In between projects, we've been enjoying our time together . . . particularly around the kitchen table. We all come together to eat. My dad has commented on how 'alive' our house is, beginning first thing every morning with breakfast. Meal times are pretty lively around here. Probably because BOTH of my kids won't miss a meal. When it's time to eat, the girls are ready and waiting.
When my mom volunteered to make spaghetti for us all tonight, I knew it would be a perfect meal for us. A perfect dinner to end our weekend and our long, long week. And -- I also knew Kate had yet to experience the lovely mess that is spaghetti -- so I thought we'd all get a kick out of seeing her go at it.
Who would I be if I did not have my camera right there to document such a milestone?

Straight to bath for Kate, after an initial hosing down in the sink. When we talked about 'hosing' Kate down before bath, Meg became very upset that we would not hose her down, too. She wanted me to literally take her outside and spray her with the green garden hose. Though it might be tempting to hose her at times when that angel of mine is not being so angelic, tonight it was just plain funny. Need-less-to-say, Meg did not get 'hosed down' after her meal.
The week started with Mirena Monday and ended with Spaghetti Sunday. It was a long week. A few good things happened, a few not so good things. But it's over.
And now it is officially here: Birthday Palooza 2009. Commencing Wednesday. Here we go!
