This Week

Dear Kate,
We've been keeping busy this past week with lots of fun activities.  We blew up the bouncy house and let you have a go in it!

Man alive do you love it! And your sister loves jumping with you in it!  It makes me a wee bit nervous, but I am learning that you are a strong little peanut!  Got to be, with a sister like yours :)  You love sliding down it and hopping up and down on your knees!
You and your sister also went on a little drive around the neighborhood.  You were a little apprehensive about the whole sister driving you around, but did rather well.  Mommy eventually had to pull the plug because your sis would get so excited about a butterfly or something and steer right into the curb.  Fine for her, but you can't quite handle the whip lash...

We also had a lovely walk through the neighborhood in the pouring rain!  It was raining like no other, and we were tired of being inside, so Abs and I put on our rain boots, got you in the bjorn, and got the biggest umbrella we had.  It was actually quite pleasant walking in the rain!


On Wednesday, we met all the cousins for a fun day at the trampoline park!  That's right, a whole bunch of trampolines in one place - also known as heaven in Mommy's mind :)  And you got to do some jumping!!  All the cuz's were there including Alexis, Caroline, Harrison, Spencer, Ellie and Aunt Amy and Aunt Carly!  Alexis loved showing you the ropes to a good jumper!

And Aunt Amy proved you can be over 40 and still do toe touches!!

 We had a fun time doing flips and jumping in the foam pits and you loved crawling around everywhere!  After jumping we got some lunch at the aquarium museum where Harrison and Spencer made it their mission to make you smile!  Mission accomplished very easily, no doubt!

Also this week you woke up with this lovely curl!

I thought it was just way to cute to not take a picture.  I also sang "We represent the Lollipop Kids, the Lollipop kids, the Lollipop Kids" all day long :)  Too cute!!!
And at one point this week, your sister was having a melt down and opened the gate just to be, well, a 3 year old, and well, you climbed all the way to the top.  Of the stairs. The wooden stairs.  Someone had a heart attack and it wasn't you or your sister who was in BIG TIME TROUBLE.  But then I was super impressed and wanted to film you doing, you know, to show you off, but you decided to just hang out on the bottom step - but man alive you sure are cute!
