Mother-of-the-Year Award

Last Friday I was in a hurry and trying to get Bailey into the house after we got home from running errands. I slid open the van door so that I could grab the groceries from the car (none too gently...remember I was in a hurry). The next thing I know Bailey is screaming, flat on her back with her legs up in the air. Apparently when I slid the door open the back edge caught her right in the middle of her forehead. I dented the poor kid's head! Bailey was screaming, there was some blood, and within a minute it looked like she was growing a third eye on her head. I felt really bad! It ended up not being as serious as I thought it was going to be, but Bailey will tell everyone who asks about her head that her mom hit her with the car door. Poor kid.

Happy Birthday to You and You!

August is a big birthday month at our house. Cory had his birthday on August 13th, which I think the girls enjoyed more than he did! Riley celebrated her 7th birthday on the 23rd, and we partied all week for her big day. Ry had a party with several of her friends and had a party with her cousins, too. It must have been a successful day because when we were tucking her into bed she said it had been the best day ever.

What a cute 7-year old!
