All girl...

Calla's been sick, and spent much of the day today napping off-and-on. Waking from one nap, she said: "go to mall? go to mall?"

Heh.

Pic from before the party

Patrick is in his t-shirt, and Calla has her wings on, so she's still in fairy-mode.

Voting Day

It was ever-so-much-fun with two squirmy toddlers. So glad I did it *early* when there was no line (a week and a half ago or so) instead of today. Heck, I hear there were lines even for early voters, as the day approached. Guess I beat the rush.

Anyhow, hope y'all voted. And whoever wins, I hope and pray that they do well by the country, and that, as divisive as this election has been, it won't be a lasting division.

And that it won't be a tainted/questioned win for the elected ticket.

Party and arms

The party was fun - kiddos really enjoyed it. Calla didn't want to leave, she wanted to go on another hayride, LOL.

Pictures of Patrick in his traditional shirt-and-hat (pic in them every year) and of Calla in her fairy/princess/ballerina outfit will be up probably around the middle of next week, as soon as my mother-in-law gets them uploaded.

My right arm is getting sorer and sorer (I checked, that's the arm the pneumonia vaccine was in. I didn't recall the flu shot bothering me that much last time I got it, so that it was the other vaccine makes sense). At this point, it hurts to raise it *at all*. Heck, it hurts a bit to type (with my upper arm tightly at my side). So, some ibuprofen, and I'm gonna get off the comp for the evening. Brief kudos to Target, though (as that's where I got the immunizations); they included a gift bag of: a pharmacy coupon (free gift card with purchase of new or transfer of old prescription), a travel pack of Kleenex, a travel bottle of Purell, a sample of Theraflu (plus $2 off coupon), and a bottle of 500mg vitamin C supplements (15 tablets). I don't know if this was the intent or not, but I'm gonna be taking them for the next two weeks to hopefully keep from contracting the flu from the vaccine.

Off to bed to relax. Night y'all!

Sore arms.

Well, both the hubby and I have sore arms now. Mine are from the flu and pneumonia vaccines. His is from a paintball session. He has three really admirable welts on his shoulder.

I think I'll skip the pics this time, LOL.

The kiddos did not want me to get the shots. They saw the needles and were crying, even though I kept telling them they were for me, not for them. Well, either they were crying from the needles, or just crying b/c I wasn't there at the cart with them, but instead, sitting behind a table. Could have been a little of both, but everyone around them seemed to think it was cute and assumed that it was b/c they didn't want me to get the shots. Hey, at least the other folks were amused instead of annoyed!

Kiddos got to have my "good girl" candy. Then milk at Starbucks. All was then right with the world, as far as they were concerned. :D

Not-Halloween Halloween party tonight. Bonfire, hayrides, etc. Should be fun! Calla will be a fairy, Patrick is just going in a Halloween-themed shirt and hat. They get to ride there in "Papi's brown ride" (1931 Studebaker), so they will LOVE that.

Two hours until the party. I'm gonna relax for a bit.
