I had hoped to post lots of Kassi's Easter pictures...but it appears that will not be happening tonight. On Tuesday night we got the dreaded "blue screen of death" on our netbook. Unfortunately this was the second time we have gotten it and this time it is not recoverable. I want to be mad at the computer because it is only a little over a year old, but it is hard to be mad when I think of how we used it. Due to it's convenient size it often got held sideways, on the couch cushions or in other locations where it got very hot, Kassi used it s much as we did to play games and watch movies and let's face it no computer is "toddler proof". So as we lay the wonderful little netbook to rest I begin adapting to the beautiful wide screen on the new laptop. While I love the wide screen and the DVD burner I very much so miss my card reader and little tiny computer. We probably should have just spent the little extra money on the one with the card reader built in, but no my cheap inner self says, "you have an external card reader at home, don't bother" so tonight my hopes of loading pictures for everyone to see are diminished when I realize my old card reader is just not good enough to read my 4GB card! So tonight I will just type. I promise I will get pictures loaded, I just may not deal with it tonight!
Kassi has gone through an incredible growth spurt the last month. There was one point where she grew a 1/2 inch in only nine days. The hard part is her body has gotten so long, as have her arms that her little stubby legs and feet are having a hard time keeping up. Due to the recent growth spurt I am having to do a closet clean out/update. At this time there is everything from a size 3T to a size 5, no that is not a typo a size 5. Now some of this is because her body and arms are much longer than clothes for a 3T while her short little legs and skinnier waist require the 3T pants, which we are still rolling up. I was going to post picture of her closet. It is incredible how many clothes this little girl has. The last count I did there were 39 pairs of pants in her closet, remember too that she has a full wardrobe at Grandma and Grandpas as well. We are so thankful to the McKinney family and their hand-me-downs and also thankful to the Shepard family for taking our hand-me-downs once Kassi is done with them. Even though she has been given a full wardrobe I still find myself drawn to buying the adorable little girl clothes we find everywhere. I hate to shop for myself, but I love to shop for Kassi. Little girls are so much fun.
We are planning on taking Kassi to the circus on Saturday. I am not going into this with very high expectations I figure at 2.5 if she sits through 30 minutes of it we will be lucky. She says she is excited to go one day and then the next she will say that she doesn't want to go so who knows if we will even make it in the doors. I did get us tickets near the doors just in case.
Wes passed two more of his ASE tests this winter and is down to one more Fire Officer class. I am so proud of him. As always things remain the same with me. My asthma has been very uncontrolled for the last several months, but now that I have finally gotten our insurance company to begin counting one of my more expensive prescriptions towards my deductible I am able to start back on my daily asthma meds and hopefully will have it back under control before spring really hits.
