D-Day

D-Day = Dentist Day!

Saturday morning we headed to the dentist for checkups & cleanings for the kids.  Luke is an old pro now and actually loves going to the dentist.  In fact, when we walked in, he goes "Oooohhh it smells so dang good!"  I can't say I was thrilled to hear him use the word dang.  Neither Wally or I ever say that so I'm sure he picked it up at school or daycare, but I had to chuckle because who really likes the smell of a dentist office!

This was also Paige's first checkup.  And she did awesome!  Totally cooperated - way more than she does for us when we are brushing her teeth.

Both kids got great reports, which means mommy and daddy are doing a good job also :)

Luke did awesome!



Reclining!









Pretty teeth, pretty girl!

The Weekend

(a lot of phone pictures lately!)

We kicked off our weekend with a Friday morning dentist appointment for Luke.  He went a year ago with me and they just took some pictures of his teeth and looked at them.  Friday marked his first official dentist appointment - a cleaning and fluoride treatment.  Luke made me go back with him, but from that point on, he was great!  He did everything he was asked.  I had to tell him to close his mouth and swallow at one point because he was just leaving it open waiting for the hygenist to keep working.  He did so awesome and was rewarded with a prize and bag full of goodies - toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste.  He wanted to use the floss right away - ha!



Beautiful teeth (and eyes)!


After the dentist, we headed to the bookstore.  It was a chilly, gloomy morning so there is no better place than the bookstore on days like that!  This was Paige's first trip there out of her stroller.  She loved it, but I didn't love cleaning up after her in each section!









Both kids got a new book and shared a sugar cookie - they were happy campers!

After going out for dinner, we played some baseball and golf in the front yard and were joined by some other neighborhood kids - so fun!

Holding hands on the way to t-ball Saturday morning - love these two together :)



Luke's turn to hit and run the bases!






Luke put on a show for us.  I believe this song was called "Monsters Do".  I have no idea what any of the lyrics are!







It was so nice outside on Saturday so we enjoyed dinner on the deck and running around in our pajamas!









Sunday morning we were up bright and early to head to Milwaukee for Miss Kendall Paulsrud's baptism.  Dan blew up this awesome bounce house for the kids - it was a hit!  Paige enjoyed climbing on the picnic table and riding in the back of a toy pick up truck (while in her pretty dress!).  It was great to see everyone though and of course meet Kendall.

We got home about 4:15 and just did some relaxing.  We learned this weekend Paige can blow a whistle!  This is her go-to toy now!








And this is the way Paige wears sunglasses!



The night ended with Daddy being a jungle gym - that is pretty much how every night ends - ha!
