Summer Vacation

The girls and I left on Tues. for a two week visit with Mimi and Papaw (my parents). Mom flew down on Mon. and we drove to their house on Tues. Becki and Sweet Haydey are coming tomorrow! Ben flew in tonight for the weekend!! Mom and Dad are actually getting ready to move back to Memphis in mid-July. The girls did great on the 13+hour trip. I am so blessed to have two wonderfully sweet and precious girls. I will post new pictures soon....as soon as I figure out how to do that from Papaw's computer!

Toilet Paper and Mannequins

It has definitely been a challenge to accomplish anything around the house. If one of the girls is sleeping, the other is awake and needs something. It's as if they have radar and sense that I am going to start something like dishes or the laundry...and BAM....someone needs me. :) I'm not complaining, just trying to figure out how or if this will change. Lately Sarah Anne has cried if she is awake and isn't being held. I carry her around in the sling, but sometimes she doesn't like even that. Today I decided I would just have to let her cry it out a bit while I threw in a load of laundry and got dressed. Caroline was following me around "helping" start the laundry. So with Sarah Anne crying in her swing I started the laundry. About half way into what I was doing I realized my helper (Caroline) was gone. I was sure she had gone in to see Sarah Anne (Sissy, My Sissy, My Baby...all names Caroline calls her). She loves to watch over and help her. When I came out of the laundry room there, down the hall in the bathroom, stood Caroline with a huge smile on her sweet little face. In one hand she had an empty roll of toilet paper and in the other hand she had soggy toilet paper that she had put in and pulled out of the toilet. She was very proud of herself! She helped me clean everything up (she loves to clean anything) and I shut the door behind us. What is the fascination that draws kids to the toilet? It's time I bought Caroline a water table for outside. :)

Today we went to the mall. It was just too hot to go to the pool or do anything outside. Caroline waved and blew kisses to every mannequin we passed. :) She was also friends with half of Macys by the time we left. She is not shy to say the least!

Bucket Head

Here is our sweet,smart Caroline walking around with her Easter bucket on her head. Why, you may ask? I have no idea, but it is hilarious! She walks around with it over her eyes until she runs into something (probably not the safest activity...but I'm watching her carefully!). She is sooooooooo sassy and funny!

Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the girls taken this week. Sarah Anne is 6 weeks old and doing well.... as long as she can burp! When she can't get it out, we all hurt. :) The picture of Caroline shows her playing with Ben's Budweiser pitcher that he used to water the flowers on the patio...no beer was involved. :) The last one is how Ben and I found Caroline sleeping the other night. We thought it was funny that she was hugging her bumper pad (yes, we are the bad parents that actually left the bumper pad in her crib although the experts say not to). :)
