A Chipped Tooth

William was running in daycare and fell.  Then a friend fell on top of him.  The combination fall caused a bump on the head and a chip on the tooth. he chip of the tooth went unnoticed until I brushed his teeth at night.  So Today I had to find a dentist (which was long overdue).  and I brought him in.  they filed the tooth.  a fun experience let me tell you.  and we scheduled a follow up to get him and his sister cleaned. 

Evelyn's friends

Evelyn has some friends in the neighborhood that she loves to play with.  at first I called them the girls because I didn't know their names.  luckily for me they seem to like writing their names in chalk on the driveway as that is how I learned their names. Now Evelyn refers to them as "my friends, the girls C, M, and A". Tonight she saw them outside and we went looking for them after I started dinner but they had gone in.  I told Evelyn that if we hurried home and ate dinner maybe they would come back outside after we were done eating.  I finally convinced her to go in and we were eating dinner when the doorbell went off.   I went to see who it was and it was two of her friends.  She was so excited that her friends had come to see her but thankfully she sat back down to finish dinner with out a problem.  unfortunately by the time that her and J got back outside they were inside and J didn't want to go to their doors and see if they could come back out.  but they walked down to a different friend's house and she got to play there. Unfortunately she was sad that she missed her friends and started to cry in the bath.  Se was saying how she missed her friends and that she was afraid that she was never going to see them again - it was very sad.  (this is when dad pops in telling her not to cry (I hate it when he tells her that).  I finally got her calmed down by telling her that she could make them all I miss you cards. 

In other news my neck still hurts any time I am even a minute late in taking the IBU and the flexeral that I am taking at night.  I have been fairly successful in minimizing my picking up the kids however I had to pick up William and carry him down the street twice tonight.  so I should feel great tomorrow...

Memories - When are we going camping?

When we were 4 years old mom and dad decided to take us to stony brook (which is still a family favorite) for a camping trip with Grandma and Grandpa G. As good parents always do they tried to prepare us for the coming trip explaining that we were going to go camping and have lots of fun. We enthusiastically jumped on the band wagon and occasionally asking "when are we going camping?" Finally the big day came and mom and dad packed us into the car and we were off.  At the campsite we found Grandma and Grandpa waiting for us ready to play and do outdoorsy arts and crafts.  As we were playing Sarah pipped up and asked "When are we going camping?"

Every night I say I am going to blog...

Then every night I am either too tired or just blank on what to write.  tonight is no exception.  after listening to Evelyn and William cry and fuss all evening and Evelyn not cooperating with her bed time routine I just don't seem to have much left.  This past Sunday William jumped for the first time with both feet getting off of the ground.  Yesterday he went to the doctors for a well visit and had two ear infections.  He is now 33 1/4 inches and 27 lbs what a big boy.  he is such a love too.  He gives tons of kisses and likes to play the kissing game.  His favorite book is Go Dog Go!  ever since we went to see the play!

Ok that's enough random facts and disjointed thoughts for the night

April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Some how when we had our unseasonably warm weather in March I convinced myself that winter, mild as it was, is over.  Sure it got a little chilly  but it was not so bad.  yesterday my father told me that it was going to snow and I didn't believe him and promptly forgot about the forecast of snow.  when I woke up this morning what do I see on the ground but snow. Yuck!

Evelyn was of course excited to see the snow and wanted to go play so we had a hard time getting her into the car.  After school however she got to make a snowman with daddy because unfortunately the snow had not melted yet (sadly I did not get a picture of the snowman). 

Evelyn is patiently waiting for Uncle Pat's birthday cake at the empty table until everyone was ready.  She didn't want to miss it.  She enjoyed every bite then after her shower she tried to convince me that she hadn't really wanted it so she should be entitled to another treat - a chocolate treat.

The Musium

Today was a great day to go to the museum. They ended up doing a reading of Evelyn and William's favorite book "Go Dog Go" See William below sitting mesmerized on my lap (I just need to figure out how to turn the photo)...

The two dogs that did the reading

Even mom got into the spirit of the museum of play! Go Mom Go!

I sat out the merry go round this time how everyone else had a great time even if they got dizzy!
