Dentist

February 17, 2017

Dental checkups on Thursday and all looked great! This was Samantha’s first checkup but she has been to the dentist before for her mouth trauma. I guess she remembered that because, before we left, I was telling her how we were going to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned and she pointed to the ceiling and said “tv!”. Our dentist has tvs in the ceiling that play movies. Smart girl!

She clearly has good memories of the place because she just walked right in like it was no big deal and even let the hygienist pick her up and carry her to the chair!

She could not have been sweeter, cuter, or more well-behaved! Go Baby!

Spencer was having a bit of a tough time because he really didn’t think any of the toothpaste flavors were going to taste good. But, after a lot of convincing, he finally opened up and let her clean his teeth…

and didn’t fuss one bit for x-rays or Dr. Thomas. Thank goodness!

I took Spencer and Samantha in the morning and then took maxwell back up after school (Yes, I made 2 trips to the dentist in 1 day!).

He got a great report too! and everyone was in agreement that he’ll definitely need braces someday – crowded teeth in a small mouth! I know what that’s like! 😄

Grateful for healthy teeth!

Have a great weekend!

Thursday

February 16, 2017

It’s Thursday….thank goodness it’s no longer Wednesday! Robert and I both got hit with food poisoning in the middle of the night Tuesday and were pretty miserable all day yesterday. I can’t say food poisoning is what I wanted to get for Valentine’s Day! Thankfully the kids are all fine – they must not have eaten whatever took us down.

Before we got sick, the boys did get some good looking haircuts…

and even when sick I still managed to get Samantha looking cute for school in some polka dot tights!

and Robert and I both managed to get ourselves up to take Maxwell to his ENT evaluation.

After 7 cases of strep in 3 years and 3 in the last 6 weeks alone, he’s getting his tonsils out! March 1st is the date – say a prayer for sweet Maxwell! and bring on the popsicles and ice cream!

See you tomorrow!

Happenings

February 15, 2017

Around here lately…

Saturday mornings are spent at basketball and Maxwell is doing great. I’m so proud of how hard he hustles and goes after that ball! He’s a rebound machine and will dive to the ground to fight for the ball! Go #9 and Go Bucks!

Last Saturday I did an extended 5k at my gym and I’m putting it in here because I’m really proud of myself! ha! I’m not a runner but I completed it – we ran 6 half mile increments with mini-workouts in between each. It was tough but I’m so glad I did it! Here I am with my friend, Mary, who won in her division…

gym

Go us!  🙂

We’ve had unseasonably warm weather around here and it has been glorious! Last week we made it over to the park in short sleeves and bare legs….

Finally, look who now gets to sit facing forward in the car!

She stayed backward much longer than Maxwell (turned him at 17 months) or Spencer (I guess I didn’t post when we turned him?!) and I think she’s enjoying the new view!

See you tomorrow!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2017

Happy Valentine’s Day! I know I’ve got 3 little loves that are excited for the day…and were excited for yesterday because they all had their school Valentine parties on Monday. We made our Valentines again this year just like in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 and I thought they came out so cute…

valentines

Spencer’s was tricky – he really wanted a printed out dinosaur to color so I finally got him one that he colored and we cut out and glued it onto another card and then he added all the hearts! Maxwell did his all on his own, of course. I made Samantha’s. 🙂 Because Valentine’s Day is basically equal to Halloween in terms of candy consumption, we added treats to them. Spencer picked Skittles, I added gummies for Samantha’s, and Maxwell’s had Star Wars jelly beans (which I was very proud to find and had to go to 4 stores to get!)

Also, just so I remember, I did a Target gift card for the teachers.

I was the treat mom for Maxwell’s class so sent these chocolate dipped marshmallows. There is a girl in his class that can’t have gluten so this was the best gluten-free treat I could come up with. It doesn’t hurt that all my kids loooove marshmallows!

Samantha taste tested and approved!

The kids all came home with some fun loot…

Valentine Program

February 13, 2017

Happy Monday! Spencer’s school did a little Valentine Program and art show for the grandparents to come and visit (and give money!). It was super cute and I loved getting to see Spencer up on stage again! We got lucky and he had a little solo at the beginning so was front and center…

He was ready to shake those maracas!

valetnine

Well, until it actually came time to shake them! Ha! He was much better at tapping sticks and did great singing and giving me a thumbs up!

We were so glad Granddaddy and Lou Lou could make it up for the program!

Spencer was very proud of his art…
