What We've Been Up To

The next few posts will show you what we've been up to in the last two weeks.  It has been really really hot so we have been trying to keep cool in any way that we can; even if it is going to the dentist for the nice air conditioning.

Actually Alyssa was complaining for a about a week of a sore tooth so I took her to the dentist and the culprit was thankfully not a cavity but a piece of popcorn jammed far into her gum.  Ouch.  I guess when I was flossing her teeth I was accidently pushing it further and further into her gum.  I felt awful but thankfully all is better now. 


While we were there, Lucas had his first visit to the dentist as well.  He did so well and was actually excited for the dentist to look in his mouth.  No tears at all......success.  His teeth look great; we are still waiting on his two year molars to be making an appearance which should be anytime now. 




The hot weather has caused us to buy Alyssa a bigger pool and it is getting a lot of use from Alyssa and all the neighbor kids.  Lucas likes to climb the slide but doesn't really like the idea of going down the slide into the water....maybe by the end of summer.




One afternoon I enrolled Alyssa in a cooking class at Superstore.  She went with some neighborhood friends and for three hours cooked up a storm.  It was a big hit.



When Daddy came home from Houston this last time he brought the kids cowboy hats.  I'm not sure where Alyssa got the idea but she was determined that Matt find her a pink cowboy hat from Houston.  Poor Matt had to go to five stores to find the perfect hat for Alyssa.  What a great daddy. 


We have also been spending alot of time at the park.  Our park has a program called the GreenShack.  We have two young ladies who are running our green shack and they are awesome with the kids.  A couple times a week we spend 3 -4 hours at the park letting the kids be entertained by these girls.  It is awesome.  Lucas loves them and follow them around wherever they go.  They play games, do crafts, play card games, play more games on the park equipment.  It is the best program ever.
