Kate found a new friend yesterday. A blue rubber elephant.
She dragged him around by his trunk, bounced on his back, and cried crocodile tears when we had to leave the elephant's house.

A little out of it after waking up from a nap:


A little mad that all the applesauce is gone.

Kate Can't Drive 55

Had to hang out with cousin Clara:

and then do some intense jig saw puzzles:

Kate Mourns the Crushing Aggie Defeat

The evening started off well, with cold beer and brats (but don't worry, Kate has milk in her sippy):



Playing the party favorite game of stack the cups:





Reading some good literature:





Snuggling on the couch with dad:




Even the old favorite of empty-out-the-kitchen-drawers-and-lie-on-the-floor-with-the-measuring-cups:



But all of that fun was instantly forgotten when the Ags lost the game by one measley point.

A gift from Nonni, she takes them everywhere and always makes sure they are lined up properly so that they can see everything.




They even made the trip to Hawaii:

Quite a non lady-like pose for a nun:
