Andrew's spring break was last week. We woke up Monday morning with a tree down in our yard. The power lines were hanging in the driveway, so we couldn't get out. My mom let us use her car until Tuesday when they finally fixed everything.
Since we did not have power, we spent Monday night at the Howard's house. Amber & I got home around 10pm from a meeting with Jen about flowers for Holly's wedding. Katherine and Andrew were sleeping downstairs. She had never slept in that room, so she didn't like it. The rest of us went upstairs to talk and didn't hear Katherine crying. Andrew brought her up about midnight, dropped her in the middle of the bed and went back downstairs to sleep. The other girls left to go to bed, and I stayed to sleep with Katherine. She had other plans and didn't go to sleep until 3:30am. At 6:30am, she sat straight up and said, "Mama, I need milk!" as if she'd had 12 hours of sleep. 3 hours of sleep didn't sit well with me, so I spent Wednesday sick on the couch.
Thursday, we took Katherine to the Birmingham Zoo. Mimi went with us, and we took her to lunch afterwards for her birthday. We've been spoiled by San Diego, so after an hour and a half we were finished. She did enjoy the "gee-raffs" and "os-tich."
Katherine really wanted to see the monkeys. These were the funniest.
For some reason, Katherine would not walk on the smooth sidewalk. She wanted to walk in the rocks.
It's becoming obvious that Katherine has a lot of my personality traits. We butt heads just a little. :-) Here we are having a discussion about why she needs to get back in the stroller. It ended with Andrew pinning her down while she screamed and tried to escape. I know ... mean parents.
Andrew did a lot of yard work on Friday & Saturday. Katherine was a big helper. She likes to carry the flowers to be planted and then carry the little trays back.
Everything must be neat and in order for Katherine.
