Happy Birthday daddy!

My dad will be 62. The boys and I are planning a day out tomorrow and taking a trip to Walmart to get some roses and other items I need. Afterwards we're going to head off to my dad's grave. I love you Dad!! Miss you!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

adorable? Not the word to describe it....

If you think my children are adorable now, raise your hand................Ryan and Andrew were doing this instead of picking up crayons and school stuff. I was upstairs having a fairly important conversation with my mom.

But whether I was going to the bathroom or switching loads of laundry down in the basement, something like this or artwork of somekind would be displayed( I have to crack open the bathroom door now so I can hear what mister mischief Ryan is doing.). The other day Andrew decided he wanted to practice writing words of things. He wrote bathroom on the bathroom door, wall on wall, etc( think you get the picture) so he ended up washing it, of course, and then I gave him some pieces of paper and the tape and said here, write the words on the paper then tape them onto the object it goes to. Solved that problem. I'm sorry but 3 and 4yr age group is not an adorable age, they can be little heathens.

....But even with things like this happening, I still love them. They are still learning as am I all at the same time and life happens. It's what you do with the experience is the most important. Did you learn from it and if so what? What did you do right and what could you have done different? In this case did I learn something? yes. What? Not to leave Andrew's school bag out and leave the room. Right things? remained calm and didn't yell. Things differently? Put the bag down stairs in the basement once Andrew was done with it so to take away the temptation of getting his crayon box out and playing with the glue stick and scissors. One day we will look back at these pictures and laugh. Have a great week and hopefully not full of days like this.:)

The battle against cavities

Andrew and Ryan were getting ready for bed and I said hold on, I need my camra, kodak moment. The reason why my kids don't have cavities:
1. they brush there teeth
2. they don't eat very much candy
3. they don't drink very much soda pop
4. they have my good teeth. I grew up having flouride in my water and did the first three things throughout my life. I also use mouth wash to help strengthen the weak spots. And I saw the dentist every 6months unless we moved and had to wait for insurance to kick in then it was a year. I enjoy going to the dentist and now my boys do too! It took Andrew alittle bit longer but last time he did great. Somewhere I read that you can tell how healthy your body is by the health of your teeth. I think I read that in a health magazine at the doctor or dentist office awhile ago but I can believe that.
