Finger painting and play doh

Kate and I spent a lot of time this weekend playing with play doh. Mostly she just tells me what things she wants to make her. I'm getting pretty good at sculpting with it, maybe I'll have to post some pictures. We also got her some finger paints this weekend which I took a video of her painting. She didn't really like to her fingers full of paint. I bought the color wonders which is pretty good since it's clear until it goes on the special paper. It's not messy at all.

We also went to visit Kate's great grandma today. Kate had a good time at her house exploring and finding all kinds of treasures. She especially likes the plastic animals from when we used to go to dinner in Frankenmouth and they would put them in the orange sherbert for dessert.

Up North

Kate had a great time on vacation up North. She was especially excited to have so many people around to entertain her. She really enjoyed swimming in the lake although she hasn't quite mastered floating she mostly just liked to walk. She also gathered a rock collection, luckily there were plenty of rocks to keep her busy. We took her to get ice cream when it was about 95 degrees out. I should have gotten pictures of that since the adults couldn't even eat the ice cream without it melting Kate was pretty messy.

She had Uncle Ben to play in the sand with and somehow she had everyone chasing the beach ball Aunt Denise bought for her. She thought it was hilarious to kick it into the water and have someone chase it. We had a good trip!

It's been awhile since I've posted...

Kate has been very busy and I have not been feeling very feel which is why I haven't posted lately. We're very excited that Kate is going to be a big sister. The morning sickness (all day sickness) hit me harder than last time although maybe it just felt that way since I had a 2 year old trying to drag me to play. Finally now that I'm 12 weeks pregnant I feel better.

Jamisen has been taking Kate to do all kinds of fun stuff while I have been stuck in the house. She has been to the "giant pool" and went down the kids waterslide all by herself. She is talking all the time and is very bossy. She loves to go to the playground and ride her bike.

She's getting very grown up, now we just have to work on potty training!
