The Walker Family Circus: Birthday #3

Kate-isms

*As Kate sat and ate with her uncle, he tooted and blaming her said, "Kate, I can't believe you just tooted!"
Kate says, "Ha ha, I didn't even feel it." (she toots a LOT)

*(Kate and Derrel answer the door for Papa Johns delivery) Hi Papa John! Daddy, is his name Papa John?

*Isn't Grant cute? He's a tobbler!

*Kate: Mommy, did you know that Jesus is real? (pause. . . . .) And He comes to us when we don't do right things. He says, "stop doing the not right thing!"

*(at preschool, trying to open a pistachio). . . I can't open this because my muscles are SOOO big!

*If we eat a marble, it will hurt our very special hearts.

*(driving by a lake) Hey Lydia, there are white great sharks in that lake. I don't like sharks. They will eat me.

*(having a make believe conversation on a toy phone) Hi, this is Kate, do you want to come over for a "Barbie" Q?

*(after Lydia did something that really frustrated her). . . Lydia, your hurting my LIFE!

*(naming all the things she likes). . . I like sugar and hamburgers and cheese and french fries. . . . and sugar. . .

*(playing with Grant) He's making me laugh and I WANT MORE!

*(Whenever we pick Lydia up from school, we clean our hands with hand sanitizer) Kate says: Mom, can I have some hanitizer?

Grant-isms

*Derrel likes to play with the kids by saying "Feeeee Fi Fo Fummmmmm" really loudly and slowly crawling toward them. One day, Grant decided to imitate him and said, "Feeeeeeeeeee Fi Forrrrrrrrrr FUMP." It was pretty funny=)

*Grant's new word: Never! (with an exclamation point).
Mom: Grant eat your dinner, please. Grant: No! NEVER!
Mom: Grant, say your sorry. Grant: No! NEVER!!
Mom: Grant, would you like to go on a timeout? Grant: NO! Never!!
Mom: Grant, do you want a treat? Grant: No!! NEVER!!!. . . . . . (thinks about it for 10 seconds). . . oh, I'm kidding;)

Birthday #3

Sorry this post is so late but I have lots to post about coming soon and I had to do it in chronological order. First order of business:

MISS KATE'S Birthday!!!!

What a big girl we have now. Big girls with BIG EMOTIONS! Wow, I thought that Lydia was emotional but Kate is out to prove me wrong. We celebrated Kate's third birthday a few weeks ago. We let her choose her favorite place to eat. We found that she really didn't care too much (Lydia cared more than Kate). Her three choices were: Chick-fil-a, Chili's and Cheddars (Cracker Barrel came in somewhere at the end). Needless to say, she changed her mind every 10 seconds so Lydia chose for her: Chili's. It was a fun little family celebration. We sure love our sweet and spunky Kate! She has been having a blast at home with her little Grant brother. She loves to play with her princess dolls and a little castle. She is a princess at heart-she won't take off her play dresses for anything.

We love you, Princess Kate.
