We are finally get some great rain. I went out jogging/walking this morning and it was fantastic! I miss Seattle. I wish I could pack up us and the Hansen's and just move there. I'd have a whole lot more fun with this jogging stuff there than here. Caitibug is gearing up for her gymnastic performance in a week. We have one last week of practice and then next week is the show. I'm so excited for her. We're going to do summer gymnastics as well along with swimming lessons. I also would love to fit in some tennis lessons near the end - but am I just being a crazy mom??? maybe... we all know I'm crazy. We went a few weeks ago to the zoo. First with her friend and then another day with her daddy. That was THE BEST day. Perfect weather and I think daddy and Caitibug had the best time ever. She's really become quite the daddy's girl these days. We also went to the Splash Pad the other day. That wasn't bad either. Clear skies and a little heat which was p...

On Monday Caitibug and I went to the zoo with the neighbors. What a fun time. Those two girls are just too cute. I can hardly believe that she is almost five years old. How did that happen. I remember when Jami was five. Boy was she cute! What happened...just kidding, Jami!! You are still the KatVon Cutest! Right? Well ... I am not sure where we are heading but at least we are together.

Caitibug was super thrilled to see her Grandma this morning. And lucky bug, she'll get to see her again tonight. Sometimes conferences are a good thing! Well, the power went off yesterday afternoon. I reset the two clocks in the kitchen and then later that night I asked Paul what time it was to reset the bedroom clock. The time he gave me came from one of the clocks in the living room that had not been reset yet. Add on top of that the fact that I didn't turn on the alarm button - oopsey - that was not a good thing. So I get up - the clock says ten to six. I think hooray. I have ten minutes before my ride to the gym is here. I get dressed and zip downstairs to a clock in the kitchen that says I'm thirty minutes late. So I had to go clean off a snow covered car at 6:30am to go to the gym to work out alone. What a sorry morning for sure. Well... things to do today so I had better go. TA

Caitibug got an early birthday present from Grandma Carol today. Jenn had given her a nice little train table, and Grandma bought her a brand new fun train set. What a great grandma! Caitibug has been playing with it all day long. In fact the first things she said this morning was, "It's morning time mommy, we need to go get my train!". SO -- it's all about the trainset today, tomorrow, the next day... what a spoiled girl. She also got a present for her friend, Josh, yesterday. Of course she got him a great Playmobile toy, and can you guess?? Pirates. That was a surprise, right? On a separate note, Jesse the Fly followed us everywhere yesterday. To Grandma's, to Target, even in our car on the way home. That darn Jesse the Fly...

So Paul has gone off to the basement with his grumpy little self, Caitlin is watching Mickey Mouse and I am blogging which seemed to irritate him. I think the real irritation was that I had a Starbuck's and he didn't. Well, I had the two dollars saved, and I went to the gym today so I treated myself. Na, na, na, na, naaaa.... as my daughter would say. Yesterday Caitibug continued with her hide and go seek of items, this time it was the glasses. We tore the house apart to find them. I even took her to the car and told her that I was going to take her to the hospital and have her glasses surgically attached to her head if she didn't show me where they were... not the best parenting I've done but I was getting crazy at this point. Finally she took me into her play room and said they were in there, but since daddy cleaned it up she didn't know where they were. I finally found them hidden in the bumper pad. And then of course I found my missing keys as well. They had b...

So this morning after my great workout I left my expensive stainless nonBPA water bottle at the gym. So I sprint through the shower, dress myself and Caitibug and run back to the gym. My daughter proceeds to have a great conversation with one of my favorite guys, Aaron, about Jesse the fly. For those of you who do not know, two years ago Caitibug started talking to the fly on our wall. I came to find out that his name was Jesse. Now it is amazing that Jesse goes everywhere with us. Just about anywhere we go, we end up seeing Jesse there. So Jesse followed us to the gym, and Caitibug had to show him how to exercise. What a great trainer she may be one day.
