Ouch!

Okay so they look like they are stuck in the 80's but it gets the idea across - Ian and I have just started getting Allergy Shots last week. His is luckier than I am as he only needs one and I have to get TWO!! I brought him in because he is constantly in a stuffed up nose state - I actually took him in 2 years ago - well actually before that when he was only 8 months old we did our first testing and he is my allergy, asthma & (lucky us) Peanut allergy kid. But of course - as HF designs it this way - he is the happiest most amiable child - I'm sure it is just because he has to put up with all the "special" treatment. Inhalers, treatments, nose sprays, medications & now injections! But I digress - I brought him and and went myself because soccer season kicks my butt - allergy wise - when we got our skin tests done they told me I was a better candidate for shots than Ian! Boy do they hurt!

We went for a fun Chuck E. Cheese day - Linda was terrific - she went 2 days in a row just to go with all her friends! It was crowded - apparently we weren't the only ones with the same idea. Linda's boys had accumulated over 4100 tickets for the summer - crazy! All the kids racked up more points today and they shared them - we made off with a CEC Bubble Gum machine - oh joy! Our friend Rachel came out from our old Ward - it's fun because we all have kids the same age - between us we have 15 kids - all the same ages - fun times.

This weekend is lowkey - nice before school starts on Tuesday. We're watching my friend CeCe's kids now so they could go out on a date - I practically made them go - they are the kind of friends that would give you the shirt off their backs - literally - so I had to do the sly, "What are you doing Friday night?" When she said nothing - I said "let me watch your kids!!! Go out with your man!!!" Dave was the little league coach - for the "other team" so he got a nice GC for a restaurant in town - so a nice night for them, free dinner & free babysitting - gotta love those! Of course they won't take advantage though and they'll come back early - I told them to go to the movies - the probably won't - ha ha

We also have Judson here too (Linda's #4) and we had Katie Rose here for Tyler - I love having all the friends over - at the end of the night if we forget to have the kids help clean up I tend to second guess myself - but I really don't mind it - I think we didn't have family friends like that growing up - but I did get my cousins - and when I got older in 8th grade + we started spending weekends with friend's families or vacations and it was fun. I want my kids to know I love their friends too and they are always welcome.....

Have a great weekend - I'm just looking forward to relaxing with the family....
