Global Warming

I love fresh produce. It's so much tastier. I do my best to find it on sale so it's not really hard on the budget. However, this turn of events may have changed that possibility. I'm sure a lot of people will blame it on global warming. What a bunch of baloney I say.

The dentist

Marie and Peter had their first visit to the dentist. I called to make them an appointment and the receptionist said, "Well, we have an opening this morning." I took it.

I didn't have high expectations for their cooperation. They surprised me! They tried as hard as their little two-year-old hearts could. They weren't quite sure about biting on a film to get an x-ray. They did it anyway. Marie even said, "NO!" when I told her it was her turn to sit on the chair. However, once she was up there, she was a sport and was cooperative.

Then, it was time to get their teeth cleaned. I knelt next to them and held their hand. Peter even started to cry, but he held still and was cooperative. They let their displeasure be known, and yet they still did their best to be cooperative. What troopers!

They thought the stickers they got and the new toothbrushes were the best. After all, what's cooler than a toothbrush with Tigger on it?

Ways to make food taste better

Have your sister make it for you! Yea!

I work most Saturday nights, and so I'm really not motivated to make dinner on Sundays. I sleep for a few hours and then wake up to go to church. My energy and motivation levels are a bit low. I know in a lot of people's homes, Sunday meals are the BEST. Well, in my house you're lucky if I MAKE dinner after I work.

My sister was feeling sorry for my plight of kids not wanting to eat what I cook and my not wanting to cook after working, and she made dinner for my family!

How fabulous is that?!
