Peek-A-Boo

Just a quick update for the week. On Saturday, K and I rode with Nana Janice and Papa Keith to VA. K did pretty well considering it was a 4 hour trip. A few screams and squeals every now and then, but I was able to preoccupy her with toys and food (now I know how snacking habits begin). We hung out at Uncle Ernie and Aunt Sarah's pool all day and mingled with family. Of course there was my favorite food....BARBECUE! K got to spend some quality time with Papa Keith in the pool. She loves to splish and splash in the water and float around in her personal floaty seat. We had a lot of fun...and I was so happy when she finally fell asleep in the car on the way home...so happy I fell asleep too!





K sometimes sleeps with her mouth open, so if you look closely, you can see her two bottom teeth. Silly Nilly!

K had another coughing episode. It has lasted for 5 days now and is probably one of the most frustrating things she gets. I figure in the past year, she has had this wet, rattling cough about 5 or 6 times. Each time we wait until it gets really bad, take her to the doctor, only to find out they won't do anything or give her anything to help break up the congestion. WHY CAN"T THEY JUST GIVE HER SOMETHING?!?!? So now I have resorted to at home remedies.
Since school will be starting back soon, I decided to drive by the brand new Smith to see what it looks like. It is humungous!!! I just wanted to break in and check it out. I am so excited that I get to unpack my belongings one last time (I have moved my classroom 5 times now). I took some pictures of the school, but its just so BIG it won't fit in the camera frame. I hope we get an email or phone call saying we can get in early...like next week. Please o please!
I have finally started exercising this week....3 days so far. I was so disappointed in my .6 lb. weight gain last week that it has motivated me to JUST DO IT! Waking up at 5 am is unbearable, but I just pull myself up by the boot straps and fling my body out the front door. Some people say they feel more active if they work out in the mornings...not sure I can say the same.
K and I have been on a few walks after work in the new Radio Flyer. K loves it! Some of the kids around the neighborhood have wanted to hop in and go for a ride. I think we'll be packing it up for a trip to the pool this weekend! Other than that, we have been pretty low key.
So I just took a quick break and checked my Old Navy weekly coupon deal and finally...yes finally...I won a coupon!!! $50 off a $100 purchase...and you can send it to a friend on Facebook (which happens to be Jon), so now we have 2 of them! $200 worth of clothes for only $100...now that's a pretty good deal! You really have to watch the site because the coupons go very quickly.
Tomorrow K will be getting her 12 month shots. Poor baby! I'll just have to smother her with lots of love, hugs, and kisses. Stat update coming soon! We love to love this little string bean!
Here is a video of K's new favorite game. Yes I'm driving...no I'm not watching the footage as I'm taking it...don't get any wrong ideas guys!
