Fort

I love my fort so much! Nama Vicki and Papa Dick got it for me for Christmas last year and I have always played in it, but now that I am older I really love it! It is where the Prince and Princesses live, where I drive to, where I pretend to sleep, where I put my little pillow, where my soft doggy lives and an all around fun place to play!
Love

Potty Chart

When I was potty training mommy got me a potty chart for when I went poop. Every time I went poop I got to put a sticker on the Disney Princess potty chart. I have been potty trained for a really long time but I still LOVE the potty chart! Good thing mommy bought stickers because I still like to put them on after I go poop. In fact, during my bedtime procrastination I ALWAYS ask to go potty “one more time” and by some miracle always manage to push out at least one poop so I can put a sticker on the potty chart! Look at how many I have!!

Cinderella!

Last Christmas mommy and daddy got me a Cinderella doll that is just my size. I thought it was pretty cool back then (when I was still kinda a baby), but now I think it is totally cool! Since I love Princesses SO much this “just my size” Cinderella is so fun to play with – we dance, we sing, we walk and do so much together!

Papa's Party

This weekend we had a birthday party for Papa! I helped Nama make him an apple pie! We all had pizza, played, opened presents and sang happy birthday (I love that song)! I was so excited to give Papa his present that I was jumping up and down and all over the place (I even did ""EXCITED")! I got him a boxcar for his train set...a Wizard of Oz boxcar since he always calls me Dorothy!

New Cousin!

I am happy to announce that I have a BRAND NEW cousin! Matthew Walter Fimmen was born TODAY and I can not wait to meet him! He is so lucky because his birthday is on Halloween! Nama and Papa drove down today to meet him and to play with Tom and Meghan! I am really excited to have another boy cousin! I love you already Matt!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I had such a fun day today! We played, watched some football (go Chiefs...they won AGAIN), took a nap and then had a Halloween party and trick or treating! Anna, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob, Nama Vicki and Papa Dick all came over for a catered BBQ dinner and fun!

For months I had planned on being a witch and even told mommy I wanted her to paint my face green, but at the last minute (a few days ago) I decided I wanted to be Snow White! Mommy was super happy we already had a cool Snow White costume so I was set! I was a super duper cute Snow White today! I will post some pictures later, but TRUST ME!!

Anna Banana was a.....Banana and it was so cute! You will not believe it but Uncle Rob was a bunch of grapes and Aunt Jenny was a red apple! They were a fruit salad and I thought it was really funny!

We went to the neighborhood Halloween parade and I got to show off my costume and see what all the other kids were wearing. I was super disturbed my a scary Bones costume that kept bleeding on this kids face! I kept having to remind myself it was pretend, but I talked about it all night - even at bedtime. I hope I do not have nightmares!

We went trick or treating and I loved it! I said trick or treat and then said think you as I got my loot! Once we got home we got to have lots of goodies!

I was super lucky because Nama Vicki stayed over at my house really late and I got to play with her! I stayed up late tonight...I LOVE doing that!

Happy Halloween everyone!
Love,
Kate

Battles

The terrible 2's begun in our house right when Kate turned 2 1/2. She is still a doll 98.5% of the time, but when that 1.5% shines through holy moly! We now kick, hit, say "shut up", whine and have a wicked tone whenever it please her. Of course no one but Daddy and Mommy have witnessed such wickedness, but it exists! She is in a bedroom timeout as we speak. I think mommy and daddy are in need of a nice and relaxing time out!
Love,
Mommy

Holiday Mart!!!

Mommy's favorite once a year event was this weekend and I was lucky enough to go shopping with her 2 days! I went last year for a little bit, but was little so did not have as much fun as I did this year! I was such a good little girl. I shopped, ate lots of yummy food and got to see lots of neat things! On Friday I shopped until noon and then Papa Dick picked me up, took me to McDonalds, played with me and then put me down for a nap. Mommy and I stopped by for a few more hours today and got there right when it opened. It was really empty and fun to be able to shop and see everything! I can not wait until next year! It is as annual event and I have joined the shopping girls group!!
Love,
Kate

Here I am when we first got there....

Playing Store

Today mommy and I played store. I am the shopper and mommy and I stroll around my baby through the first floor. The pantry is the store. Mommy is the "payer" and I pay her after I am done shopping in the store. She bags my groceries and takes my money. I cracked mommy up because after I shopped for vegetables I came back to the store. When the "payer" asked why I came back I said "I have a return". When the "payer" asked me why I said "because they are bad and green". The "payer" let me shop some more after my return. I made lots of visits to the store today!

"That the Magic of Macy's"

That is what I just told mom today after I watched football on tv. It was a commercial. I love Macy's!

Papa

I call Papa Ursula and he chases me around!!!

Me and Flounder (Anna!!)

I call Little Anna "Flounder".

Me & Eric!

