UFA family BBQ

Leave a reply

We had this awesome fun family United for Adoption BBQ to go to. Jon got sick so I decided to Mom up and take the five solo. Because I’m an idiot.

Holy crap. I was trying SO hard not to cry driving home after. I did curl up in my bed next to my sick hubby and just cry it out with lots of whining. LOTS.

I cannot take R anywhere without Jon. He doesn’t like me and thinks it’s funny to hit me and throw things at me, and just plain not listen. Ever and at all. I was SO emotionally/mentally/physically drained after this party. I did not have fun.

The kiddos had lots of fun so for that reason alone I am glad I Momed up and took them to play.IMG_0693 IMG_0700 IMG_0702 IMG_0705 IMG_0716 IMG_0731

He doesn’t look terribly scary does he? But boy, oh boy is this one exhausting. He had fun in between meltdowns which where always….IMG_0734 IMG_0737 IMG_0809

Olivia knew I was coming and asked what pinata I was going to make. Because a party+Janice= pinata. BWHAHAHAHAHA! I asked her what kind of pinata I should make. She chose a cornucopia since it was close to Thanksgiving… Reasons I love Olivia.IMG_0820 IMG_0846This is me making an effort (I did promise Shannon) to be IN pictures and not just take them. And little Monkey slept most of the party. She’s good to me like that. 😉

Hair cuts

We needed some trimming. So Jack'ee came over to make our hair all pretty again. No more yucky ends for us.

IMG_9299 IMG_9304Jack'ee was freaked out about cutting the baby's hair with her SUPER shar leathal scissors. They both did fine. No more baby mullet! IMG_9305 IMG_9315Jack'ee thinned out V's hair to make it more manageable and gave her a much needed trim. Her hair is so much healthier looking now. Easier to wash and brush too!

So grateful for my awesome sister driving an hour to do our hair. She is the best!

Me, five kids, Dr. office, shots. No one had fun. But we survived.

Well these two who are super great and use to Dr. offices had fun. The other three… not so much.

Kaylee and her EpiPen.

She is such a trooper. And SO tough. Three shots in the back of her arms and no flinching. She made faces and counted down and held her breath. But no flinching and no tears.

You can see she used her fingers to count down while she held her breath for the third shot. We get to do this every week for 6 months to a year. Oh, joy!
