Under Kitty's Pillow

The other day Kitty told me she had been saving candy under her pillow for a special treat in the middle of the night.  Ever since she has taken a portion of her treats to place under her pillow.  Today I took a peek...

The sequel

Are you sick of the Christmas pictures yet? Too bad, I took about 50 and don't have any more recent ones.

Wednesday night Kitty and I were talking about school the next morning...

"Do you think Devon will be there?"

She just started to giggle with her hand in front of her mouth. It was a giggle reminiscent of a 13 year old girl. It was disturbingly giddy.

"He said he was going to kiss me!" More giggles. "And I'm not even a MOM!" Giggle, giggle.

When she got home from school the following day I casually asked about Devon.

"Oh, he forgot all about it."

Phew, another one dodged!

I thought I had a few more years...

This evening I had a conversation with Kitty:

"Did you know I have a boyfriend at school? It's Devon."

My heart literally stopped. I was shocked by my reaction, I mean, what is a 4 year old relationship anyway?

I wanted to make sure this Devon had good intentions, so I pried a little, "What does it mean to have a 'boyfriend'?"

"Someone who will kill spiders for you."

Phew! We don't have to have that talk yet.

"So does Devon know he's your boyfriend?"

"Of course!"

"How did it happen?"

"I was helping him finish decorating his dinosaur and, POOF, it just happened."

If only it were that easy...

Kitty's Pictures Volume II

Taking a break in the "pile" she and John love to make and hate to put away.

She got a hold of the camera again, I love what it reveals about her life.

Mmmm... Still Life with Oreo

She certainly has an eye for composition.

(I promise I've dusted since this photo was taken).

Happy Birthday Sweet Kitty!

Katherine turned 4 today! These pictures are from our little party a week ago.

Sandy made the requested "castle cake"-- waaaayyyy better than my Dora fiasco that ended up in the trash two years ago!

The girls made princess crowns.

Sophie and Penn- I love this picture!

Kitty and Sophie-- two brown babies.

Sandy, Katherine, and one very tired Daddy.

Really? Is this not the cutest nephew anyone could have?

Katherine is such a delight to have in our family. She is a crack up and a doll. We always have so much fun with her bubbly personality.

Happy Birthday Stinkles!

Kitty's world

"What are you doing?"

"Just licking the window."

I just erased literally 100 pictures that Kitty took on my camera. I saved a few of what seem to be important reflections of her life.

See the blank spot? That's where she sleeps.

More babies.

Her cat, Sara.

Kitty's kitchen.

Clearly an exciting round of Candy Land.

The Jolly Green Giant.
