do you remember yet?
urgh. if too much time goes by without my updating this, it gets to be very overwhelming and then i can't think of what i want to write about.
so tonight on our way back home from dinner, abby was in her carseat drinking the rest of her milk out of her sippy cup. she was doing her regular stream-of-consciousness talking to herself, and suddenly goes "mom! what i drinking that comes from a cow?" i laughed and said that she should tell me, and she goes "milk! milk come from a cow!" then about 5 seconds later she goes "what i drinking that comes from a cow? do you remember?" so, we went back and forth with me guessing completely ridiculous things and her fake-sighing and going "nooooo, mom...MILK come from a cow!" it just cracked us up, her asking us if we remembered.
she's been a hyper hyper child lately, and difficult to be around. she doesn't stop talking, she doesn't stop moving, she doesn't listen all that well, and it's just constant. we've even tried to play the "let's not talk until the timer goes off" game, but that doesn't really work. so, being 33 and a half weeks pregnant and dealing with the hyper hypo has been slightly frustrating. i certainly hope it's just a phase.

wow. didn't think it had been almost 2 weeks since i updated this. me bad mommyblogger.
so, brian's been gone at training since the 4th, but he gets back tomorrow. woohoo!! abby and i have done pretty well with him being gone, but we're both STOKED that he's finally coming back. i'm ready to not be the only caregiver for a while. :)

black anaconda
so today was our last adventure to noah's ark of the summer. we had originally planned on going this past monday, but thunderstorms and 65-degree temps made it seem like not such a good idea. so, we went today instead. we had an awesome time...probably better than the last time we went because we knew more about what we wanted to do. it was only about 75 or so, and the water was pretty chilly, but it was still tons of fun.
highlights: going around the lazy river 3 times and having abby say, "let's go again!", being able to somewhat lay on my stomach in the tube on the lazy river, abby dancing in the wave pool and singing, "dancing in the poo-ool, once or twice, around around around around around and STOP and splash.", abby telling me that she wasn't going to take a nap in the car on the way home and less than a minute later passing out in her car seat. fun times for all.
so we have a super-busy couple of weeks coming up...
saturday: edgerton steam show with grandma and grandpa schultz where abby gets to ride a train for the first time.
sunday: taste of madison
monday: brian's birthday! dinner at fuddrucker's and cold stone ice cream afterwards.
tuesday: brian starts cafe training in crystal lake, abby and i go down there with him.
wednesday: family day in the chicago burbs, trip to dekalb. brian goes to brewers game at night, abby and i come home.
thursday: church choir rehearsals start.
friday: doctor's appointment, then up to appleton.
saturday: in appleton, then brian back at night.
there's more after that, but it's making me tired thinking about it.

silly or serious?
yesterday i was sitting at the computer and abby was playing, and she came up to me holding her sippy cup sideways. she then brought the cup to her mouth sideways like that and said, "look mommy! milk on the cob!" cue hysterical laughter from both of us. :)
and tonight? for supper? she wanted "banana peels and milk on the cob."

abby's mispronunciations
piano=pananno
regular=regulee
guitar=ahtar
problem=plahlem
pull-up=pull-ut
pedals=puddles
animals=ehmos (elmos)
i'm sure there are more, but that's all that's occurring to me right now.
we're headed back to noah's ark on monday since we still have 2 tickets left. looks like we'll actually have nice weather, too. other than that, we have nothing planned for the weekend. should be kind of nice.
