Tulip Festival 2007

We had planned on going on Easter Sunday, but the forecast said Saturday would be better. Boy, were they wrong. At least it didn't rain on us, and the girls had a great time. The girls were a bit tired, and Jeremy's allergies kicked in, so I drove home while all 3 of them took a nap. Sunday we did yard work while the girls played outside. We had planned an egg hunt, but when the grass was up to our knees plans were changed.

The secret is out

Cassidy had her annual check up recently. She recently got a doctor kit, so it was fairly easy going, until....the shots. I had mentioned them before we went. The doctor mentioned them. Cassidy seemed to not be happy about it, but knew that she had to do it, three times. So what do you do when your child starts crying and sobbing, "Mommy it hurts, don't do it again."? Normally, I'm a whimp and make Jeremy do the shots as he is better at making them feel better and get over it quickly. I thought Cassidy was old enough that I could rationalize it out with her, but after that first poke, there was no more rational thoughts for her. She got through the next 2 quickly and then it was time to leave. The receptionist told Cassidy that she got to pick 5 stickers, and that if she didn't see any she liked that she could look through her secret box of stickers. Well, Cassidy had to go check it out. After making her selections, the receptionist told her, "Now, don't tell anyone about my secret stash of stickers." Cassidy said she wouldn't. I said, "Not even Keira." "Oh, I won't tell Keira. But I will tell Julianne and Tea. Oh yeah, and Angelina!" So much for secrets. She even told Jessie, when we got home, but at least she whispered it.
