OpEn WiDe!!!!

Taylor and Trace went to the dentist yesterday, and my wonderful mother volunteered to take them!  I was a little worried about Trace, he had never been to the dentist, and lets just say that brushing his teeth could be considered aerobic exercise for me!  Picture Trace in a headlock, squirming, kicking his feet, screaming, biting the toothbrush, all while I try to clean up those pearly whites!  Taylor went to the dentist for the first time last fall, and she LOVED it (weird, huh?)!  I sent the camera with my mom and wished her luck…

Yes, that’s right, both the children were angels!  Both of them got their teeth cleaned, fluoride treatments, and examined, and Taylor also got Xrays.  Dr. Momen said that their teeth looked great, no signs of cavities!  For being such great patients, each kid got a lizard, sticker, and toothbrush!  We’ll see you in December, Dr. Momen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slippin' and Slidin'

Wow, was it HOT here in WV a couple weekends ago! It was over 90 degrees on Saturday afternoon! John and I had started on opening the pool Friday evening, and I was working on it a little Saturday afternoon, the kids were trying to get in - that wasn't going to happen, the water is COLD, but I figured it was totally warm enough for some sprinkler play.




Last year, the kids refused to use the Slip N' Slide (that I got for $5 on clearance), because the water from the hose was too cold, but that didn't stop them on Saturday. I will say that the water from our hose is cold - we have well water and our well is about 200 foot deep. So, we would let the water run on the Slip N' Slide for a minute, then shut it off for them to go down. They had a blast!

They also have developed some sort of obsession with worms. I don't know, so don't ask. Taylor names them and wants to keep them as pets - GROSS!!!!




Here is the video from the SlipNSlide - I will pre-apologize for Taylor's horrid noise in the last part!
