Catching up

It's been about a week since I blogged last. I've been trying hard to keep this updated, but boy it's hard! I don't know where the time goes. I used to go to playdates all the time, but with Katie in school (even though it's only a few hours a couple times a week), I don't have much time go anywhere since I have to drop/pick her up. It suits me fine because I have so much to get done. I survived last week with the 3 day conference I went to. I didn't enjoy waking up so early in the morning, and the traffic was horrible. However, I enjoyed seeing and listening to Dr. Carbone again and catching up with Gail.
Mother's day was really nice. Stu and I slept in until 10am, and the kids were left to fend for themselves :) Katie did wake up really early and came into our room, and I have to say, I am not a morning person, and wasn't so cheerful towards her when she kept coming in asking where the glue was, help her get the paints, and so on. Katie is such a good girl though. When I woke up, I saw her cleaning up her art supplies and putting them back in the closet. She was so excited to tell me that she made me 2 Mother's day cards, and 1 for grandma. She said she was like Santa, because while I was sleeping, she made me the cards to surprise me, just like Santa does when he brings presents. Needless to say, I felt guilty being so grumpy with her earlier. Thankfully she forgot all that, especially when I said that I was so lucky to have her as my daugher. That day we went to a little shop called the Diamond shop in McKinney and I replaced my broken pandora bracelet finally, and got 2 charms to add to my bracelet. I love them. Then we went to Le Madeleine and had my favorite cream of potato soup. Then we went to my mom's to have dinner with her. It was a nice day.
Here are some photos I've been meaning to post in the past.

Katie wearing her cowgirl hat for Western day at school. Unfortunately, I had a dentist appointment that day, and daddy forgot to take the hat with them.

I painted Katie's finger nails and put polka dots on them. She loved them so much and was showing them off to everyone, and I mean everyone.

Katie being a show stopper and pushing Sophie in a baby stroller. That poor stroller.

The kids over taking the car. Sophie knows what's next and she doesn't want to get out of the front.

Instead of going to bed, we were acting silly and having a great time.

This is what Katie and daddy made me at the Home Depot Workshop. It was so sweet.

She was so proud of it.

Sophie with grandma. My mom has so much energy, I need some of it!
