Sorry!

I know I haven't posted in over a week! Dave was hassling me today about slacking on the blog... so here is a little update...

I had to take Victoria to the Dr. last week because she has been developing a bad rash on her hands that is spreading up into the inside of her elbows. It turns out that she has developed eczema and the Dr. prescribed a cream for her. The cream is helping but it is still very itchy for her. She keeps pointing to her hands and saying 'Owie'.

I attempted to go for a run Thursday night and I ended up almost collapsing on the side of the road. I came home and went straight to the Dr. who prescribed me some super strong anti-inflammatories for what turns out to be shin splints! So my legs have been really sore all week.

Our church is sending a team to Mexico to build 4 houses for homeless families this summer and we went to a Mexican Fiesta fundraiser on Saturday night. It was fun... great food! Hannah and Victoria went to the kid's fiesta where they played fun games and smacked a pinata around. The girls each had to pay $2 for their fiesta and I told them that they had to pay for it out of their piggy banks. I gave them each a little ziploc bag to put their money in and I helped them find a toonie from each of their piggy banks. After Hannah put her toonie in the bag I told her that she could put more money in for the Mexican kids if she wanted to. Surprisingly Hannah actually put a huge handful of coins into the bag :-) Victoria on the other hand did not want to part with her money as easily... she only put one extra quarter in her bag and then she quickly hoarded the rest of her money back in her piggy bank!

Hannah has learned how to ride her 'big girl' bike... she can ride all over the cul-de-sac now! She has been really good about following the rules... she is allowed to ride to the stop sign and then she has to turn around and come back. Now that Hannah is riding the big bike Victoria gets the tricycle. Victoria can't really pedal yet but she loves to sit on it and get pushed around. She gets so excited 'Me bike! Me bike!'
