With all the job stuff I've been going through lately, it's been really hard to keep up with blogging what's been going on. As many of you may have noticed, my name conspicuously has been missing from a lot of posts recently. Some of this has just been that Alexandra seems to keep beating me to the punch on downloading pictures (see job stuff, above). So in an effort to combat that, here I am...
And we've sort of just come out from under a horrible week of aches pains, coughing, and various volumes of mucus thanks to a nasty flu that hit Alexandra the hardest but has struck me and Katrina too. Having survived all that, plus some job interviews on my part (yes I'm on some short lists, no I haven't heard anything), we got some much deserved fun with Kiki this weekend. Saturday was spent doing not much of anything, though Alexandra took big K out for a spin around town and then we both took her on a little walk that involved taking her little pink stroller around. This is a recent fascination for Katrina, she basically loves taking some of her play food or stuffed animals around in her little stroller. There is even the chicken(kitchen)/livingroom/choo-choo! stroller game that involves me or Alexandra pulling a small toy puppy while Katrina chases it with her stroller full of fake food. It culminates in her shouting choo-choo(??) and attacking the puppy with the stroller when we get to the living room. We have to say something along the lines of "Oh, no!".
Today we got to go to Zenta's birthday party, a wonderful little girl from Katrina's daycare. Her parents are very nice and had us and a few other people for some great food, lots of balloon animals, and a pinata. The best part of the afternoon involved a huge balloon fight among the adults, with Katrina sitting _very_ still to avoid the crazy grownups. And Alexandra discovered a hidden talent at zoological balloon engineering, giving us great hope she has a backup job in case this whole science thing doesn't work out.
