Dentist and Kindergarten picture

I took the kids to the dreaded dentist yesterday. I was wishing the day could hurry up and be over. I had no idea how I would try to control Ben while Abi was getting her teeth cleaned and if either of them would cooperate at all. I envisioned crying and struggling and feeling stressed. Why do I always think the worst? Anyway, it turned out to be the best visit ever! The dentist (Larissa referred us to) was awesome. The check up room is like a big open living room with lots of dentist chairs, benches for the parents and TVs in the ceiling. Each kid got a chair right next to each other, and there were more kids in other chairs all in the same room. The hygienists did both kids at the same time and they could see that they were both doing the same thing together. They both got there FIRST real cleaning, and Abi voluntarily got x-rays. No cavities and their teeth looked great, the dentist was super nice. Finally, yay! Made my week. I was so happy that they did so good that we went to Toys R Us and they got a special toy.

 

We got Abi's school pictures in the mail! To start off I'd like to say I didn't think there was anyway in h-ll she would get her picture taken, in the past it's been a struggle so I didn't bother ordering any and told her she didn't have to get her picture taken if she didn't want. So of course she did get her picture taken and I had to do an online order. I was at work when Brad got the pictures in the mail and when I asked him if they were good, he said "um yeah". Which I think means kinda good? When I got home from work I cracked up a little bit because I know what he meant, she looks so cute and funny. See what I mean-

 There will come a day when I have to break the news to her that in our family when it's picture time, chin out. We were not blessed with small heads and skinny necks, LOL.

I got out of the shower today and saw this baby deer hanging out just on the other side of our fence in the backyard. I suspect it was eating the rotting pumpkins I tossed over there. Can you tell I'm obsessed with the deer, I love the wild life so close to home!

Little buddy bossing Maggie around, they are buds.

Being cute and stubborn as usual.
