Real Simple!!!!
Yup, that's right, I'm on Real Simple's website!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!
CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT MY EXCITEMENT IS ALL ABOUT!
(Thank goodness I had Norman (Hannah's boyfriend) do some head shots this summer. Even though I will never live it down...you know, the closed set photo shoot on the family vacation complete with stylist (Hannah) and professional fashion photographer (Norm)...it's come in handy!)

more cate stuff
the other night at dinner we were talking about my trip to san diego (which is today - woo-hoo!) an cate asked why she doesn't get to go. I told her, it's because you cost too much money now. she looked at us and said, "Hey! I have money!" It was so so funny, but we tried not to laugh. We said, "You do?" "Yeah, in my purse!" If Southwest accepts funny money, then Cate is in business.
Cate gets to recite a scripture at church on Sunday. We were practicing last night. The start of it says (referring to Jesus) "And he took their little children" - so I say that line for her to repeat and she says, "But taking isn't nice!"

cate stuff
okay, gotta type this stuff before I forget what my little notes mean. just a couple funny things cate has said.
first, to set the stage. at school there are two cates/kates - cate with a c (our cate) and kate with a k. okay, now onto the story. the other night when cate was brushing her teeth, I was telling her how if she doesn't brush them she'll get holes in her teeth. nate said, just use the real terms, and then told her that she'll get tooth decay. she said/yelled, "no! I don't have tooth decay, I have tooth d-C." in totally seriousness.
cute pronunciations: amial (animal), matalee (natalee), micole (nicole)
I think I"ve written about this, but maybe not. cate gets anything/nothing, anybody/nobody, anything/nothing mixed up all the time. we pretty much know she means the opposite when she uses words like this. last night was a PERFECT example. nate asked her "who won?" she said "anybody." meaning NOBODY. it's so stinkin' cute and she does it all the time. I'll be sad when she figures it out.
the other morning cate climbed into bed with us. nate and I both rolled over to snuggle with her. she laid there a second, then pushed us away (nicely) and said, "You need to give me some space, guys."
she ALWAYS says, "mom?" "what cate?" "I love you and I like you." or, "I have a secret for you. I love you and I like you." it's really sweet and cute that she's picked up on the fact there's a difference. I'm glad she both likes and loves us! :)
the other day I was watching an interview on tv, so I was paying attention to that. cate was reading books to herself, but I hadn't realized she'd switched to reading to me. next thing I know she says, "Mom, I think the TV is distracting you. Maybe we should turn it off. You need to focus."
I love this girl!
