First Field Trip...Almost

So, as you can tell by the title, Elizabeth was going to have her first school field trip today. We were scheduled to go to the pumpkin patch but unfortunately, due to weather, it was cancelled. (It hadn't rained in 2 days so I thought we were all clear in the weather department.) The other unfortunate thing was the teacher emailed this piece of news sometime after 8 pm (that's when I last checked my email) to let everyone know. So, I woke up early this morning, got Elizabeth all dressed in her school shirt and pumpkin hair clips, and we headed over to Jessica's because she was babysitting Ben for me. After the 40 min. drive to her house (due to rush hour traffic) it took another 45 min. to drive back to her school. We get there by 9 (just barely), I unbuckle her huge car seat, drag it through the door, and was then told - oops -you didn't get the email??

So, we'll repeat this day next Thursday - weather permitting of course! :)


On Wednesday Jessica invited us over to play, along with Janet and Allison. Jackson was being so smiley!

We did a comparison of Amelia ( my SIL Victoria's little girl) and Jackson. Amelia is 5 weeks older than Jackson - I would say they are pretty comparable in size!We did the same thing when Ben and Cooper were born. Ben is on the left. Ben is 5 weeks old than Cooper - and again - very comparable in size! Jessica and Ryan make big babies!

Some of the big kids. Emily and Zach - the 2 kids under 2 - were a little too busy running around to pose for a photo.



Elizabeth and Josh with Amelia.


I caught Emily just hanging around. She smiles and plays all the time - next time I'm working on getting a smiling picture!
Thanks for having us to play, Jessica!

Oh my goodness! That is really unfortunate about the field trip - especially because she was sooo excited! Yesterday was fun and the kids all had a blast.

I was glad that you at least were able to bring Ben over to me, Cooper and I had fun with him! And we also had lots of fun when you all came over to play! Good pictures!

OUCH! I would have gone through the ceiling! Seems like a job for a phone tree! You seem to have handled it with aplomb! Good example Mommy!
