Just another Sunday

I realized that I haven't posted anything lately so I thought before we started getting ready for church I'd do a little update of what we have been up to.... and it's NOTHING! We haven't really done anything exciting lately. I've tried several times to upload a video of Terina doing somersaults onto our page but it won't work. But let's see.... I've been trying to structure Terina's time at home a little better to cut down on her being bored and messing up the house so earlier this month we went outside and finger painted! She had so much fun and our neighbors next door stood by just watching... and waiting I guess for me to give them some paper. So we spent one afternoon fingerpainting with Hepi outside. Now we have some art work hanging up on our house. I just need to get some more paper for Terina to paint on and then we'll be back outside finger painting.

After we do some kind of crafty something or other we usually head right for the playground. All the toddlers fight over the baby swing so our new rule is "If you want to swing in the baby swing you get treated like a baby" which of course she doesn't want because "Terina's a big girl". She

has a lot of fun playing outside on the swings and slide. She even escaped this morning while everyone was still sleeping and made her way out to the playground in the Dora nighty.

The most exciting thing we did this month was go to Terina's first dentist appointment! She went in all by her self (I really wanted to go with her to take a picture but... I don't think the dentist wanted me back there.) She was really good and got her teeth brushed, flossed and they even got x-rays of her teeth. I was really suprised she didn't throw a fit because she cries everytime I ask her to brush her teeth! So her reward for doing so good at the dentist was a trip to Farell's at the mall where we shared a brownie sundae. She picked it herself from some pictures. Needless to say we didn't even eat half of it but it was super good.

I think the one thing Terina liked the most this month was our trip to PCC to watch the night show. Ever since that night she's been asking to go watch the hula dancers and asking for "Uncle Junior" who is one of Kasala's good friends who spends quite a bit of time with us. Terina loves when Junior comes around. Anyways... we bought an annual pass so we can go and watch the show when ever we need something to do and Terina is still fansenated with it after seeing it 10 times as she was the first. She loves looking for Kasala and his friends while they are on stage and she yells out their names. I don't think they can hear her but I like to think that they can hear their number 1 fan. This last time, we went with Kim, her aunt, Kate and Jake. They were a little late and when the show started Terina was so mad cause we were outside waiting and not inside. But here she is patiently waiting to go inside... and trying to see what was going on.

So anyways.. our month so far has not been that exciting. No big news, no site seeing or new adventures.... just the same old thing. We can't wait to get back to Washington for the holidays but I have to keep reminding myself that this is where our home is for now and that I have to come back.
