Time to see the Dentist!

Last week the trio had dental appointments.  We took them at 2 years old, just to see the place and get into the seats and a very quick look to make sure all was well.  They went again in Oct after they turned 3 and it too was also a very short visit.  Now at 3 1/2, this was their 1st actual cleaning appointments!  Our dentist has 3 hygenists so we were able to book 3 slots all at the same time!  The kids did great and really enjoyed the visit!  The hygenists were able to let the kids relax and talked to them and explained all the tools.  The kids each got to pick out flavors for polish and floride.  Jess and Will did well sitting by themselves and Logan just had to have me hold his hand the whole time!  They each got a treat from the treasure box along with new toothbrushes and toothpaste!  Will and Jess were cavity free, but I have to take Logan back on Mon to have a very tiny cavity repaired.  All in all I was so proud of  them and they were proud of themselves! see-

Dave's New Toy!

Dave has been riding a motorcycle to work whenever he can since he bought it in Hawaii in 2001.  Last fall he took a spill and totaled the bike.  He was unhurt, but the bike was not worth repairing being as old as it was. He had been begging for an upgrade anyway, so this spring I let him start to look around and price what he wanted.  He found this 1995 20th Anniversary Goldwing from a dealer in MA. It was in our price range and in excellant condition!!!  It is a much bigger bike then the Honda Shadow he had, but he is thrilled!  I too will admit that this bike is a much more comfy ride!  We are looking forward to enjoying it for many rides and many years! 

Can you say acting like a kid in a candy store?  LOL   I love you babe!

Happy Easter!

The crew really got excited about seeing the Easter Bunny this year. They were even more excited to color eggs and find their baskets and do an egg hunt today! I will let the pics tell the story.

 

The finished eggs!  They did a great job!

                                                The Easter Bunny brought lots of fun stuff!

The carnage after the egg hunt!  LOL

The weather was soo mice we got the kids outside and had fun!

A Birthday Post - whose bday? Mine!

Georgetown Cupcakes for my 39th birthday!  Thanks to the wonderful Roach family! I was soo excited to enjoy these!  They were super yummy and I did share - a few!  LOL

 Georgetown Cupcake is featured in the tv show DC Cupcakes which I love to watch every week.  Getting the cupcakes was a great start to my birthday weekend.  Dave let me sleep in on Saturday and then he and the kids surprised me with this-

Awesome!  We don't drink coffee, but love herbal teas, hot cider and hot chocolate.  Now when I have friends over they can have coffee without me having to make a fuss and I can have tea all within about 4 minutes!  I have loved trying it out the past few days!  My friend from church came over with balloons and we chatted for a bit, then the babysitter got here and Dave and I were out!  Rachael Roach was nice enough to watch the kids for us for a few hours.  It was amazing!  We went to a great seafood restaurant in Mystic, went to see a comedy show at the casino and walked around and talked for hours! It was definitely a great night! I have missed our couple time in the evenings while he is at work!  Sunday was a relaxing day and then dinner with our other favorite family the Boyers!  All in all a great birthday weekend! 
      However, Sunday night I woke up at 2am with a nasty headache and by Monday morning I was feeling awful.  I was achy, feverish and had a nasty headache and super sore throat.  Monday was rough, but Tuesday was even worse.  Now today, I am finally starting to feel more human again and ready to get back to working out and hanging with the kids!

This weekend the weather was nice enough for us to get outside and get some much needed yard work done! We got the kids little sets with shovels and rakes and they loved "helping" rake the big piles of leaves in the front yard.

That little pink person in the middle of that huge pile of leaves - would be Jessica in her jacket!  She sat in there and played for 1/2 hour.  We got the front yard done and hopefully we can tackle the backyard very soon if the rain stays away!
