Flu Shot Day

Today the entire family had their flu shot. David started off the morning by having his at work. I then followed and had mine at work. Cole and Katie had theirs this afternoon. Like most kids, they hate shots. I picked them up from school about 15 minutes early. They had no idea what we were going to go do. Cole asked if we were going to do something fun? Is it a surprise? When I did not answer - he looked up and said, "We are going to go get a shot, aren't we?" When I said yes, he only asked why. Katie then said, "Cole is going to get a shot." When I told her that she was also getting a shot - those eyes began to tear up. Cole did really well with his shot. He decided that he should go first because he is the oldest. He only cried when it was over. Katie, on the other hand, yelled out like some sort of wounded animal. It was sooo loud and really funny. Katie then looked at the nurse and said, "That did not hurt." OH well. Who knows what will happen next year.

Funny words

Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.

Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons for the first time on Thursday. Both kids really need to learn how to swim. They are taking lessons from a very sweet girl named Hannah. She is a swim coach and teacher. Needless to say, she has experience. Cole was in tears as soon as heard about the lessons. Katie was pumped up and ready to go. When we arrived at the pool, Katie began to cry. Cole was trying to be very brave. She taught them the proper way to enter the pool and talked to them about the difference between the deep end and the shallow end. The lesson started with the dead man's float. Katie was up first. Katie floated and then Hannah told her the proper way to keep her head up so that her ears were under the water. Katie did not like that one bit. Hannah then told her that she would count to ten and then help her up. As soon as Katie's head was floating, Katie began to count. Hannah then informed Katie that she was the teacher and she had the right to be the one to count. Th...

Fire Crakcer, Fire Cracker, Boom, Boom, Boom

Today is News Years Eve. The kids and I spent the day at home making a cake. David went to a football game. We gathered at Marty and Jennifer's house along with the Brake family (who are moving tomorrow to Boston) and all ate soup and cake. As darkness fell, we took to the street to shoot off LOTS of fireworks - most illegal. The kids had a ball running around with sparklers while all the women watched for the cops! The husbands would light and run. Yes - it was a grand ol' time celebrating New Years Eve in the south! Too bad the Brake family are moving up north - I bet they will never see such a show up there. Well, heres to a new year.
