Happy Birthday Daddy!

My kids are funny!

These are a few of the gifts they gave to Todd on his birthday.

The purple card is from Eva. El asked her what she wanted to say and wrote it for her. I am not so thrilled about her favorite thing! The green card was from El. That should help cut down on the arguments! The painting is from El. The pictures are from our dinner at Rocco's. I am not sure why the painting came out so narrow.

I'm in trouble

We just arrived home from picking El up from school. El went to the pantry for a snack, decided on Oreos and Eva wanted some too. El took two napkins and gave herself and Eva four cookies each. I then hear Eva from the pantry, "No, no, NO Issy... I wanted the whole bag... You are ruining my LIFE!"

We had a little talk:)

I just had to add this picture... it seemed to fit. This was from Daddy's birthday dinner. Eva did not want her picture taken.

Trample-M

El, Eva, Mallory, and Jessica all jumping on the trample-m (evaism). It is quite a bit of fun... I wonder how long before I hurt myself?

Happy Mommy Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! El does not disappoint. We started with brunch at The Crossings where Daddy made reservations. After brunch El let me open some presents. She made me a bracelet (beautiful), made a slideshow set to music (sweet), and wrote a poem (made me cry), and cracked a confetti egg over my head (to keep me laughing). Eva told me she was getting my present. She then looked and looked around her room. She later said, "I tried to get you a present but I couldn't find anything adult enough".

When we returned home El treated me to a mani-pedi. She did the whole deal. My hands and feet are still soft! Eva helped out a bit too. While El was polishing my fingers, Eva put cream on my feet. She used the entire container and then wrapped my feet in tissues.

All in all a most wonderful day!!!

Poor Eva

Eva had her 4 year old check up. She was very worried about having to get shots. I can't blame her... I don't like them either. When the nurse came in she went a bit crazy yelling, "No! Please no Mommy!". Yes... it ripped my insides out! I knew we had to get this over with. I had to hold her hands and top of her body. When she actually received the first two shots there was no crying, then with the last two she cried a bit. The worst was before any shots were given! Then the poor sweetheart ran a fever from the immunizations and caught a cold. She slept a lot over the next two days.

Ahhhh...

The Lazy River opened today! I surprised the girls with an afternoon swim. They were thrilled! Eva is happy because she can breathe under water because she is half mermaid. (Wish me luck on that one!)
