My girl is smart. This morning, when we went into the bathroom, I gave Annika her toothbrush to play with while I did the morning routine. After a while she got tired of it and dropped it to the floor. Then, when I started brushing my teeth she looked at me, looked at the toothbrush on the floor and picked it up and started chewing on the bristles again. She put 2 and 2 together. :)

Annika likes looking at her books. She's even smart enough to know how to open the pages. She puts her little thumbs on the side of the book and pulls the pages apart. Granted, she's still not always on the right side of the book, like on the top or bottom instead of the side, but she's still a smart little cookie!

Yesterday, we were having lunch at Applebee's. After the waitress took our order, I ran out to the truck to get Annika a toy and her Cheerios. When I came back in, she was sucking on the lemon that was in Kris's lemonade. She sucked that thing dry and ate most of the pulp too!

Our closing is scheduled for the 13th of July! That's only 11 days to get packed up and moved out, while also painting and doing all laminate floor and ceramic tile work!

Yesterday, Kris and I bought most of the paint needed for the new house. We prepped most of it yesterday and Kris even started priming the walls and ceiling of the second story. We called it a day around 6:45 last night because Kris's shoulders were cramped up from spraying the ceilings and Annika was getting mighty bored hanging out with Mom with no toys.

Today, I'm staying home to pack and Auntie Krystle is coming over to watch Annika. I hope to have box packing almost done today. I'm also going to try and figure out what we need to take with us for the transition weeks when we're homeless. They still plan on having the new house done for our scheduled August 8th closing so we won't be homeless for too long.

Kris is already on his way to the new house. He has to stop for a couple errands on his way (Home Depot again!) but he should be there by 9:30 or so. Grandpa Dan, Uncle Mathias, Grandpa Dale and Grandma Lona are all coming to help us paint today. We are so lucky to have such wonderful, giving family. People - they are giving up a holiday weekend to help us paint our new house. Sound like a fun holiday weekend to you? Yeah, me either. We owe them all big time. BIG TIME. I think that's all that's new around here. Not much really. :)
