Katrina

This is Katrina's natural response to having her picture taken and a pretty normal activity to be involved with at home. She is taking on the phone (I think she is even talking to a boy). She got back from BYU-I, mid December and jumped right back into her job as Katrina-the deli girl at Macey's grocery store. She became especially experienced over the holidays at making cheese balls--a nice addition to her potato salad expertise. She will return to school in April. Katrina also jumped right back into social life here with her high school friends and spent alot of time playing with them.

Colonial Day

Tricia's class has been learning about colonial times. Today they are finishing up with rotations like butter-making and candle making and then having a feast. Tricia has been so excited and planning to bring a chocolate pie as her contribution (not very authentic but tastey). I had planned to go and help her because her aide couldn't be accessable all day but Katrina said she was willing to do it. We gave Tricia her choice and she choose Katrina. Tricia woke her up yesterday to help her make pies and as we looked for pilgrim clothes for Tricia she dug out things for Katrina to wear too. They looked so cute and happy when I dropped them off at the school. This really frees up my day, hum, what should I do?

quote of the day

I was trying to convince Katrina to clean up her room this morning. She whined and fussed then sat down on the floor and started sorting the clean from the dirty clothes. Then under her breath she mumbled,"Why can't I have mice that would help me?" Too bad we can't all be Disney princesses, Sorry Katrina.
