Dentist visit

Last week Paige had her first Dentist appointment. I tried to play it up, she was excited to go get her teeth counted and loves getting "pretty teeth" (ie brushing her teeth).

Well, she sat on my lap on the big chair. They let her pick out a Thomas the Train sticker. Gave her a new Pooh toothbrush, kid's toothpaste, and floss, all in a special zip up plastic pouch.

Then in walks the dentist and she won't open her mouth. They looked in mommy's mouth, counted mommy's teeth, and she saw how easy it was. But she wasn't falling for it. She wouldn't even say a word, because that would require opening her mouth.

We leave, climb in the car, and she won't shut up. So excited about her new teeth brushing supplies. Has to take her pouch into the dollar store, and insists on brushing and flossing while sitting in the cart. Thanks, kiddo.

Welcome Strawberry!

We're thrilled to have found you!

Cupcakes and Bowling

We decided this year for Paige's birthday to combine two of Paige's loves: Cupcakes & Bowling.

Despite it being at a bowling alley, I tried my best to make it pretty.

I incorportated Paige's favorite treats into cupcakes - chocolate chip cookie dough, oreo, and sour patch kids

Somehow it took us an hour and a half to bowl one game each!

Then it was time for cake and ice cream!

Shelby and Berkeley were on hand to help with unwrapping the presents.

Berkeley enjoyed the ladybug pillow pet.
Happy birthday Paige!
