Old Baker Farm
Saturday we went to the Old Baker Farm, about 30 minutes southeast of us. It was awesome. I am such a city girl, so it was all so new to me. This is the kind of stuff you see on tv and movies, and people who live out in the middle of nowhere get to do, and now that's me! I have always been so jealous of people that got to do this kind of stuff. I am sooo happy that I live in an area where this is possible! Anyways, we went around 1:00 on saturday and stayed about 5 hours. There are tons of posts below this one with more pictures. This first one is from the cotton bounce. It was just a big trailer full of cotton. SO COOL! A little dirty, well maybe a lot dirty, but it was still really fun. Kirstine got in and out in less than 5 seconds. So i went in with her and she sat on my lap for about 10 minutes. She liked it if I held her and bounced her, but it took forever for her to venture off on her own. But she did, and she liked it. 
Tractor Time
In the Fields
Cotton Fields
And in the corn maze. This was a lot of fun. It took us about an hour to finish. Will did not want to go in at all at the beginning, but after about 10 minutes he loved it and ran in front the whole way. He would yell, "DEAD END" and then run back to us so we could find another way. Kirstine enjoyed it very much, especially when she realized she could actually walk inside the corn rows where she wasn't supposed to go. She had fun in there. But she was very slow most of the time. She liked to just lolligag (sp?) and drink her sippy cup.

No Excuses...
I've just not been in the mood to blog lately. Couldn't tell you why. I'm still not but oh well, here I am.
What's going on lately?
Kirstine went peepee on the potty 4 times on Monday. Not much since then. We just take her when she tells us. She has gone Uga on the potty a few times, i think 2 of which were because she actually came up to us and told us Uga. She told me today once at Pizza Hut, but nothing. And then again at the doctor, but i thought she had already gone. I was in the middle of filling out my new patient forms and so I was going to wait to change her, then all of a sudden I saw the face. But by the time I got her to the potty it was too late.
I had an appointment today for a rash I have had for about 3 weeks, but it took a new form yesterday...welt like red blotches all over my face. and they itch horribly. The doctor had no clue, gave me a cortizone shot in my rear (am I allowed to talk about stuff like that on here? Sorry, Scott), and gave me a prescription for some cream and a pill for the itch. It's only been about 8 hours, but so far nothing's changed. We'll see.
Kirstine had her 18 month appt on Thursday (at 20 months of age we're a little late). She's obviously skinny, but still on the charts so we're not too worried. at 20 months she is 20 lbs 10 ounces. What a fatty. She got 4 shots and Will got his flu shot.
Scott has been reading Shel Silverstein to Will and he LOVES it! I sat with them the other night just to listen. It is so freaking cute. Will just cracks up hysterically at most of the poems. There's one about the skinniest guy in the world, who takes a bath and goes down the plug. Today we were on the way to the doctor and Will asked me if Kirstine was sick. No, I say, why? "Well why do you give her chocolate medicine then?" (that is what we call her chocolate pediasure, so he won't be jealous. he really really wanted some the first time he saw them). So I explain to him that she doesn't take that because she's sick, it's because she's skinny, and doesn't eat, and is unhealthy. So we give her that to gain some weight... Will's response: "Is she going to go down the plug?"
In other news: Kirstine is still obsessed with Lella (Cinderella) but now also loves Tinkadoo (Tinkerbell). I can't wait til the new movie comes out at the end of the month. She's going to go crazy (at least I hope she does).
I'm staying busy with MOPS, a precepts bible study (of Genesis), choir, mops playdates, and starting Tuesday I will work a few shifts at church during small group time (tuesday mornings).
We still haven't found a small group of our own, but we are close.
Exciting news: Danny Wuerffel is coming to speak at a church in birmingham sunday morning, so scott and I are going. And this year we get to go to the Behold the Lamb (Andrew Peterson's christmas concert. if you haven't heard of it - GO BUY IT THIS YEAR!!!! Last year it came to tour in tampa and we got to go. the best concert I've ever been to) concert in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium. (sorry if i butchered the spelling of that). That is his big concert that he does every year with tons of other christian artists there as well. It's going to be so crazy awesome and I don't believe we get to go!!!
I guess that's all for now. Maybe since I did this today I'll be in the mood tomorrow for some pictures. We'll see...

potty training already?
am i crazy? i'm not seriously considering it, but Kirstine is. Lately she has been coming to me and telling me "Uga" and then doing the sign for "change". And yesterday she walked up to me and said, "I went peepee". it was so cute. i didn't know she knew how to say that.
Other cute things: we went to the Homewood High School football game last night because Big Will is in the band. on the way there K (as always) kept saying, "Wobby, Wobby" (referring to cousin Rob). This is nothing new. but then she started saying, "I want Wobby." Again, didn't know she knew how to say that. she's talking in sentences now. very short ones, but still they count!!!
And she has a cinderella baby doll that gran got her when we went to disney. she loves it, and now calls it "Lella". it is so cute how she sticks her tongue all the way out of her mouth to make the L's. I think it's because she watches us try to teach Will. he is really bad at L's. His version of Lella is Welwa. He is such a great talker, but L's are the one thing he really doesn't get.
Will has a very annoying new habit. He has this weird fake laugh that he does. the first few times it was funny because it was so weird and random. now he does it like every 5 minutes. it's driving us crazy!!! i guess that's all for now.

Will's First Pets
Lately we have seen a random roly poly here or there in the yard so we have pointed them out to the kids and let them hold them. Tuesday morning Will ran inside to get me to tell me he found a roly poly. I asked him if he picked it up, and he said no, because he peed on it (is that how you spell that word???). it seems as though he was outside and decided to go pee in the corner of the yard and while he was doing so he noticed a roly poly on the ground. anyways, i decided to look around to see if i could find another one. we played with a few, and then came inside, and the tv show "sid the science kid" was on (we've never ever seen this show before, but it's pretty cute!) and sid busts out with a container of roly polys for show and tell! how funny is that?! so we decide yesterday to keep some. we have experimented with food - they don't like crackers or cheese, or will's ham and cheese sandwich that he so kindly fed to them. i read on wikipedia that they feed on decaying wood and that they like moisture. so now we have some leaves and grass, some branches, and those things that come from pine trees that i can't describe (not the pine needles). they actually seem to like those the best. and we sprayed some mist in there for them. Will LOVES them and doesn't let them out of his sight. except for when he wants to leave them outside so they can breathe (inside they must keep their lid on). he's pretty adorable with them. he calls them "my pets". he keeps saying he needs to go check on "my pets". he wanted to sleep with them last night, so i let him put them on the night stand next to the bed. they are all still alive so far. we have 8 of them. i'm sure they will "die" while we're in tampa and scott will have to throw them out, so i'll prepare will for this before we leave. (really what will happen is scott will release them as soon as we leave).

cute stuff
i had lots of cute things to say last night, but i forgot all of them already. we went over to uncle bill and aunt janet's for dessert last night. as soon as we started to pull out of the driveway will said in a very tearful voice, "i miss them already. why don't you let me have them all the time?" (referring to big will and rob).
not much else going on. doing laundry and making lists for our trip home in 2 days!!! can't wait!
