Cheesy

Sometimes, when the kids complain of hunger after they have brushed their teeth, we give them aged cheese, which is something their dentist recommended. The other night, Rachel brought everyone their cheddar and Michael got a little bit silly with his. I was getting ready for bed when he called for me to come see his mustache! Funny kid :)

An Eventful Day

Happy Birthday Heather!

(The candle is for one decade and yes, she does have a flaky mother who doesn't keep enough cute little b-day candles in the house.)

Heather's birthday was a busy day. Summer went to the orthodontist and had her bottom wire changed. We all loaded into the car and headed west. We went to IKEA for lunch and then all seven kids had appointments for dental checkups. It was Naomi's first time and she did well. The good news was that in all those seven mouths full of teeth, there were no cavities.

Heather wanted chicken and dumplings, artichokes and German chocolate cake for her birthday. We didn't end up eating the artichoke (they were $2 each, so we all shared one) and cake until her birthday was almost over...

(that's p.m.)

because...

Stan and I spent most of the evening with Kelly in Urgent Care waiting for her to get her stitches and glue.
