The Little Monkey
This afternoon, we decided to take advantage of the "cooler" temps and go for a walk. Of course, Anna Claire insisted on taking her baby stroller. Today, she wore her sunglasses and decided that her Disney Princess dolls needed to go for a stroll (I think some Little People made it in as well). 
Recently, Anna Claire has started to "race". She likes for you to stand next to her, say, "On your mark! Get set! Go", and she takes off running. Clearly she did not inherit the desire to run from her mama! *grin* Today, Kerstin was the one who raced.
We walked over to the church, and just look at AC being a good PK...waiting for the church doors to open! :)
Anna Claire's newest trick will make any mama's heart skip a beat! She has discovered how to "swing" on the bars that lead up to the entrance of the church. I'm pretty sure she is part monkey.

Let's Climb a Tree, Clean a Nursery, and Rock
While working over at the new house, Brad decided to show Anna Claire how to climb the huge live oak in our backyard. Of course, there's a ladder, and he helped her climb to the top of the ladder which was a big deal to her; Brad, on the other hand, kept climbing.
Yesterday, I was in the church nursery for a little while, and I caught two funny pictures. The first one shows Anna Claire and her friend, Brennan, enjoying their favorite activity in the nursery...cleaning! They each ask for a baby wipe and go to town, cleaning all the toys in the nursery. It's rather hilarious and entertains them for no less that 30 minutes.
When it was time to pick up the toys, I glanced around and couldn't find Anna Claire, until I heard her said, "Hi Mommy!" She had climbed in one of the toy tubs and was just chillin'.
And no Sunday is complete without a little dinner at Cracker Barrel and some time to rock on their front porch.
PS - We're are currently living in both houses....lovely. Most of our things are already at the new house, but we are sleeping at the old house while we get the last few things together to move. Brad and I are sleeping on air mattresses in the living room, and this makes me laugh! Here's a picture of our sleeping arrangements for a couple of days. I'm not sure why I feel the need to post this, but maybe I want you to see the craziness that is our life right now (notice the lamp and phone on a chair, the curtains tied up so that I could clean the floor, etc.). Just keepin' it real.

English Teacher Moment...
While AC, Elizabeth, and I were in Pampa, we (I actually think it was Elizabeth) spotted a sign on a store that caught our eye because of the random use of quotation marks. We took a picture of it and submitted it to a website dedicated to finding unnecessary quotation marks. Today, I received an e-mail from the website letting me know our picture had been posted! Check it out. (Ours is the 3rd picture down titlted "who? what?" under her September 13th entry)

I'm a Pepper
As mentioned in an earlier post, AC has a new found love of opening the refrigerator and bringing me a coke. This morning, she came out of the kitchen with a Diet Dr. Pepper, and I said, "Anna Claire, you need to put that back in the refrigerator." To which she quickly replied, "Mommy, puppies want some coke", and off she went to the dogs' room. When I did finally open a drink, she wanted a sip, of course.

Nonvascular
Tonight I was sending an e-mail to a friend in which I included the complete web address for our blog. During spell check, the blog address was highlighted. The suggested word replacement given....nonvascular. Clearly when I see http://annaclaire2007.blogspot.com, I immediately think, "Oh, I meant to type nonvascular....silly me." And I will stop here before climbing up on my English teacher soap box regarding spell check.
Happy Fall Y'all!
Although it may not "feel" like Fall outside here in Baton Rouge, I'm trying to get in the "Fall spirit" because this is one of our favorite times of the year! I'm hoping that making the blog look for more "Fall-like" might help get me in the spirit of this great season!
