Karisse insisted that I clip clothespin all over her hair/clothes after she got over the initial shock of "these things aren't going to pinch me." She's such a chicken...but awfully cute!
The Pool Princess...
Potty training...God's way of testing parents' patience and knowledge of all bathroom abilities and functions... Karisse spent a lot of time on the camper potty reading books! Now, if she'd just poop on the potty without WWIII occurring!!!
Karisse LOVED camping in the new camper. She slept on the top bunk using a gate thingy that Grandpa made so she couldn't fall off. Strangley, there are no pictures of this contraption or her in the bunk bed...we'll work on that later.
At first, she was stoked about being the big girl on the top bunk (we didn't want to have a transition from the bottom to the top when Callie arrives, so it was decided that Karisse's bed would be on the top to begin with.) Then, when it came time for bed, she decided that the top was NOT for her. She wanted to sleep in Callie bed on the bottom. After the initial screaming, she settled in and claimed the high space as her own. Mommy's favorite thing was that every morning she'd say, "Mommy?....Mommy?...." until Mommy or Daddy would take the trek to the back of the camper and open her "door" (a curtain partitioning her bedroom from the kitchen.) She'd say, quite emphatically, "Get me OUT!" Funny girl...
In Other News...
Karisse loves water, especially "The Oasis" in the backyard. This is a $20 pool from Big Lots that Daddy built a $90 deck for and treats with real pool chemicals, net and whole big shebang. (Thanks Granny for the $20 favor!) Mommy hasn't been up to the trip to "The Oasis" lately since Callie will be arriving in 9 days, so Karisse & Daddy have spent a LOT of time in the pool together lately.Maybe too much?...

Daddy thought it was a cute idea to put Karisse wiffle balls in her swimsuit for boobies and a booty. Karisse thought she was "the stuff!".JPG)
