Sorry, no pictures. We are heading to Brody, Karee and Baby Ainsleigh's for Thanksgiving so I am sure I will have plenty by the end of the weekend. We are going to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) on Friday and the kids are so excited they are beside themselves. We will have a blast!!!
Okay, for my bank story. Shawn picked up the kids at the end of the day and went to the "Cookie Bank" last week so he could do a deposit before heading home with them. Our business banker (Patty) works in this branch and the kids think she is pretty neat! Patty was on the phone so Shawn told the kids they had to wait. A little bit later he noticed she was off the phone and told Camrie she could go and say hi. Shawn turned back around as he was at the teller window.
The next thing he (and everyone else in the bank) heard was a really loud, "BOO!". Yes, our daughter with the ultimate decorum quietly crept up behind Patty and scared her. Camrie thought it was awesome and has been telling people the story all week.
Try explaining to a three year old why it is probably not a good idea to yell boo in a bank. The logic development is just not quite there. Everyone, of course, got a good laugh and thought she was so cute (which is always so helpful when trying to teach her some boundaries).
Now everyone wipe the smirks off of your face - I was the good kid - Camrie is my sister's payback not mine and I wonder somedays how I got "stuck"(okay, blessed) with her. All though she may very well be Shawn's payback (I have heard that his mom said many times while he was growing up - just wait until you have kids - the ultimate payback statement).
Happy Turkey day!

She was not the good kid, she was the older one who knew how to mentally torment the younger one until the younger was forced to retaliate by the only method known - physical, and then was promptly disciplined - hence recieving the "bad kid" name. Give it up dude - somehow you two are blessed with an energetic child. Can't wait until you're here - even though you probably won't read this until after I get to see you!!
me, Karee, dork
