invasion of privacy

our little one has always been a mama's girl. but since we've moved out to wisconsin, she's slowly switching sides. no hurt feelings here.

when tyler comes home katelyn runs to him and showers him with hugs and kisses and follows him around the house. pretty cute. no lie.

on one of these daddy days, tyler had to take a little bathroom break. naturally, he closed the door. i guess katelyn didn't want to miss anything daddy was doing because i found her like this...

trying to take a little peek under the bathroom door!

dear sisters,

i miss you. i wish you were here. i could always count on you to do dumb things with me.

(i'm sorry two of you are missing in this picture).

love,

brooke

oops

living in a new place you expect to encounter some new people and some new places to visit. well, in our place we have also unexpectedly been greeted by these new little guys.

i happened to walk into the room both times and did a very good job of screaming for tyler's help.

after doing a little research i found out that these critters are called house centipedes. wikipedia claims they are considered beneficial because they eat household pests. Yeah right, they are the household pest! I guess that they can bite, but their bite is not harmful in anyway.

last night katelyn woke up at 4:00 a.m. crying. we helped her calm down, got her a drink of milk and put her back in her crib. as i was laying her back down, my finger brushed something bumpy underneath her back. i reached back under and felt it again, so i quickly grabbed it and threw it at the wall.
when i got back to bed i mentioned to tyler that i thought i had just thrown a bug from katelyn's crib, and i was pretty sure it was one of those centipede things. of course, after that i couldn't get to sleep. i kept worrying that katelyn must have been bitten.
in the morning i went to investigate to see if i could find that bug. i was looking in the area i threw it and looked down and saw one of katelyn's hair elastics that wasn't there last night. i picked it up and rubbed it between my fingers and realized that my "bug" was actually one of katelyn's hair elastics! Oops. at least she walked away without any bites from the hair elastic.
