Pumpkin Patch

Shannon got to go to the pumpkin patch with Taylor's class last week (while I took daughter #3 to get 6 mos shots). The girls said that the trailer was stinky. Shannon said that the whole place was kinda stinky. That might have something to do with the porta potty's. ;)

Look at that big kindergarten class!! One observation-- as the mother of a 5k student, I am in the middle of a non-stop spelling bee. "Mommy, how do you spell....." For those of you who have read my blog for more than 5 minutes, you know spelling is not my strong suit. My mom swears that she named me Amy so I could spell it. We've actually had to make a few lifeline calls to get Taylor help with spelling. Anabelle likes to spell things too. Her question on how to spell something is often followed with, "Ok, how do you make a G?" So funny.

So, everyone was quietly eating breakfast, Caroline was playing in her exersaucer so I thought I could run to the shower for my typical 4 minutes. Taylor came in with my phone in hand. She had captured Anabelle getting into the candy and wanted me to know exactly what was happening. These girls crack me up!!!!

so I don't know how to spell the present tense of tattle...and????

busy busy busy

we have been so busy. Parent/Baby dedication, visit from papaw and gran, our weekend with corduroy (taylor's school project), and introducing 'solid' foods to Caroline. For the record, she's no fan of rice cereal.

Advice for future older siblings...

Taylor's little buddy Cade is due to have a new baby bro/sis any day now. I guess she just wanted to give him a quick refresser course...

(Translation: Dear Cade. Do not climb on the baby's crib. Do not hold the baby unless you have washed your hands)

Tuesday Nite is girls night

Tonight was one of those, Shannon's playing basketball, mommy's out of patience, no nap girls are going to bed early tonight, night. But look at these faces...even on my most exhausting days, I can't help but smile and be thankful. I am so blessed. Can you tell it was spaghetti night in the Rushing household?

FYI...girls are climbing on me and say they officially approve of this post.

***yes, Caroline does have clothes...my mom was concerned so I thought I should assure everyone that she does in fact have some clothes to wear. ;)

6 months old already

Hello, my name is Caroline Grace, but my sisters call me Cay-o-line. I am six months old today. I have several favorite activities including; blowing bubbles/spitting, smiling at my sisters, pulling hair, having pretty eyes...

flipping over CONSTANTLY (especially when my mom wants to take my picture),

and LOVING my feet. I like to play with them and talk to them and put them in my mouth.

This is pretty much my at rest expression. My mom thinks that I am constantly wondering how I got in this mess of a family. These people are CRAZY, but they love me very much!