Eric

I love "The Little Mermaid". Nama has the video at her house and I beg her everyday to go down to the "movie theater" to watch it. Nama is Eric and I am Ariel. I call Nama "Eric" all the time. It is such a habit now that even the first thing I say when I wake up from my nap is "Eric, Eric, Eric" (in my Ariel voice of course) and Nama (Eric) hears me through the monitor and comes to get me! When I pretend to be Ariel (or any of my favorite Princesses : Tiana, Cinderella, Belle and Sleeping Beauty) I change my facial expressions and really am a PRINCESS! I love Disney Princesses and can't wait to see all the movies and go to Disney World!
Love,
Ariel

Hair cut

I got my hair cut last week as some of my curls were going crazy (one side was longer and curlier than the other) and my bangs were getting in my eyes. At the salon I got to sit in a pink Jeep and it was pretty cool! The hair dresser was so nice and she did a good job. I was only sad to see my hair did not fit in a ponytail like Belle's for Beauty and the Beast!

Kate

School Pictures

I officially had my very first school pictures last week and they are really cute! Mommy was all nervous to lose picture control because the pictures were taken during school time and she would not be able to fix my curls before and be there to make sure I smiled. I wore a purple and pink polka dot dress, pink leggings and my pink diamond shoes!!! I did a really good job and smiled for the photographer. I can't wait to show you all the pictures!
Love,
Kate

Open House

This week my school had an Open House. Mommy, Daddy, Nama, Papa, Nama Vicki and Papa Dick all came with me to the open house! I was so excited to show everyone everything that I was super excited and running around like crazy!

Everyone got to see my classroom, my really cool “just my size” potty and sink, my teachers, my playground and all the fun things I love at school. The teachers had my artwork all around the class and we got to find our stuff and bring it all home! I did an art project while I was there and punched out hearts and apples onto paper for everyone. My teachers told really fun stories about me and my class. They said that my Thursday class loves art and that they always have to set out extra.

We all got to play on the playground and I went up and down the slide TONS of times! After we visited my room we went and got a snack and I got a pink “Presbyterian Church of Stanley Preschool” t-shirt that is pretty cool!

After we had a party and my favorite restaurant…Jalepenos! I got to see my favorite worker “Pat” and learned his name is not Pat…it is “Mitch”! I can not believe I have been calling him Pat for all these years! After Jalepenos I announced that we all should go to the CANDY STORE! What a great night!

Louisburg

Last weekend Mommy, Daddy, Nama, Papa, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob, Anna and Miss Mary (Anna’s other Nama) all went to the Louisburg Cider Mill for a tour of the cider mill and to go to the pumpkin patch. We had a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and we got to play and run around all day long. I got to eat homemade cider donuts – YUM and homemade root beer – double YUM!

I got to help push Anna in the wagon and then both Anna and I got pulled! Papa and I then went on our own pumpkin hunt…just Papa and I. We had lots of fun and came back with some great pumpkins….one for Anna, Tom, Meghan and me!!

They even had a tee pee and fun things to play with. I was SO tired after the fun day outside!

Gymnastics!

Today was my very first day of gymnastics and I LOVED it! It is a 50 minute class at Blue Valley Rec and it starts at 10am. Today Mommy and I went to gymnastics. They let the mommy’s or daddy’s go gymnastics with the 2 year olds and it was super cool! We started the class with a great warm up of stretching and then I tumbled, went on a trampoline, did the uneven bars, went through a really cool obstacle course, climbed and even got to play with the HUGE parachute! I can not wait until next week and the week of that! I kept telling mommy all class “I am a gymnastics girl”.

Lambie....

I have about 8 kids in my class...PLUS Lambie that is. Lambie is a staple in my classroom. Everyone loves Lambie! They even let me pull up a chair for Lambie at the craft table. Miss Alicia and Miss Kianna were so surprised last week when Lambie did not have to come out of my basket until nap time. I am getting more and more comfortable at school every day!

Kate

20 minutes

At school last week I made sure everyone in the class knew Nama was going to get her hair cut that day. After nap and during snack time I announced to my teacher Miss Alicia "Nama will be here to pick me up in 20 minutes". Miss Alicia was shocked because it was 2:10 and school is out at 2:30!!!

"Hong Kong"

Mom thinks it is So funny when I say "Hong Kong". I say it just like a little girl who would live there! Mommy is going to Hong Kong and China for 2 whole weeks in a little bit. I am going to miss her So much....but not as much as she says she is going to miss me! Hope she brings me back lots of Hong Kong girl stuff!

Kate

Dress Up

Boy oh boy do I love dress up! Here I am in another Snow White costume. I was pretending to be Belle from Beauty in the Beast though! I had to pretend my dress was all yellow like Belle’s since I do not have one! Good thing I have a great imagination!
Love,
Kate

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch with Nama Vicki and Papa Dick. It was so much fun to go on a hayride, pick our own pumpkins and to see all the cool animals! We got to see the baby chickens, cows, donkeys, goats, pigs, llama’s and horses. I got to run through a haystack maze, play on the slide and see all the kids. I really like this pumpkin patch and can’t wait to go back next year.

When we got home I helped mom decorate the front step with all the cool pumpkins we picked out. It looks SO pretty!
Love,
Kate
