All is SWELL

Everything went great, and after a two hour nap when we got home, I have been just fine. (side note. . . it took the doctor 45 min longer than he thought it would take. . . I really do have stubborn teeth!) Gauze in the mouth is truly grossing me out.

But I am in good hands. Ainsley is taking GREAT care of me. Taking naps with me, or ON me really. I wanted Mike to take a picture, but it didn't cross his mind. He doesn't have blogging on the brain! She puts chapstick on my lips, and nose, and cheeks, and hair. She also likes to watch me drink, and dribble slim fast all down the front of me.

My PERFECT little helper!

Yes there will be nice pictures of my fat cheeks in the future. . . I know I have mentioned how much I dislike pictures of myself. . . why I would want to post these, is beyond me!

Not What I Bargained For

This morning, I went in for a routine cleaning, with a new dentist. My wisdom teeth have been bothering me, and I assumed she would give me a referral to a surgeon. When she said they were easy enough for her to extract, and would be done in an hour. No consultations, no anesthesia, I was all for it. THREE HOURS later, she still was working on the FIRST tooth. She said "I guess your bones, are denser than I thought they would be." I honestly thought she was going to break my jaw.

Next thing I know she is having me get into her car, and rushing me to an oral surgeon. Now I was wide awake, but really I think pain makes you loopy. . . so I was more than willing to go along with the flow. Plus what else could I do, she had all ready sawed my tooth into a few pieces.

The oral surgeon looks in my mouth, and x-rays, and says these teeth will not come out easily. You will need to be put completely under. So now I get to go in tomorrow for emergency extraction of my tooth, or pieces of it, and will have two other teeth taken out at the same time.

In the mean time I get to lie around at home in pain. And to think yesterday I thought I was in pain with infected gums around my wisdom tooth. That was NOTHING! Wish my luck, as I try to make it through the night. . . and I guess the next week. Darn my stubborn teeth! chipmunk pictures to come!

Big Orange Pumkin Farm

I have been debating about when we should make our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. Somehow in my mind pumpkin patches, shorts, and t-shirts just don't go together. But this morning we woke up to the PERFECT pumpkin patch weather. Score for us Mike had the day off of work! So we put on our jeans, and long sleeve shirts, and headed off to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. Lots and lots of fun, and lot's of pictures. Enjoy!

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE. . . Encouragement from a big brother to taste the hay!

Halloween Style

Today we worked on the letter E. Isaac's best written letter to date. Today's crafts have nothing to do with the letter though. Instead we worked on some Halloween Decor.

Hard at work.
Here is "Lincoln-stein" according to Isaac.


Ainsley got in on the action today too. Love the undies. . . for some reason her my little pony or princess panties don't cut it for her. She is all about wearing brothers instead.

Found this house and tree at Hobby Lobby, and then Isaac and Ainsley added some fun stickers.
I never posted last Friday's projects, so here they are. The letter was D. So we made a Dinosaur Mural. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture before Ainsley, started ripping the dinosaurs off.

Our color was blue. I drew ocean scenes on coffee filters, and Isaac painted them blue to find the fish.


To answer some questions. . . Most of the "projects" we do around here, come from my memories of elementary school. But sometimes I find ideas online, and then alter them so that they fit my needs. The beauty of the internet. So many wonderful ideas out there!

For Every Season

New season. . . time for new look.

man I hate being in front of the camera. . . I prefer being behind it!

One Will Never Do

Our nightly routine now includes taking the dogs on a walk. Nope, they aren't our dogs, but we sure love having them around! I am thinking that when we get our own puppy, one might not do. . .

Yes, Isaac walks Mayzie, the smaller of the two, and Ainsley walks Maverick, the big boy. Quite funny watching Ains walk Mav. She yanks, and yells out commands, while Mr. Mav moseys down the street, without a care in the world. Completely deaf to A.'s screaming.

Then little Miss Ains, stops to take a break, to pick the flowers. Every flower (weed) she sees, doesn't stand a chance.


And here is the Ice Man, big into wearing his clothes BACKWARDS. His shirt, shorts, and even his underwear are all on backwards. Gotta love the boy and his independence!

We are having fun with Mav and Missy around, but they sure miss Carter and Cash!
