We're slowly nearing the end! The finishing touches are being done little by little. We've put in most of the trim and will be painting very soon, probably after Zach gets home from summer camp! Yay! We're kind of lucky, because of an unfortunate event, we now have someone to help professionally paint our house. It started when Zach, Sam (Zach's little brother) and I were putting in some windows at our house when one of our future neighbors came running across the field asking for our help. Zach said the first thing to cross his mind was, "Please don't ask me if I know CPR or first aid!" We definatly didn't want anymore bad things to happen, but she didn't. She just asked if we knew how to turn off the main water line to her house because her basement was flooding and they need help, so after a long night, we helped them out by bailing water out of their basement and vaccuuming the excess, and in turn got to know our future neighbors and made new friends. But it turns our that Jason, the man of the house, does painting on the side and is very good at it and thinks he owes us some hours. We never expected it but we do appreciate that he would be so nice to help us out in return.
We've ordered our cabinets and flooring and it will just be a matter of time, I still don't plan on moving in until august-ish but we'll see! We're going to need major help to put in tile, so if anyone knows how and would like to VOLUNTEER their time to show us how, we would appreciate it sooooo much! Anyway, Hope to see you all soon and hope everyone is doing well!
My Favorite Things Kestyn Said...
1. If someone were to offer him a cigarette, he would reply, and I quote: "What's your understanding of anaphylactic shock!" No joke, he came up to me and told me that! (He learned it from The Saftey Kids)
2. One day while eating at KFC I told him to hurry or I'd leave him there and he responded: "No, don't leave me here or I'll become... One of them!"
3. After coming home from preschool, I asked him like I always do what he'd learned that day and he said: "Ahhh, just a bunch of crap!"
4. We were just getting out of the car and I guess Kestyn was talking to Zach but he wasn't paying attention and left for the house and as I was unbuckling Kes, he said with a hint of irritation, "And I'm talking to myself." (Keep in mind he's 4 going on 18!)
5. It was time for bed and Zach followed Kestyn to what he thought was going to be his bed but instead Kes went to the bathroom of which he then turned around, looked at Zach, and said, "I'm going to be here a while..." So Zach came back into the living room grinning from ear to ear and said he was instructed to wait.
6. So it's Zach's family reunion in Fishlake and I was talking to Kestyn about letting him go there and camp with them since I couldn't go because I had to work. He started to tear up and said "I want you to be fired from your work so you can go with me." Talk about heart breaking! Boy I love this kid!
7. I don't have one particular phrase he's used but lately he's been using the word plethora a lot and in the right context!!! Just wait until you hear a 4 year old say plethora, almost as funny as hearing him say trapezoid at 2 years of age!
8. Okay, so we had satellite radio for a while and one night Kes and I were driving home listening to xm kids when a song about pirates came on. Kestyn started asking questions about them and asked me what pirates did. I told him that they would attack other ships and pilfur their stuff, and then he asked me what pirates do now, and I told him that there really wasn't pirates per se. Not in the same sense really.....I mostly said it to avoid a long drawn out conversation, but anyway, he gave me a funny look and said, "What did they all do, quit?"
