Scott's working

so im bored. I just cut Will's hair, so that means the water squirter is loose, so Will is chasing K around the deck with it. she is drenched! what else will we do today??? probably go get food.

What's new with Kirstine?
She is a climber. She's never been an anticlimber, but recently she's been getting everywhere. we have found her on the dining room table (and we have a high one) the kitchen countertops, the patio table, and yesterday i walked in and found her sitting in my bathroom sink with the water on. How did she get up there??? My only guess is she used the drawer knobs to climb up, because there's nothing else around for her to use.

She loves to come up to you when you're on the couch and say "move",kind of push you off, and climb up where you were and say "my seat" with the most adorable mischievous face.

Today I was standing in the living room with the remote trying to find the olympic basketball game on the guide, and she came up to me, handed me her sippy cup, and said "ahn appuh jew". i ignored her. she got in front of me and put a hand on each of my legs and pushed me backwards into the kitchen, and at every turning point she pushed one leg farther and turned me into the right direction all the way to the sink. she then turned me all the way around facing the sink and said "go". i think she wanted apple juice pretty badly.

My favorite is when i have to give her a stern voice in order to make her do something, such as come to me. I'll tell her maybe twice, "Kirstine, come here". Then i get my mean face on and say, "Kirstine Emma, come here NOW". She looks at me and gets the HUGEST smile on her face and just runs to me and jumps in my lap (or arms if i'm standing up). it is soooo precious. this seems to only work for me, though. scott says she cries when he gets stern with her.

WILL'S MEMORY:
1. I went to pick Will up from the church nursery yesterday (for bible study) and he showed me a boat and told me Mrs. Connie had that same boat. Mrs. Connie is his swim teacher that he had for 2 weeks back in March. And I don't think we've even mentioned her name since April. Crazy.
2. Last night he told us that they had the same trucks at church that they do at Busch Gardens. I'm like, What? Then he clarified and said, at Busch Gardens in the sand, next to the big big bouncy thing. Now I get it, and now I remember that those were the same big transporter trucks they had at Busch Gardens.

That's all that's going on here. We're in the process of finding a sunday school, and trying to find a time to get Will his new toy (we'll share pictures and stories later). We think we'll get it on Saturday, since that's when Uncle Bill and Aunt Janet are free to lend us the minivan to fit it in (since it won't fit in our cars).

2 WEEKS FROM NOW I'LL BE ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT TO COME HOME TO TAMPA!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! Other than seeing all my friends and family, what do i want to do there? Go to Sonny's and East of Chicago Pizza (if i can find someone to go there with me).
