They also did some slam dunkin'.
The whole process of getting their shots was easier than last year. I took Casey in first knowing that he would get the most upset. As soon as we sat down in the chair and he saw the nurse his grip tightened on me. When she tore open the alcohol packet (before he saw any needle) he erupted - he knew exactly what was coming. Poor guy! After a few minutes he was okay. Maggie and Mitchell did good, they just cried for a few seconds. After they were done, the juice and smarties snack made things all better.
The kids have been interacting with each other a lot more lately. Now they actually talk to each other and try to tell each other things. It's made me realize how much fun they are going to have together and how great of buddies they will be (most of the time). They also have been playing pretend a lot more. Their favorite thing to do is say bye-bye and then we ask them where they're going. We can see the wheels turning in their heads and the most common response is that they are going to get groceries but they also go to work, play hockey and go on an airplane. Then they gather up their things and march off.
Maggie put her foot down with Mitchell the other day, I think she had had enough. I can't remember if it was at nap time or bedtime but it started when Maggie wanted to give Mitchell a kiss. He was playing hard to get for some reason which is strange for him because he loves to give kisses (I think he is going to be the little boy on the playground going around and kissing all of the girls). She followed him across the living room saying "Mitchell kiss, Mitchell kiss" and he just ignored her. She walked up behind him and pulled him down by the collar of his shirt and then dragged him a little ways across the floor. Daniel and I just looked at each other thinking, who is this girl? Obviously it wasn't a nice thing to do but it totally seemed like she was saying, "That's it Mitchell, I've had it! This is for not giving me a kiss and for all of those times you've stolen from me, pushed me, etc. Enough!".
The kids are just getting over a cold right now. We've been really lucky, they haven't had one in 7 months so we were due for one. Last weekend there was a big football game and because the kids were still sick we stayed home and they actually sat and watched part of the game. It was funny to hear them repeating what they heard, "Get 'em! Get 'em!" and "Are you kidding me?" and they also learned a touchdown dance. Here are our little cheerleaders.
With the Riders in the Grey Cup this weekend we are hosting a party. It will be a fun and crazy few hours! Let's hope things turn out better than last year!

Our kids are at that same stage where they are playing together more often and just having more fun with all the toys.
The flu shot wasn't nasal? It was so nice this year to just have them spray it in their noses.
No, we didn't have an option for a nasal spray. That would have been sooo much better!
