Watermelon

I love it. Seriously. I can eat all I want, all day, every day, and it's never too much.  It's not too much of a good thing, and it's not too many calories.  I actually read somewhere that watermelon is a negative calorie food, meaning you burn more calories digesting it than you could consume from it.  It just makes me happy.

So we celebrated Thomas's birthday, and it was so much fun.  We went to the aquarium, and at first he was a little scared of the fish, but then he loved it. Especially the penguins.  We had a fun cake and cupcakes and pizza and breadsticks. It was great fun.  Then on his actual birthday we ordered more pizza (I'm sick of it) and sang and gave him his gift. We got him a tool set, with a drill that actually spins and screws in little screws.  He loves it. As in for 3 days that's the only toy he played with (that's a big deal for a 2 year old, let me just tell you).  He also got a fun magnetic alphabet book, cute clothes, and shoes from our families. It was a great 2nd birthday if I do say so myself.

The kids got shots, and Lorelai is 13.15 lbs, 23 inches, and Thomas is 23lbs and 33 inches.  I have one tall skinny kid and one short chunky one. I LOVE IT!  It's so much fun :)  However both kids shots at the same time, bad plan.  I had to have my mom come with me because James was at school, it's a good thing she was there because I hate it! Thomas was so upset, he kept saying "Hurt, hurt"  and it made my heart hurt.  Lorelai got over it pretty quickly, I cuddled her and she was fine, Thomas was sad for hours and kept telling me about it.  But he's done with shots until kindergarten, party!!!  Lorelai goes back in 2 months.

The police academy is in full swing now, and I miss James like crazy. But he's having a great time.
