Katie's week

OK - This is Katie or Kate.

And I am going to tell you about how things are going.

On Monday, I got to go to work all by myself with Dad.  We went up to the new house and measured perimeter because even Dad did not know the perimeter yet.  Dad helped me measure the first room so I could get the hang of it.  Then Dad went down stairs to do some other work and I was left alone.  I measured all the upstairs and the whole downstairs, but not the basement.  Then I had to estimate by rounding to the nearest foot.  It was a lot of work.

On Tuesday, that was a big day!
Well, we walked up to check the cows and we saw one that one was having a baby.  We watched it for a while and getting more worried all the time because the mom was not making any progress.  Then Farmer Scott came and he had to pull the calf.  Then Hunter and I ran down to the ranch to get some towels to dry off the calf.  Well, Farmer Scott took the mom cow to the corral and got ready to stitch her back together.  OK - don't get freaked out yet!  The worst part would be in an hour.

Hunter and I dried off the calf as quickly as we could while mom and Ben went to town to get some supplies.  While Hunter and I were drying off the calf we talked and watched a little calf that had been born yesterday squeeze through the fence.  A little later, Farmer Scott's son went searching for it.  It had not gone far.  Somehow, I got the calf to suck on my thumb!  Grandma, it reminds me of the story you told me about the cow and the mitten.

When it was time, I had to get the big pills out of this bag.  It was hard because the bag was long and skinny.  It was a long glove that you  use when you reach into the cow.  GROSS!  I was shaking because I was not sure I could get them out fast enough and Farmer Scott was telling me to go quickly and that made me more nervous.

When it was finally done, I was relieved.  Whew!  I could not watch at all!  But I still want to be a vet.

On Wednesday, Hunter had been up all night throwing up so we stayed home instead of going to the ranch.  Horse lessons were cancelled, but I still had dance.

On Thursday, the farrier came and brought his daughter.  She is nine too.  I REALLY like her!  We did some ice dying, if you know what that is.  I showed her the whole ranch and we talked and had fun.

Today, Hunter is still sick but is starting to feel a little better.  We have singing lessons today and you know in Lady and the Tramp, we are singing We are Siamese from that movie.

Tomorrow we are going to the Young Living Farm for a fun Easter egg hunt and some time with our friends.
ALERT!  ALERT!  NOT FOR LITTLE KIDS!
Saturday night I am going to help mom hide the eggs for Easter because now I am one of the keepers of the magic.  I am excited to see their faces when they are finding all the eggs.  We are hiding the eggs inside and outside!  Mom said we have 100 of them!

Happy Easter, everyone!
