A Few of the Things That Made This Week Great.

We finally rounded out the annual kid check-ups with Eva on Monday and Emily on Tuesday. All four of them received flu shots this week too. Imagine each one of them as they stepped up to the table, all watching one another, watching the nurse, watching me.

Emily, "the brave one" confidently went first and didn't flinch. Sarah, "the little trembling one" was second and choked back tight-faced tears. And my boy Wyatt, "little brave and trembling one" was last with a brave face and a trembling wince.

Eva watched it all, reliving the horror of the day before when she received hers. She actually received three of the five shots that she was due for. We decided to spare her the pain of all five in one go. It's definitely going to be hard to get her up on the table for the next round though.

You know, whenever I think of vaccinations, I always remember the scene in Raising Arizona where the wife of the swinger couple was talking about the "dip-tet." I'm pretty sure RA is at the summit of my funniest movie list and I can't even think of one that would top it.

Monday I made lasagna. I love my lasagna, Tony and the kids do too. Well, Eva is not much of an eater these days so I'm not counting her. She is more of a heavy drinker and a fruit eater.

Tuesday we ate leftover lasagna and it tasted better than on Monday.

Wednesday we were invited to Tony's cousin Ricky's birthday party, at dinnertime.

Thursday, Emily had her soccer team end-of-season pizza party.

Just merely having Friday in a week makes every week great. Tonight we went to astronomy night at the kids' school. We saw beautiful Jupiter and its four largest moons through the university's high powered telescopes. Our PTA sold tamales and we all ate them, even miss picky pants.

Notice I have not cooked a meal since Monday. *sigh* *smile* *contented feelings*

Tomorrow is the last day of soccer games. Three games and two pizza party's remain. One pizza party is at lunchtime. One is at dinnertime.

I will cook breakfast in the morning. *more contented feelings washing over me*

It was a really really good week.
