A Scout by any other name...

My name is somewhat unusual, but I still get called a lot of different nicknames.

Such as:

Scout-y-Kat

Scout-erella

Scout-ington

Scout-meister

Scouter

Scouter-outer

Scout-ster

Picklebum

Chickpea

Beauty-Bush

Twinky-Twonk

and my current fave,

BIG GIRL!!

Style and Substance

Dad and I went for a run yesterday; I decided to dress up a bit for the occasion. On our adventure we found something that I had never seen before - chestnuts! This was very interesting and exciting for me, and I brought two home to show mommy.

Because I am a girl of both style and substance this was a perfect outing for me. While strutting my stuff, I was able to learn lots of new things about chestnuts, nuts in general and the different ways trees spread their 'seeds' (one of my faves are the maple 'helicopters' - I have a collection of these as well).

Stay tuned for more exciting adventures!

Cottage Living, continued...

A Rare and Endangered Treat...

Cottage living is fabulous - even if only for a few glorious days!

From the garden-files, For the garden-philes

Bee-haven is one of my new faves.

We got our first ripe tomato from our little garden yesterday and I ate

The. Whole. Thing.

in about 2 minutes flat.

Daddy's little girl!

Al Bundy would be proud.

This is the very first week that I am attending school

wearing "big girl underwear"!

This is a BIG deal.

Mom says that sometimes learning new things is a bit tricky,

but I just need to keep trying. She says I'm doing a great job.

I told mom that I learn new things every day and

yesterday, I learned that peeing in the potty at school

is not scary.

I also told mom that soon I will be a big woman with big boobies,

and then I will pee in the potty every time.

(mom says for the sake of my social life, she hopes I am potty trained

BEFORE becoming a big woman!)

Head and Shoulders

Oh, the silliness!

Good Times on the Long Weekend
