His Royal Highness

Oliver has taken over Kat's doll bed. He loves it with his whole heart.

If Ali hadn't been home, sick from school...

...she couldn't have taken this great picture of my favorite feline and I taking a "cat nap" together.

(Ok, seriously. Luke wore this shirt today, during the middle of the tooth trama talked about further down in my blog. His shirt looked exactly the same after the water spilled out of his numbed-up mouth. Too funny)

Sibling Rivalry

My sister is the most amazing seamstress. I hate her for it. After getting inspiration from my SIL, Stacy, I made this blanket for Kat. Stacy has made like a million huge ones like this, but I am going to start out with three smaller ones. They are about 5.5' X 4'. A perfect little blanket for little kiddos.

The blanket is denim on one side and fleece on the other. It is warm and fuzzy :)

Stay tuned for Ali and Luke's!!!

Rejoicing over Lost Tooth

For those of you who see Luke regularly, you know about his freaky front tooth. You can kind of see the strange looking baby tooth there in the front. He has his two permanent front teeth AND that silly little baby tooth! Anyways, today is the day the dentist took it out, hurray! We love you, Dr. Roundy. Seriously, he is a great dentist if you need one.

His smile looks so much better. I am so happy it finally got taken out. I am not one to stress over baby teeth too much. I figured it would come out on its own. But, Dr. Roundy told me it would have NEVER come out on its own. Can you see the massively long root on that tooth?

We better go to bed so the tooth fairy can come....

Adding Insult to Injury

This morning, at 8 am, Luke had a cavity fixed and his lovely front tooth pulled. After an hour in the dental chair, I took him back to school. I am the room helper on Wednesday mornings, so I stayed in his room.

After about 15 minutes back at school, he had a little break down. Actually, it was probably mild shock. His teacher asked me if I wanted to give him an Advil because he kept saying it hurt. So, she got him an Advil and a cup to drink with.

This whole time, I am working with a group of 6 other students. The next thing I know, he is still crying and the whole front of his shirt is wet. When I asked him what the heck happened, he started crying for real.

"I couldn't keep the water in my mouth when I took the pill."

Poor baby. The good news is he is ok now and went back to have gym time.
