Quick Update

We've been working so hard for the last week getting the new house ready to move in.  We work all day, than put kids to bed, and then return to the house at night to do more work.  It's nuts. 

We discovered a few items that needed attention at the house, so we've had lots of service people coming to the house to fix or improve things.  Andrew and I have finally finished painting the family room, and both kids bedrooms.  The rooms are all finally ready to move in furniture and we're getting really close.  We're on track to move in and actually start living there sometime mid-week.

I'll post pictures soon of the kids rooms.  Kayla's is pink and girly, and Matthew's is bright blue and orange.  I must admit I was a little nervous about bright blue and bright orange, but I was eager to give him a room that would be just the way he wnated it.  It actually turned out great!

Kayla also had a dance recital this weekend, and I have some pics / video to post for that.  Stay tuned.  We are so crazy busy right now, but I promise I will get to it as soon as I can.

Taking a cue from the dog...

We're about to go to a BBQ at my sister's house yesterday afternoon.  Kayla is dressed in her bathing suit and ready to go, but I tell her she needs to go into the back yard and clean up the baseball stuff she had left out on the grass.  Matthew and I look out the window a minute later, and we see her stripping out of her bathing suit and getting naked in the back yard.  Intrigued by this odd turn of events, I continue to watch, and my mouth drops open when I see her squat down and take a pee right there on the grass. 

Matthew and I bust out laughing, and I open the door to the backyard and ask Kayla why she is peeing on Grammy and Grandpa's grass (she has finished at this point).  She tells me that she just couldn't hold it.  Well, OK, I guess it's better to pee on the grass than have an accident, but the inside bathroom is only a few steps away.  Now, I know Kayla, and I know the real reason she did it...she just wanted to try it and see what it was like.  Apollo pees out there, so why shouldn't she? 

Kayla does random stuff like this all the time.  I tell you, she is so entertaining to have as a child.  Infuriating sometimes, but certainly entertaining.
