Hello Epipen

So........

on Sunday just before church I gave the kids each a bowl of fruit.  When they were done, they saw daddy's cereal on the counter and asked for some so I gave them each one (count it - 1) piece of Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal.  Five minutes later FeFe throws up.  I already had my suspicions that she she didn't much care for peanut butter because she always spit it out and made a horrible face when I tried to feed it to her but I just thought she didn't like it due to lack of exposure.  So that is why I had continued to feed it to her.  Today we went to the pediatrician and upon hearing the story she states "We'll need to get you an epipen.".  No wondering or convincing the doctor that testing was needed.  Just "Here's your prescription, if you use it call 911".  How crazy.  So I need to schedule an appointment with an allergist to see how severe the allergy is.  And I was really hoping for some fun picnics this summer with peanut butter sandwiches.  Oh well.

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day this year was lots of fun and VERY relaxing.  We were lucky enough to have Uncle Punkface come to visit and spend some quality time playing rock band and reading all kinds of crazy stories to NayNay and FeFe.  Then cousin Angie with little ones Kyra and Ian came up to play.  We ate all kinds of crazy food, helped the little ones learn to share, and enjoyed way to much sun.  On Memorial Day we were fortunate enough to be invited to a BBQ on Alki beach with some friends who own kayaks!  Thanks Jared and Leslie for sharing your toys!!  Super fun for all!  NayNay was  a little nervous about going out (I think he thought he had to get in the water), but enjoyed his time out there.

FeFe, on the other hand, was very eager to go out.  She went out once and then found her dad and begged to go out a second time!  I swear, that girl keeps me on my toes.  No fear!
The kids loved playing on the beach and digging big holes which immediately filled back in as the tide was coming in!
But most of all they loved the police men on horses!  They went over to the horses two or three times and came back with honorary badges.  NayNay (a big transformers fan) then went around flashing his badge and telling everyone that he was with Sector 7!
All in all it was great fun.  Thanks to everyone who came to visit!

Boys will be boys?

So a good friend of mine does babysitting trades with me on a pretty regular basis.  Because of this, our kids are pretty good friends.  Here is a picture of the girls cooking and having a little tea party.  Meanwhile....

This is what the boys are doing...for hours...and hours.  CRAZY!!!!
