Long week.....sorry for the absence. I know it pains you all. Here is life in assorted randomness.
Ryan has allergies. So on our last visit to the allergist she had the pleasure of meeting the 'catepillar' - the lovely contraption that pricked her back 4 times (8 pricks each for a total of 32) to test for all sorts of reactions. Basically the girl is allergic to all things outdoors. Which perhaps explains her vampire nature. Anyway, she was a trooper - whimpered a bit but didn't throw any big fits. Of course she was rewarded handsomely with a trip to Tar-jay for a 'zerbert' afterwards.
We passed the 15 minute waiting time doing crafts with my planner.
PS - I'm always amazed how far medicine has come since we were all kids - my mother was recalling how my brother had to have 150+ shots (individual shots) in his back to test for every allergy under the sun. The 'catepillar' Ryan got was a small prick, didn't really hurt as much as just scared her.
She and her dad shared silly faces via text.....he helped lighten the mood even from his office. You can see the dark circles under her eyes - the doctor can spot children a mile away by the 'allergy eye'.
Moving on....we discovered that leaving chalk in water creates a fun paste to finger paint with. Also comes in handy when trying to morph into a Smurf.
Ryan had her end-of-the-year school field trip to the library and the custard station.
Reese was invited too....although the story time portion at the library may not have been a great idea. Somebody has an aversion to sitting still. Imagine a 30 minute story time in a quiet library. I'll let your imagination take you there.
iPad mania - the girls were lucky enough to receive Ella's very first iPad as a little gift. To say they love the thing is an understatement.
Naked Reese and electronics....the girl is in heaven
Reese has recently taken to lounging, Hugh Hefner style, in her robe after a bath. Pajamas are forbidden until she deems herself ready.
Dressing around these parts is still a mismatched assortment of terrible. And now that Reese has joined the opinionated club, it's a gamble as to what we'll leave the house looking like.
Our collective guilty pleasure is grabbing a few munchkins (and coffee for mom) and hitting up the park before 9am.
We went to the zoo earlier this week - just us three girls - they felt right at home here:
We rode the carousal
Reese was in her usual goofball mode and vacillated between this (eyes closed):
and this (faux serious) for most of the ride:
but I busted her and caught a smile.
We threw in an elephant for good measure:
Of course Ryan's school picnic ended with Reese like this:
Ryan was channeling her inner prison guard and jailed her sister and Amelia:

Happy Friday!
