Busy Summer Days

Seems like there's been an awful lot of running around lately, doctors appointments, gymnastic and dance classes, bootcamp, etc. We got seriously behind on the kids immunizations and we've been playing catch up. I took Alaina in for her checkup and she got 5 shots and a blood test! Poor baby she was so not happy. Before she got them she kept asking me is it going to hurt?? I didn't have the heart to say yes so I said no it's just a little pinch. Afterwards she said, "Mommy those shots really did hurt! I don't like that." Ohhhh what a mean mom. What made me so angry was the lady who came in to give her the blood test chose her right arm and put the needle in only to find no vein, whatever she thought she felt was wrong and instead of taking the needle out and fixing her mistake she dug it around in her arm!!! All the while Alaina is screaming bloody murder (she had already had her 5 shots so the girl did not want anymore needles), I have never in my life wanted to deck someone sooooo much! Instead I just clenched my fists and gave her a look like "hey moron get it together!" Finally she pulled the needle out and attempted the other arm, talk about torture. After Alainas appointment I took her to Walmart to get her a toy because I felt so bad for her, and for telling her it wouldn't hurt....guilty conscience. She picked out some cute Barbie learning rollerskates.

After our millions of other errands, we went home and then back outside to try out her skates. Of course I had to get pictures of all the kids since my photos have been lacking. Even with all the crazy activity I am loving the summer and spending more time with my kids.

On another note, I started the Insanity program over again since my accident happened so I will start keeping you up to speed on that. I am so grateful to have recovered so quickly, although I do still have issues with my body from time to time I can workout again and that's a big deal for me! # I have almost completed my first week of Insanity so once that's complete I'll let you all know the status. I am also starting dance again....YAY!!! So darn excited for that! Tonight is my first class, I am doing ballet again and hopefully can add some lyrical in there as well. As far as beauty school goes it's something I will be picking back up once my kids are all in school. My car accident gave me a bit of a scare and made me realize just how quickly things can change. What if something would have happened to them? Thank heaven nothing did but it made me have a different perspective. My kids will only be this little for so long and I'd like to spend as much time as possible with them. Pretty soon they'll be independent and won't want Mom anymore, so I'm going to enjoy them while I can. Trust me though, beauty school is definitely something that is on my will do list!

My hairs back to a dark dark brown, the red was a ton of maintenance work, and Kurt wasn't really diggin it. It was fun while it lasted though!

Happy Summer!
