Holy Hippie..It's Raining!

Yep, I'm the type that gets completely excited when it rains, like quite a few other people that live in sunny AZ. It's like getting a new present. We'll take all the rain we can get especially since our state has been in a drought for years. I think my skin is in a drought too from all the sun.

Well last night was meet the teacher night for my youngest daughter Taylor. There wasn't anything spectacular that went on, just the teacher explaining what they do, etc. So I had Taylor give me a tour of her classroom, her desk, her cubby, etc. I figured these would be good times to introduce my children and their different personalities to go along with the different meet the teacher days.

Taylor has a very fitting nickname that I have handed to her: Gabby Grace. Oh yes, very fitting. She could talk for days. About anything. About nothing. I think I hear her in my sleep. Her mind is constantly going and she believes she has to speak everything she thinks.

As for Grace..she is completely not graceful. Very clumsy indeed. A few examples...while running away from a friend's dog at her house she bonked right into the wall, she was playing ball outside at this same friends house and she fell right onto deer antlers and it poked a small hole into her leg, she's been to the hospital for falling off her bike and banging up her cheek. Now those were some of the bigger incidents, but just in general she can just be walking and there will be absolutely nothing on the floor, and she will trip over her own two feet, slide on pea gravel and hit the ground, just pretty much falls on anything..or nothing at all.

As much as I don't want any of my kids to get hurt, she is definately the one that takes it the best. She heals really well, she doesn't freak out, and it only hurts for the first day and then she doesn't have any complaints even though she still looks like she should be really hurting. So good thing for high pain tolerance.

Taylor has many aspects to her personality, she is sensitive, she is happy-go-lucky, she is mostly laughing all of the time even if there's really nothing to laugh at, she cares about others, she is sneaky when it comes to wrongdoing, definately not the one that will do it in front of adults since she reaaallly gets upset when she gets into trouble, so she will quietly do/say something and then smile at you like she'd done nothing wrong. I believe that she is starting to pick up her older sister's pre-teen 'tude. She is the girly girl of the family.

Here are some of the many faces of Taylor:

Cool Chick

Crazy hair day at school last year

Umm..don't really have an explanation for this!

Hilarious and creepy all at once!
