The Dentist

I hate going to the dentist, which is why I don't go(I have no trouble with my teeth and I like it like that).I will go for the occasional cleaning :( On the other hand, G doesn't seem to mind at all. He has been twice in the last few weeks to have teeth pulled, of his own choosing. You see, his baby teeth will not come out. It is like they are bolted in. They refuse to let go. So, this creates pain because his permanent teeth are jockeying for that same space. He is so brave, he goes in jumps in the chair and tells our dentist, numb me up! She says he is her best kid patient ever. No tears, screaming, or kicking. I'm so proud of him! He is such a trooper. 3 down and very possibly 3-4 more to go!

First Snow

Our first "snow" was December 12, 2008. As you can tell by these pics it wasn't much but the drive to work that morning was really pretty. The weather man is saying we will be getting more this Tuesday. I hope he is right :) but after talking to my favorite sister in law and having her tell me about the snow and ice they have I really feel guilty wishing for snow.

These were taken outside the Post Office where I work. The sun was just starting to come up. The pics really don't do justice.

The Boys!

Christmas Cookies

I know it's a little late to be talking about Christmas but I just have to post this. Now that I have figured out how to post my pics again since I can no longer do it from where I was posting them from. That's another story!!! It was Christmas Eve at our house, and to say the least it was a bit crazy. I was in the kitchen trying to get a head start on Christmas Day when number one son came in. He sat down at the table and said, Mom, do you remember when I was little and we made cookies every Christmas Eve together? In my scurry I replied, Yes I do. I didn't stop what I was doing, and then he said, Can we do that tonight?, just like we did when I was little. Number one son will be 23 years old this summer. At that point nothing else seemed important, we made cookies. Looking at the picture I can still smell the warm chocolate melting. It was a great Christmas Eve, and Christmas morning was so special because as I looked at both my boys there was warmth in my heart that they will remember their childhood when they grow up, and that they had fun making a mess in the kitchen. So much so that they might even want to do it when they are 23!

Winter???

I guess winter is here. It's in the twenties here, COLD!! But Thursday is suppose to be the worse, with the low being 2. I just want some snow. Maybe we will get that in May :<)

Time to Catch Up!

It has really been a while since my last post. Things have been crazy busy! But now things seem to be slowing down so hopefully my blog will stay current.

Sick :(

Nothing like a sick child. G has been sick since Tuesday. School was out on Monday, on Tuesday morning when I woke him up he didn't want to get out of bed so the fight started. After coming down stairs he was crying and whining that he felt bad. I said, sorry you are going to school so quit crying. After a few more minutes passed and he wasn't eating his breakfast I noticed his eyes were red and so were his lips....I looked for a thermometer, found several but the batteries were dead, so I called my best friend and she came to the rescue. Yes, his fever was over 101, so I felt like the really bad mom, no Mother of The Year awards here. Needless to say, we were in the Dr's office, he is on meds, and is still running fever. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I had rather be sick than see him sick.
