Shots and more...

This week 3 Lafleurs had to get shots. Peter got his 6 month shots, and Ella and Juju got their booster shots.

The girls did great and we celebrated at the cupcake store after. There is a little cupcake store right down the street from where the girls had their shots. So they were looking forward to this day all week - I guess cupcakes outweigh having to get a couple of shots.

The girls also each got a finger puppet after their shots. There is an elderly lady who knits finger puppets for all the kids who are getting their booster shots. Bless her heart.

Juju thought she would wear her peach sweater for the occasion :)

We had a fun date! As much as I love being a momma to 4, it is also really special to take 1 or 2 of them somewhere. I loved eating a cupcake with our girls.

Ella and Juliette have been very into tic-tac-toe. It is hilarious to overhear their conversations while playing. Ella usually wins when they play. The other day I overheard:

J - Ella you alwaaaays win... don't win again.

E - Juj you win sometimes. And I might win again.

E - Juj, unless you block me I will win again.

E - Juj, DO NOT put it there, if you do I will for sure win again.

And so Juju won that game, thanks to a little help from her big sister :)

Poor Peter spends a lot of time playing with dolls, being read princess books, and having tiaras put on him. Thanks for being such a great sport, Peter. We love you!

I love the perspective of a child. The other day I thanked the girls for pulling the weeds in our yard. Juliette looked at me with complete confusion and said "we aren't pulling weeds, we are picking flowers." I have been given several piles of weeds ... I mean, bouquets of flowers over the past month. Some of them even end up in a vase on our dining room table.

Juliette holds me to a higher standard. She likes to dress like me, and she would also like to have a very similar life to mine when she's older. She would like to have 4 kids - 3 girls and 1 boy. And she is going to homeschool them and read them lots of books. Whenever I ask her what job she wants to do when she's big she says "I will take care of all my kids." When I ask her if she would like to do any other jobs, she says "is babysitting a job? Before I have my own kids I want to babysit."

 Here we are wearing our striped shirts, peach sweaters, and jeans.
