Kate date

Kate had the afternoon off from school. She and I went to lunch at McDonalds, her choice. While I stood in line, she found a table. I brought the food over, and we ate and talked about our mornings. She said how she loved the burgers there. Just ketchup.

We went to Home Depot for a light bulb. She kept bringing over different Halloween decoration items. No, Kate, we will go to Sam Bridge, like always. She brought out a smiling scarecrow. "This one has curly hair!"

At home, we did her birthday party Thank your. She made little pictures of her and her friend on each card.
Labeled them "me" and "Ava" on each picture. Very cute.

We played Go Fish. Hadn't done that for a while.

We went to the Rye Y for Jacks swimming class. Kate was supposed to have one too, but she fractured her finger and needs to take some time off from Sports. We played with blocks, she made little houses, and put the pet shop toys she brought in them. We played air hockey, using our opposite hands. We played in the new ExerZone area, basically a workout area for kids, but fun. She jumped and laughed and smiled.

At home before bed, we read Kelsey Green together. Sometimes she brings lots of emotion to the dialogue and I have to ask her not to yell in my ear. But it's kind of funny, too.

I tell her I had a nice afternoon with her and help her into her new loft bed. She says, can you touch the ceiling from the bottom step? I say yes, and show her. "Oooh" she says.
