Stickers

So it has been awhile since I posted anything - work and life and such, but tonight Catherine did something so cute, I have to share.

After dinner, I was cleaning up the kitchen and doing dishes. Bryan said he was going to take Catherine upstairs to listen to records (this is becoming a ritual which has led Catherine to quote songs from Corey Hart and Van Halen...) As I was cleaning up I heard Catherine coming down the stairs calling my name. This is not a big deal, but I wanted her to stay upstairs so I could finish cleaning - I assumed Bryan had become to absorbed in his music to notice Catherine's departure. When she came into the kitchen, I heard her before I saw her and she was saying, "Look mommy I got stickers." When I looked up I saw my child in a pair of jeans and nothing else with US Postage stamps stuck all over her arms and belly! I was a perfect combination of mad and amused. I grabbed her to run up the stairs and fuss at Bryan. As I was going up the stairs I was calling out, "Bryan, are you not watching your daughter???" When we met Bryan at the top of the stairs, he started laughing so hard that I could not help but laugh. I sincerely wanted to take a picture however I did not want to waste any time taking off the stamps and trying to salvage as many as I could! Too bad I did not take a picture because it was certainly memorable.
