Happy Birthday Sweet Katie!

I think Kates had a pretty good birthday. She got everything she asked for, even some of the things she forgot she asked for. She's such a sweet girl, she deserves the world in my eyes. Katie had a fun day. She woke everyone up really early and opened her presents. Then her thoughtful aunt brought her her favorite strawberry drink from the coffee shop. At lunch time she said,"Can I please have Top Ramen for lunch, because it is my birthday." So, of course I had to make that. Her brothers were very happy with her lunch decision. I thought, wow that's easy, I wonder why she would want that. I didn't argue; I had a lot of work to do before her party. She got an itunes gift card, she used up in about four seconds. She was so happy when her party guests finally arrived. We had her favorite dinner, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, stuffing, rolls and no thanks, she doesn't want any of the meat. After that we took a big cousin photo. I will definatly be posting later. Thanks so much to Jennifer for organizing the chaos. I think I got some good ones. Then it was time for spice cake with cream cheese frosting and present opening. It was a suprisingly stressful day, but birthdays usually are for some reason. It didn't help that Sam was a big booger most of the day. I wonder how babies know the perfect time to have a bad day? All in all it was fun. The best part of it... I get to do another party tomorrow with her friends. I was so worried about her first party, I don't know how ready we are to have another one. AAAAHHHH!

(I had to use the Katie and Tommy song, she used to love it when she was little. She would say,"Mom, do I have to marry a boy named Tommy?")

Last night Myke was laying down by Sammy. He likes to distract you while he's suppose to be going to sleep. As he was laying down he looked at Myke and started reciting every word he knows. Uh-oh, no-no, here you go, thank you, up, binky, blankie, night-night. He thought he was sooo funny.

The other day I was in the other room and I hear my kids talking. By the way they aren't even suppose to be eating downstairs.
Kyler: Just bring me down a plate, so I can put crackers on it for Sammy.
Katie: O.k, Maybe we should just bring the high chair downstairs.
Kyler: Oh yeah, just bring the high chair downstairs
Katie: O.k
Mom: Noooo!!! Do not take the high chair downstairs
Katie: Mom said No
Kyler : Oh

Jonas colored two identical pictures of Santa Claus. I showed them to Katie, wondering if he might have accidentally taken one of the other kids' at school. She said,"They aren't the same mom, Santa's standing on his head in one of them". I looked at it and I was holding one upside down. Okay Katie?!

Sometimes the kids bring woodchips home in their shoes from the school playground. There happened to be one by the front door. Sammy was scootin' fast towards it, with a look of serious intent on his face. Katie picked it up and then it was gone. I told her to throw it outside and she just looked at me. I said, "Where did you put it?" She looked caught and said,"I threw it down the heater vent."

I got braces about a month ago and they are very painful and irritating. Kyler still has his braces on too. Today they put a power chain on my teeth which really hurts. So, I was talking to Kyler in the car and I said,"braces are the most annoying thing in the world, don't you think?" Kyler said, "no, they're not that bad." And I said,"what could possibly be more annoying?" He just looked at me and said," You....complaining about your braces."

Katie was telling me how she liked one of her friend' s outfits, and that she wanted an outfit like that. Her other friend said,"Oh now you like her clothes, you wanted to wear clothes like mine last week." Katie said, "That was one day, (kid's name). And her friend said,"nu huh you did it yesterday too, we had the same shoes on." Katie looked at her and said, "Yeah, that was just an accident".

While I was brushing Katie's hair before bed, Jonas came in to inform us that the Oympics start in three days Katie says excitedly,"That's so cool Jonas, are you going to be in it."

On Sunday we all went to The Gateway with the Walkoviak's. When we were walking back to our car in the parking garage Jonas said,"Mom, wait for me, I'm too young to die."
