Cupcake wars

They are obsessed with Cupcake Wars. It’s a new favorite after school/homework show.

And then they watned to have their own cupcake war… I’m pretty sure Kaylee ate something that Reagan didn’t approve of. His face! HA!IMG_6221Egg and dairy free baking is getting so easy that even the kids can do it. Plus it really does taste yummy. 🙂 I was the judge so I HAD to try both of their cakes. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it. 😉 I gave them both a gold star.

When you share a buddy

Kaylee and Regan are usually pretty good about sharing their claim on miss Gilli. Gilli is pretty great at all activities.

But sometimes Regan has to just man up and go with the girly flow. Because she is his buddy and invited him to her princess tea party.

And you know what? Tea parties are super fun!IMG_4839

Also swimming with bow water guns. Because balance in all things. 🙂IMG_4849 IMG_4851

They were cracking me up with their happy dances while Gilli opened her gifts.IMG_4855 IMG_4856And I did actually remember to bring them their safe cupcakes. Mom win!  Little Monkey girl had to just be content with a chew toy.

Epi Pen discharge

Old orange plus expired Epi Pens = fun for him and terror for her. In case of anaphylaxis Regan will save you. Kaylee will get Regan.

IMG_4062He was so fast I didn’t actually get any photos of his discharge. I made him do a mock discharge with the practice pen. He vocalized all the steps as he did them too. “Pull pin, hold area firm, firm jab, and count down, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! Done!” There was no hesitation.

Kaylee… She wasn’t thrilled about this real life practice. She’s great with the practice pens.IMG_4066 IMG_4068 IMG_4069

Kaylee had a minor panic attack over the fact that it was the real deal and therefore had an actual needle inside of it. Below she is verifying that the pen does indeed suck the needle up inside and cannot hurt her post discharge.IMG_4074I think she will be more confident when our next set expire and need to be discharged. Both of them did awesome and could in fact save themselves/each other/others. Regan would just be faster with the save. 😉
