A Busy Day~UPDATED

Today marked the six month anniversary of the children's last teeth cleaning.  That meant we were headed off to the dentist bright and early this morning.


By bright and early, I mean their appointment was at 10:30 am.  Yes, for me that is early!  :-)  They all received great reviews!  Good brush-ers all around!


T met us at the dentist and then he had to race home to meet the electrical inspector.  The children and I stopped to pick up some lunch (what is it about the dentist that makes one hungry) and then headed home as well.


We were able to eat together and then it was "back to school" for the day.  The children are attempting to get things caught up even as I type this.  


Did I mention that it is the 9th week of the 3rd quarter?  Yes, sir, it is.  Which means, I really should be working on school paperwork, reports and report cards.  Instead, here I sit writing this post.


After all, I am already a day late with our word of the week.  Here is this week's word.

You girls are hilarious!  I loved reading your comments!  Thanks for playing!




I'll be waiting to see what you have to say. Have a great Wednesday.


After all, the week is half over!


Oh yes, we passed the inspection.  Only a few things to do for the FINAL inspection and then we can move into our new room!  Woo-hoo!

glad everyone had a good dentist visit. we will be heading back to the dentist in about 6 months - since the kiddies were just there 2 weeks ago. we must be on the same cleaning schedule as you all :)

congrats on your 3rd quarter. i hope you get all your paper work done. that's one nice thing about 1st grade - we really don't have a lot of paper work. although, i haven't graded a single test this whole week yet!!

Oh ladies your definitions are so good, I can't even compete with coming up with one. :) Plus I'm on vacation so I'm required to not think. I've thought about cheating and looking it up but then that too would require effort on my going easy part.

Good job Handy Family & Momma for keeping up with your dentist schedule. It reminds me that when I get home I need to re-schedule mine. Had to cancel when I got the hand foot & mouth virus. That is if I can get home with all this snow and such. :)
