Kate's Babysitting Chores

Kate doesn’t want to blog today so I’m guest blogging for her.

Kate had her book club today. We didn’t get the book until an hour before it started and I was sure she wouldn’t finish it but she read the whole thing in 30 minutes! Yes, it was a short Magic Treehouse chapter book but she’s only 6 years old you know. I was very impressed!

I wasn’t feeling well today and I needed a nap. Love had already taken an early nap so Kate offered to baby sit for me. She did such a good job playing with the baby and making her happy and that made me happy! She did a puzzle with her and played house and then watched a movie.

Kate joins us:

Today I babysat my sister while my Mom and brother were sleeping. In the middle of the movie she started getting fussy so I asked her if she had a stinky diaper and she said NO! The only reason she was crying was because she was sick or she’s growing a new tooth. Then she started pounding on my Mom’s door so I hurried and got her and brought her back. Then my Mom woke up because she started crying even louder when she fell and bonked her head on the floor. My Mom gave me a dollar for babysitting.

That’s the end of Kate’s lovely true story of babysitting her sister.

Daddy's Trip Home

My Dad just barely came home and he’s not leaving for a long, long, long time and that means forever! We went to nickel arcade, we went swimming and that’s all we did fun. The best thing I like about having him home is he can fix our bicycle tires that keep popping. And I like him home because he likes watching movies with me and my Mom never does because she says she’s too busy to watch movies. She’s busy blogging, actually not blogging but cleaning the house that is a pig sty. It’s like a pig’s home with mud because there is mud on the ground and toys and a baby sister making the messes that we have to clean up all day long. That’s the lovely ending of Kate’s true story.

Squished Pumpkin

My pumpkin looks stupid because it getting all squished up. My Mom helped me carve a cat face in it. I was a butterfly for Halloween this year. I got a bag full of candy, dropped it off and went back out. Most of it is gone now! I like to eat my candy at the gym and share it with my friends.

I played with my friend Tater Tot yesterday. We went swimming at the gym and then we went to my house and played house with my kitties ALL DAY LONG! I got tired of it but that was all my friend wanted to do. My Mom talked her into playing a board game with me. She left her toys and her jacket here so now we have to give it back to her.

This is my favorite outfit to wear to Church. I want to wear it every week. Don't I look so pretty?

 

Don't Claw Me in the Neck Please

Today my cat clawed me in the neck. I cried my head off. I told it I hated it and I threw it in the garbage. Just kidding. Actually I threw it in its cage. The other cat was crying. It went meow, meow, meow. I locked the door and went inside.

Then we listened to a conference story about you need to write in your journal at least once a day. I don’t like writing in my journal because I don’t know how to spell things like Church. I did Chrh.

Today I went to Church and I did a primary program. I was Daniel in the song, Follow the Prophet, and I had fun. I practiced it for four years or four months actually because if it was four years I’d be four years old! I practiced my song the most now because I knew I would be singing it but I didn’t practice it that much before because I knew it would be a long time. I wore fabric on my head. I didn’t look much like a prophet cause one thing, I was a girl, and the other thing I had a dress on and the other thing I had a girl shirt on. After we were done we got a popcorn ball and then we went home and they (primary leaders) rang the doorbell and we got a donut.

Skinny Pumpkin

Today is my Grandpa’s Birthday. I wish I could give him a present but I can’t because it is his birthday and he is in Alaska. I miss him a lot. If he was here I would like to play games and carve pumpkins and do fun stuff for his birthday. We carve pumpkins every year for his birthday, that’s why I miss him.

Here is a picture of me with the pumpkin I picked. I liked it because it was cute and skinny like me! I got it at the corn maze that we went to for Scouts. We went on a hay ride to pick the pumpkins. Instead of my Mom getting a pumpkin, we passed a field full of squash so she asked the guy if she could have a squash instead. We haven’t even cut it open yet! I picked a little tiny baby pumpkin for my sister but she didn’t even like it or hold it. We went into the corn maze and I went with these two crazy boys that didn’t even know the way out. They said, “Let’s cut through,” so we did and we got out.

The Sneaky Family

Tonight I had really fun cause we snuck in the blow-up toys at the skating rink. We weren't really supposed to be going in there but we are a big family of trouble makers. 5 kids and one parent. The extra kids were our friends and they were so extra that we could eat them all up.

Our Mom let us buy a slushy. It was so tasty that we wanted cotton candy too but our Mom said, 'NO!" Poor us. We were so sad that we wanted to sneak the money for ourselves. But then our friend told her that we wanted to steal the money so then we went skating along. "Yay!"

Kate the Crazy Cooker

I'm Kate and I just made a new blog. I think it might be fun. I’m going to put funny pictures on it. I’m kind of nervous because I don’t know what kind of funny pictures I might do.

I’m going to post recipes because I like to cook. It’s very fun and I want to be a waitress when I grow up. My Mom doesn’t like helping me because I make such big messes. I try not to! Today I was cutting a piece of bread but instead of using a cutting board I cut it on my sister’s bib. My Mom was very mad about that. She shouldn’t have been that mad because there was just one little cut and you can’t even see it anymore.
