She even decided that “tata” had her own towel! The amusing part of this story is that Steve decided to futz with a PC to get some music. About 20 minutes later, I had finished the sedan and K had started in on the wagon! One hour later our cars were washed, vacuumed and wiped down. We even excavated K’s car seats.
Shiver
One of Katherine’s new words when she’s cold is “shiver.” On Sunday, she got sopping wet and we ended up stripping her and changing her clothes. Last night, I walked in the house and found K standing at the back door. She looked very unhappy, saying “Shiver….hold me.” So, I pulled her up and within 30 seconds, she had gotten sick all over me. I was racing up the stairways and to the bathway, thereby ensuring that Steve had quite the cleanup job. ๐
She doesn’t really have a fever, just a slight 99.5 at most. But, she does have a slight stomach bug. Tonight she had crackers and applesauce for a quick snack. What’s unheard of for her is that she sat on my “lap” and read books tonight. We watched 10 minutes of Olympic swimming (TV is a treat only when she’s sick!), with her cuddled on a pillow under a blanket on the couch. It’s amazing, even when she’s sick she still kept me on my toes tonight.
Swim Party
We went to a swim party this past Saturday to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Part of the fun was watching Steve blow up some of the plastic animals. Well, it took a while but Katherine finally ventured onto a plastic bee with Steve. ๐
