First round of allergy shots

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!

Regan’s 5th Birthday Party

He wanted a Halloween theme for his party this year. I was pretty excited because the house was already half decorated, and it was a nice excuse to buy more Halloween decorations. I have Hotel Transylvania on during the party. And party guest were encouraged to dress up.

IMG_0296 IMG_0313Regan had a meltdown whe he lost at musical squares. Because in his world the point of playing is to win. And loosing sucks. Getting him to be a good sport when he doesn't win has been a work in progress for years. Years. To be fair he is getting better about.

My two OB's were there and made me go to labor and delivery. Guess I was looking pretty rough. Jake was hopping Regan would be born on his birthday, but no such luck. He made his grand entrance into the world a few days later.
