ZK33: July 2005

I never posted this picture...I love it. This was the day Kelsie was trying to put chocloate crunch balls down my shirt and Zach trew one from the other side of the train and it bounced out of my shirt.

After I put Kelsie on the plane, I had to wait until they took off. I was trying to get her attention but she didn't see me. Her seat was under the S and T You can actually see her face as she leaned forward . Yep, that is her under the S.

Kelsies tie-dye outfit that she made. I think she likes it.

I put Kelsie aka Skeeter on her plane this morning. I'm going to miss all of her abuse. I'll get to see her at Christmas though. I'm going to have to plan some tricks to play on her. I think she wants to force me to sleep in a baby crib....not going to happen. Ok, I have to go now. More later.

Swimming in the Bay in the dark....a great way to end the last day.

Katie sitting on Kelsie.

Checking out Katies homemade book marker for Harry Potter.

Katie "working" at the Rec Center....uh huh.

Checking out how the deaf and blind use special alarm clocks to wake up.

loving those scooters.

She was trying to hide from me but I snuck around the back...hehehehhee.

At the children's museum again....and loving it

Face painted.

let the game begin.

Fishing for tickets.

Katie and Kelsie playing Nok Hockey at the Rec Center Carnival.

What are they doing back there? Beyond the grape vines and pass the chairs....its the girlies

Making a mess....but its not on their clothes yet.

Doing a little tie dye.

Today was fun. We finished the tea set...its lovely. We will take a picture for you. We went to JFK airport and picked up Nancy and Cliff. We made tie dye t-shirts with Katie and we also did shorts and socks. I took pictures of the process and will post the results after we wash the shirts in about 4 hours. We also went for a swim in the bay. Kelsie and I enjoyed the water until those stinkin' green flies started to bite us so we went inside. She's in the shower right now. We are going to get cleaned up, go to Taco Bell to eat at her request and then we are going to go to the Rockville Centre carnival at the Rec Center. Katie has to work there tonight. I think if its not to late we will go to the mall and do that glitter stuff that she wanted to do.

The first night away was hard...but last night we didn't have a single tear and she was in very good spirits. It was getting kind of iffy when we couldn't get ahold of Mom or Dad....they were mowing the lawn, which is exactly what I told her they were probably doing. We just hit re-dial a million times. We watched "Sleep Over" which we both enjoyed...but after it was over, it was time to hit the bed.

Earlier in the day, we went to the Children's museum with Katie and I know we all had a lot of fun. There is so much to do. We were there for 4 hours and could have stayed longer if it wasn't closing. After we dropped Katie off we went to Jillians for a little game playing and won 8,000 tickets. That was a lot of prizes too....then we ate supper there before heading to Wal-Mart to get a dye kit to make t-shirts on wens. Then we headed home. I woke Kelsie up at 9 but she was still tired so I let her go back to sleep. I think she could have coped with staying until Monday but a week is a long time. It was just to much change too fast. She has been very happy though, when I keep her busy and she doesn't have time to think about what she is missing.
