Big Kids

Summer is coming to an end, and we are all ready for school to start. John's 1st day is tomorrow and the girls start on Monday. I'm hoping to get out tonight to pick up a first day of school outfit for John. I also need to find his other tennis shoe which seems to have been missing most of the summer since he has been wearing flip flops.


John made his bi-yearly trip to the dentist and was pleased to find out he has 20 teeth, just like he guessed. I was pleased that there were no cavities. He sat very well and the only issue we had was the dentist put mint toothpaste on the brush without asking what flavor John wanted. He hates mint so he kind of freaked out when it touched his mouth. The dentist even had to get a new toothbrush out because John said he could still taste the mint even after it had been washed off multiple times.

We had a few "big" birthday celebrations in the last few weeks. Mike turned 30 and his sister turned 40 within a week of each other. For Mike's birthday we had a weekend at the Lake sans kids. For Lin's we went to Grandpa Bud and Grandma June's house for dinner. The kids had fun playing with all their cousins. They also loved feeding the fish in the little patio pond.


Last weekend the girls ended their stay in cribs. We had a few climbing out incidents, so out came the toddler beds. They have been doing pretty well in them. Rebecca will stay in hers. Even when she wakes up in the morning she will just sit in bed and wait for someone to come get her. Natalie is needing a little more reminding about staying in bed. So far she has ripped down the window shade, poured sunscreen all over the floor, and emptied out the closet. Ugh.

cute beds and even cuter little girls in the beds! you have such funny kids! =) why am i not surprised that john still could taste the mint on his teeth after they were rinsed several times? i'm guessing the toothbrush helped... lol! and how awesome that rebecca still stays in her bed even when she wakes up! i sure hope natalie doesn't rub off on her sister...two of them could be double trouble! =)
