Kate the Great is no longer 8! Her birthday we did celebrate!
She is still wonderful and fine.
Now she is nine!
I love Kate and her free-spirit ways. She doesn't wear shoes or socks unless she absolutely has to- like to school. She always has markers on her hands and she regularly cracks me up with some clever comment or another!
She asked for a marble run game for her birthday. We gave her two so she can build giant marble runs. It's been a really fun toy- I'd recommend it to anyone with kids old enough to not choke on the marbles.

At school, they are studying Living and Non-living. So for her Valentine box, she had to do something living. She has an excellent teacher. At first, she was going to do a cow (she makes really cute cows out of heart shapes), then it was going to be an alligator. But then she found out that a lot of kids were doing alligators so it became a gold fish. Perfect! She modeled it after her gold fish, George. It turned out really cute!
She designed her own cake. She did a fabulous job! I love the details.
Allen's family visited on Saturday. We went skiing and them celebrated at our house.
My folks visited on Sunday. They brought the kids. It was pretty wild. Kate didn't know that Tiffany, Janie and Jentry were coming. They snuck in while my kids were out back and hung a giant banner that Janie made. It said Happy Birthday and We love You and Kate is Great and a lot of great stuff like that. Then, they all hid and when Kate came in, jumped out and yelled "Surprise!".
It was a fun weekend.
Kate the great: Your birthday was a blast! Thanks for inviting us over. I had a great time skiing and hanging out at your house. You're skiing REALLY fast these days...and you still love the trees...
