Girl's Night OUT

 (Kimber, Jenn, Alisha, Rach, and I)

Last night I got to go out with the FAB FIVE!  We have all known each other since High School (or longer...Jenn and Kimber are sisters and Rach and Alisha met in middle school).  After our High School reunion we all reconnected and now  you have us-the awesome five of fabulosity!  We went to Azuma (I was the only virgin of the group, I had never been to a Teppan/Sushi restaurant (I'm a Thai food girl!).  That said it was awesome.  I was a little disappointed at the lack of vegetarian options but I had the Hibachi  Vegetables, tofu as the protein.  I don't eat a lot of tofu because I try to stay away from soy but every now and then I enjoy it and it was really GOOD.  I also greatly appreciated that he cooked it before any meats.  Anyway, we had awesome conversation, food, and then went to see The Adjustment Bureau (which was really good, though parts of it I hated, in the end really good though!).  Afterward we talked in the parking lot for an hour and a half-because that is how we rollllllllll.  Props to the preggos (Jenn, having a girlie in Aug and Alisha, having a boy in late June/early July) for staying out until 11 and to Kimber for tearing yourself away from sweet Fo Fo!!!  I had not had a night out in 2 months, to say it was needed is a massive understatement.  Our (now annual!) Chama trip is in the works...watch out Chama!!!!  I love you ladies, heart and soul.  You are the BEST.

 I got updates all evening and this morning about Ms Alorah.  It is not easy to leave her right now but she was in capable hands, for sure!  This one came with the message "250 peak flow, great dinner, all meds done, watching Scooby Doo".  Diane sent all of these :D  My kids have the best grandparents. Alorah would have to agree, lol.  Faith is with my Mom and Vance is with Grandma Judy.  I tell ya, it takes a village (esp if I want a night off!)

 "Hot chocolate, Polly Pockets, and Goosebumps for breakfast"  Oh goodness, she may never want to leave. Oh wait....

She's trying to move in.  "Look what we found in our medicine cabinet"  (the Toms toothpaste and pink toothbrush).  I guess she's ahead of the curve...since we may very well be moving in if things head in the direction it looks like they are going.  Glad she likes it!

Cars, cars, and more cars! remote control cars!!!

On Saturday the kids got their flu shots. Just like every year. The past 2 have gone really, really well! Last year I took them all separately, because kids work off each others anxieties and fears, and it went so well! It taught them that they would be okay, it was very fast, and it was something that we did together. This year all 3 got them at the same time, in birth order (because they could not decide who would go first!). I bought a few items to encourage cooperation, I'm not above bribery! I got Faith a necklace and Alorah a bracelet for $1 ea. in the dollar spot at Target. I got Vance play dough. We left the treats at home but they knew about them! If anyone had done a table dive or thrown a fit there would be no treat! No one shed a single tear, they all got to pick where they got it (Faith and Vance chose their leg, Alorah chose her arm). I was very happy with them. They all got to pick a sticker and then we went to my dad's house to hang out for a little bit.

For Father's Day this year we got my dad remote control cars. 2 of them. That wasn't enough, Diane ended up getting him two more for his birthday. One is a batmobile. Oooh fun!

Batmobile! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

zooooooooom zoooooooooom!
