Tooth-hurty

Lizzie and I had our bi-annual dental check-up last month and on that check-up they found out that Lizzie and I had matching cavities. Isn't that so cute? Anyhow today we both had them filled. I was so nervous for Lizzie. She's never had a cavity and I was a little worried as to how she would react to things like Novocaine and drills. We scheduled the appointments so Lizzie could watch me first and then I would sit by her side during her turn.
Well, when they finally got me in my room it was 20 minutes late, thus they were running behind. They put the topical on my tooth and then the dentist came in with the Novocaine. Lizzie watched as he stuck me and I hoped that she wasn't freaking out on the inside. Then the dentist said he'd be back in just a minute to take care of me. Lizzie and I were reading books together when the hygienist came in and said they'd get Lizzie's topical on while they were working on me. So they took her to a different room and I could hear Lizzie charming everyone in her path. Before I knew it I had been sitting in the same chair for 30 minutes without the dentist even coming back in. I thought they would have come for me to check on Lizzie but they just left me there. I could hear her chatting it up with everyone. When the dentist and hygienist came in they were talking about how impressed they were with Lizzie and how she didn't even flinch during the shot! I was so mad. I had wanted to be there for her in case she freaked out or something. But I guess I didn't need to be mad she did great. They worked on my tooth for like 5 minutes and I was done. When I went to Lizzie's room she had like 3 hygienist gathered around her and I thought for sure there was something wrong. Then they all started laughing. She was reading them all one of her books. I watched as the dentist talked to her and showed her the drill and then he told her that if anything started to hurt she just needed to put her left hand up. I held my breath as he started the drill just anticipating some sort of scream of agony when she raised her left hand. The dentist pulled back and asked if she was OK and she said yes. Then he started working again and she lifted her hand once more. I started to get concerned then I saw the twinkle in her eye. She was totally messing with them. Just seeing if they really would do what she wanted them to do. Anyhow she let them finish up the work and then we were on our way. I was proud of the brave little girl. And glad to have that particular first under my parenting belt. Anyhow I guess we'll have to work on better brushing ethics so we don't have to do that again. Even though I know she can totally handle it.
It was the far (your left) back molar and ironically enough my cavity was in the same place.

We made it. Pretty smiles still intact.

Beautiful Day

It's been almost a week and half since I've posted. Seriously I'm not dead and really I haven't been busy, well not any busier than usual. I guess I've just been waiting for the blogging mood to hit me. I guess today did it.
Today was BEAUTIFUL! We had to go outside so we could more fully appreciate the sunshine and warmer weather. We called up a friend and headed out to soak in what vitamin D we could get.


Double Take but really that is Abby looking at the camera and looking quite ducky...
I tried to get pictures of them standing on the steps but the 2 year olds weren't really in the mood.
Climb..Climb..Climb as much as you can You can't keep up with me with a camera in hand.
Whaaa that's right another picture of Abby looking at the camera with a smirk of a smile on. I think Abby would live in a swing if I let her.

Will loved the swings and was happy to get outside and eat some bark and whatever else he could get his hands on.


Seriously such a cute kid.

Twilight

I just recently finished the twilight series. For a more detailed reaction click here.

a fairy good halloween

We had a great Halloween. I took a lot of pictures and have selected the best of our night. Ok so this top picture of Abby... not so great but I guess you can see that she's a fairy. I couldn't get her to hold still for the life of me so any shot of Abby is a miracle. Although this picture reminded me of last years picture.



Snap do you see that??? That is me oh so prego and with short hair. Oh ya and Abby is like a baby not the reigning toddler that she is today.

Lizzie was a stinkin' cute stinkerbell wait check that tinkerbell. I totally had so much fun doing her hair and put enough hairspray in her hair to withstand a hurricane. it was awesome and looked great!


This is my very favorite picture of her though. I honestly feel so blessed to have a little girl that looks so great in lime green. Oh she's a doll.

Abby was a butterfly princess fairy. She really couldn't make up her mind all day and refused to stand still long enough to let me take a solid picture of her but here she is watching Lizzie's halloween parade at preschool. And the spoiler of Bootstrap Will.


Will was an excellent piarate. He was so stinkin cute and made all the sounds a piarate should make. He did pretty good keeping the hat and patch on and his mustache was going to be much smaller and curlier but he moves too much.

This is my favorite Will picture giving you an absolute perfect Rrrrrrrrrr. He even does this cute cross bite thing. Adorable! (I know piarates shouldn't be adorable but well what can you do)

These are a few of the cute things we did. This is a "Roasted Ghost" aka cheesy mashed potatoes and olives. The recipe called for black beans but I hate beans so I thought the olives would taste better.

Cute Jack-o-lantern sandwiches. The honey really makes it look all glowy like. We also made a fun life size skeleton thanks to 8 milk jugs and this website. They had so many fun kid friendly ideas for halloween. I highly recommened it for anyone wanting good holiday ideas. Anyhow it was a great halloween but we're even more excited for the upcoming holidays.

Pumpkin Walk

And thus everyone and their doggies have posted about Pumpkin: walks, patch, carving etc. So I'll toss my pumpkin in the ring, well Lizzie's anyhow. Lizzie's preschool entered a display in the Benson Grist Mill pumpkin walk and we had such a great time seeing everything. Ok check that I was sick and not really in the mood but Jeremy was able to come with us and help ease the stress of 3 kids in an unfamiliar territory around lunch time. Lizzie's class one best school display which was great.

These are Lizzie's car pooling buddies in a hay maze. They are such cute little girls.

Lizzie's pumpkin. It's Cinderella. I'm all about letting Lizzie do her own projects so I let Lizzie go to town on the pumpkin with spray glitter. It worked out so fun we did it to all of our pumpkins this year.

Trying to make the most of feeling yucky. Abby was sick of being lost and insisted on being held and brought out of the maze.

A picture of Me and Jeremy! No that was not photo shopped and thank goodness too. I think we would have lasted 10 minutes if Jeremy hadn't come along. Thanks Honey.
