A Bit of This and That

I don't suppose you all could take me to Disney World? See, I went and found this book all by myself to read about it.

Let me just get situated...

I gotta read about the mouse.

September is here, and we are busy as usual. Kailey is 15 months today. (sigh) She went for her checkup today, and has gained a whopping ounce. You know, the difference in how much air blew on the scale this time. Her height and head are exactly the same as before. She has ground to a screeching halt with her growth. I'm not too worried about it though. Ellie currently is exactly 15 pounds heavier than Kailey is. You know, Ellie could still be in a rear facing car seat, if not for the fact that she would look weird when we pulled up to school :) My girls are tiny and tall. I have no idea where they got that trait. It most certainly was not their mother.
Kailey is walking all over and talking up a storm. She has learned to climb well, and climbed up the drawers on the counter the other day. She climbs up shelves in the closet. She navigates the stairs very well on her own. She is jabbering a lot. She says a few things like mama, dada, Ellie (ey-e), dog, and of course our favorites-princess (sis-sis) and mickey (ke-ke) The girl loves her mickey and her elmo.
We have started on our mini fence. It is our way of having a place for the dogs so that we can travel. They can just come in and out as they please. Except that we forgot the fact that we live on a solid slab of rock. So putting in 8 fence post ended up taking 2 days and involved jackhammering and pulling rocks out with our bare hands. It will be worth it when we are not spending hundreds to board the dogs, or worse, having to stay home.
And of course, we are working on our basement. Slowly but surely, all these projects are getting accomplished. By Christmas, we will hopefully have a great basement space to play and relax in. And then, I'm sure we'll find something else to occupy our time...

Kindergarten Woes

Kindergarten is hard.

Very very hard.

So hard, that I haven't been able to post pics of my baby's first day.

Because there were tears.

And a lot of them.

The kindergartener has had a very rough start.

As has her mom and dad.

Hopefully, this will improve. Hopefully we won't regret putting her in public school this year. Hopefully, this is the right decision.

Cause Kindergarten has been a nightmare so far...

It's amazing what you can accomplish when your big sister is out of town and unable to cater to your every desire :)
