Taft had a collision with his cousin. Her mouth was bleeding fortunately her teeth are all OK especially since they are her new permanent teeth. He had a cut on his head that he needed super glued shut. I think a cut on a boys head is apart of growing up (two down one to go). Isn’t it? I was a super wimp and Taft was a SUPER CHAMP. He didn’t CRY NOT at all NOT for one second NOT even through the doctor scrubbing the cut. Thanks to my sister in-law we made it through. The doctor had Taft smiling and laughing the whole time. He is INCREDIBLY GOOD. He kept asking Taft if a T Rex attacked him. Then told him that the purple super glue he used is Tyrannosaurus repellent. It was really cute. He gave Taft a green sucker then told him over and over that it was red. Taft kept saying “it’s GREEN”. Dr. Matthews took the sucker and examined it closely then told Taft it was red. Taft kept grinning and telling him it was green so the doctor took the sucker and put it in his mouth then told Taft he was right it is green. The doctor went to give Taft his sucked on sucker back of course Taft reached for it. The doctor laughed and pulled it away quick then gave him a new one. This Guy was meant to be a doctor. He has the touch. I am so glad he was able to see us. I really didn’t want to drive back to Logan with a wounded kid. Also I was shaking like a leaf but not my tough guy Tafty. He wasn’t scared or worried for a second.
These are really EASY and fast to make. I also made the boys bags for their homemade bows and arrows.
I haven’t had much time to sew lately, lots of babysitting. I have more fabric cut and ready to sew. Now just to find the time. I started a pillowcase dress. I am also trying out appliqueing for the first time, so far so good. I will post pics soon, I hope.
You can go to my Flickr page to see the pictures better. It’s under korbyblondieblueeyes. I have been so busy making skirts, legwarmers, dresses from old sweaters and towel wraps. It is so ADDICTIVE.
Who schedules a dentist appointment 7 months in advance for 9:00 am on the 5Th day of summer vacation?? I do that is who. I had to wake the kids up and PUSH them to get ready. The ghost living in our house snuck all the kids shoes outside and put them by the trampoline to get SOAKED in the pouring rain. OFF TO A GREAT START. Don’t you just love it when you were supposed to leave 5 minutes ago and nobody has shoes. I am not even sure if any of them even brushed their teeth before we left but they did brush well and floss the night before, does that count?
Taft said he had a pair of shoes in the car and was just going to put on Estee’s tap shoes until he got in the car and could put on his. So I said “fine”. I am in such a big hurry that I don’t check to see if Taft actually had shoes in the car. Here comes a shocker Taft had NO shoes in the car. It was still pouring rain out and he had NO choice but to wear them in to the office. The lovely little girl tap shoes are way to small for his feet so the backs are now squished down. (Isn’t that what brother are for?) He started crying as he got out of the car. I convinced him to stop by telling him that he could take them off in the dentists office. He slowly slid his feet along the sidewalk because they lost the ties that keep them on. It was quite the site. Also his allergies were in FULL force and his eyes are so puffy and red. It makes me sad to see his sweet little puffy eyed face.
We get there 4 minutes late (I HATE BEING LATE!!!). The kids only had 3 minutes to play in the play area which to them wasn’t close to long enough. I noticed when the kids were in the play area that the soles of Halston’s shoes were different. Ya, I said different which happens when you are NOT wearing a matching pair of shoes. They were both black slip ons with crazy white designs so I didn’t even notice until we were there. Truthfully, I would NOT have changed anything we were in too big of a hurry. Adler had on jeans a hooded sweatshirt and flip flops with filthy feet. Obviously we haven’t found our summer groove yet. I hope we find it soon. Estee had on white tennis shoes that were 2 sizes to big. She looked like an adorable clown. I don’t even want to know how many pairs she has under the trampoline. She has more pairs of shoes than me and I wish I was kidding.
We got in and started the cleaning and x-rays. Estee jumped right up on the table and opened her mouth. That has NEVER happened before. A MIRACLE, SERIOUSLY!!! I am so proud of her and she knew it. She kept asking on the way home ” Was I good?”
The boys all got their teeth cleaned without a problem but they have always been good at the dentist.
So we got great reports with the exception of 1 cavity in a permanent tooth. I was so GRATEFUL to her the 1 and so bummed to hear permanent. Now to go back for a filling. The office was well aware of our state too. A tiny bit embarrasing but I am NOT perfect. I just hope they have seen worse. They tried to convince Taft to give them a show but he was too embarased. It was a good laugh and a funny memory.
So we were home by 10:00 and started in with the I am SSSSOOOO Hungry. So I started to make an early lunch to have a helper break a glass all over the floor. When Hall and Taft came down to eat they were wearing different outfits. Like I need more laundry, like the giant heaping mound taking over the laundry room needs to grow any bigger. I am pretty sure Taft changed his clean shirt for a dirty one. KIDS!?!
I’ve just got to keep singing the song “Memories” to myself knowing that I will miss these stages. I love my little monkey kids. They are so much fun in their craziness.
Now if we could just get rid of the ghost. I can’t imagine him moving on when everyday is an adventure at our house. It is time to welcome him to the family and name him. In keeping with the house’s previous name we will name him Miller. We all know that my kids are perfect little angels that never do anything wrong so the only explanation of all the mischief around here must be Miller. Miller Our Family Ghost.
It has been one year ago today that I had my Hysterectomy. I’m glad a year is gone. Look Forward to better health, more energy, making more memories and having a lot more fun.
I made this birthday crown and yoga bag from a pant leg yesterday. I LOVE quick and easy projects. The best thing about this yoga bag is that it has a pocket for keys.
