Blanket Thief

Today we've got a Kate story that's sure to entertain! As most of you know, our little lady attends Tiny Town day care while Shelly and I work. Tiny Town actually has webcams in each and every classroom so parents can check up on their little ones at any time to see how they're doing. Peeking in to see what she's up to has become kind of a ritual for me right before I enjoy lunch and the other day she did something that made me laugh out loud in my office.

Kate had just finished up her lunch and was one of the first of her classmates to get cleaned up and put down on her little bed for their naps. Now that Kate's graduated to the 1-year old room, they have these little contoured mattress that lay on the ground but are only about 5 inches above the floor. Anyway, her teacher (Ms. Mary) had just laid her down and I noticed Kate kept popping her head up and watching her while she checked on another child she had just laid down before. Anyway, Ms. Mary finished up and headed over to the table to clean up the next child and get him/her ready for their nap. Right when Mary got to the table Kate popped up, went over to another kids bed (which was no more than 5 feet away), and without breaking a stride nabbed their blanket and proceeded to yet another bed, laid down and snuggled up in the three different blankets (only one of which was hers)!

I was laughing so hard, because anyone that knows Kate, knows how much of a creature comfort she is! To add to the hilarity, a few moments later Mary went to put the next child down and it just so happened to be in the bed that Kate had stolen the blanket from! I could see Mary looking around like, "what's going on here?" Sure enough, she looked over and Kate was busted! Back to her little bed, with only *her* blanket!

That's our little Girl!

Cottage Fun

A little more than a week ago Shelly, Kate and I went up to a cottage my parents had rented for the week. Everyone was there except Greg (who was stuck working) and we an absolute blast. We stayed in a brand newly-renovated A-Frame cottage, which was absolutely gorgeous.

While Shelly, Kate and I were only there for a few days, we made the most of it with lots of fun in the sun including laying out on water floats, boating and even some knee-boarding. The weather was wonderful and we really enjoyed our relaxing time away.
