It's been two weeks since our last blog...apologies to all of those anxious for pictures of Ms. Katie. We've had a busy two weeks, filled with lots of adventures!
Ms. Katie had fun painting with "sidewalk chalk paint". She loved swishing the paint in the container and playing with it on the sidewalk. She liked stepping in the paint and making footprints all over the patio.
Katie has been enjoying the t.v. a lot more lately. She has learned to turn on the t.v. and loves spending time with her Daddy cuddling on the couch, watching Sesame Street.
We've continued to work on the room and are making great progress. Here's the stud walls up with all the electrical and insulation put in.
Even though the weather has been super hot (we're talking 107 degrees!) we've been having fun playing outside. Katie's new kiddie pool is great for cooling off. Even dipping your legs in the water keeps you pretty cool and we have a huge tree in our backyard that gives off plenty of shade.
Knox has been coming over a few times a week to play with Katie. They enjoy playing together and I try to keep them busy with lots of activities. They enjoy coloring and painting. One activity they love is sensory play. Last week they got to play with lasagna noodles, manicotti noodles and big shell noodles. They loved the sounds they made when they played with them.
Katie has discovered mud baths!

Katie joined the summer reading program at the library this summer. She got reading awards for reading a certain number of books and visiting the library-a medal and a stuffed bat.
Our garden would be doing great if it wasn't for the rabbits eating all the vegetables just as they start to ripen. They've completly destroyed our green beans. But, oh well, Katie has been having a lot of fun digging in the garden and tasting the food we're able to get to before the rabbits do.

Rich went on vacation and during his week off he worked every morning on the den. Katie and I spent as much time with Rich as we could but, Katie needed some interesting things to keep her busy. One activity we did was take a piece of styrofoam and use tools to screw and hammer golf tees into it.
We also played with pom poms. We poured, stirred and counted the pom poms. These were a big hit with Katie...she loves stirring!
One of the more exciting activities we did during Rich's vacation was playing in jell-o. We made red, green, yellow and blue jell-o, put it in the tub and whoo-hoo! Katie had so much fun squishing, throwing, smearing and of course tasting the jell-o.
Storytime on thursday was a lot of fun. There were only a few kids and for art after the storytimes we all went out to the courtyard and drew with sidewalk chalk.
Katie got to play with fireworks for the first time. We got her snakes and the little poppers you throw on the ground. She liked watching the snakes and tried to blow on them to make the fire go out. She also had fun stepping on the poppers.
We got Katie a new baby. She calls it her "bee". She likes to carry it around, feed it it's bottle and wash it with a washrag. At night she wants to take it to bed and she covers it up with a blanket right next to her.
We made pancakes a few times this week for breakfast and Katie gobbled them up...seriously she ate three pancakes for breakfast one morning along with a big glass of milk.
Rich worked all week on the den and here's the end result. All the drywall is up and the room is puttied. Next step is doors and ductwork.
