OH TRAP!

The other day we were in the kitchen making popsicles. Samuel ran over and grabbed one off the counter without realizing they weren't frozen! Juice landed on the floor and we heard Abigail say "Oh Trap!" Samuel and I both started laughing and said, Abby what did you say? "Oh Trap, Mommy....Samuel made a big mess." hahaha

Dentist

Back in November when I took the kids to the dentist (Ashburn Children's Dentistry) I was told Samuel had 2 possibly 3 cavities that needed to be filled. Ugh! When I called our insurance company, I realized we were going to an out-of-network dentist and decided to hold off until I could find one that took our insurance. Fast forward to March (yes, I know I waited a long time) but guess what? The dentist looked at his x-rays and even took their own just to make sure and.....NO CAVITIES! I am so thankful that we changed dentist.

Smurfette

See what happens when I leave Miss A unsupervised for a few minutes. I ran upstairs to help Samuel get ready for school. When we left her at the kitchen table she was coloring in a "My Little Pony" coloring book and when we returned this is what she looked like!! Samuel laughed hysterically and said "Abby, are you trying to look like a smurf...you look just like Smurfette." Hmmm, guess I learned my lesson. The paint has now been moved to the top of the closet!
