twinks go to the dentist!

The other night I noticed Sydney's back right molar was very discolored almost black. I tried to scrape it with a toothpick but I couldnt get away. I was thinking man arent we awful parents to finally notice something like that. We do brush her teeth every night and I hadnt seen it that color before. So I made appointments for the twinks first dental visit. They were very excited. I was filling out the paper work when the hygienist came out and asked me all the questions I was just putting on paper. I brought Rachel with me just in case one was more of a pain then the other. When it was time to go in the back to get their cleaning they grabbed the hygienist hand and said bye mom. I was like ok I'll finish up the paper work and go on back.
I went back and they were both being really good laying there getting there teeth cleaned. They had already gotten their xrays and they told me they were being very good!
They get to wear sunglasses and they have movies playing on the ceiling.
They both have weak enamel and their teeth are close together so we need to really work on brushing twice a day and flossing at least once. Poor Syds "black" tooth has to get a heavy sealant on it.
Courtney was a trooper through out the whole thing.
They each got to pick something out of the treasure chest and they each got a balloon, a toothbrush and a tee shirt. If they wear the tee shirt on their next visit they get to pick out 2 things from the treasure chest! all in all it was a great experience!

"I have to go to the potty"

The twinks have both been potty trained during the day for a couple months now. (Still working on the night time though.) Courtney has been pretty much since January and Syd April but they still have to run around the house looking for me to tell me they have to go. I just say "OK then go you dont have to tell me" and they go by themselves. I could be upstairs and they look everywhere to tell me even when they are sitting right next to the bathroom. Very odd!

dang birds

We have a pigeon problem...they love our pool and now that we put a roof on top of the play fort they love that. I dont mind the birds...it's the bird poop that drives me nuts!

Campout

The girls keep asking to go camping but now that the weather here is scorching the last thing Jon wants to do is sleep outside. Last night it was still in the 90's at 11 pm...not to comfortable to sleep in so we set up the tent in the house and it seemed to make them happy. The tent is a little to small for all three to sleep in so Sam slept on the couch. She was a little bummed at first and went upstairs to her room but decided that she did want to sleep on the couch after all. She was mainly bummed because she thought Jon and I were going to sleep on the couch too! It took a little bit to get them all asleep but they finally did...until midnight that's when they were up and down for most of the night. Jon said he went down 4 times and I went down once. At 4 am he went downstairs and the twinks were in the play room with the lights on coloring and just chatting away. Good thing those two dont share a room! When I woke up this morning Sydney was sleeping by the sliding glass door pretty much under the kitchen table, Sam was happy in her spot and Courtney was in her bed (she went there at 4 after Jon caught them partying) Kinda freaked me out since she was no where to be seen.

I am ready to try real camping for a night maybe this weekend...it helps that I wear ear plugs...we are suppose to go for a few nights when we are in WA at the end of the month too!

FUNdue

When I was a Nanny we use to have fondue a couple times a year and Jack and Emily loved it, they called it FUNdue. So tonight we introduced the kids to the lovely world of chocolate fondue! With Strawberries, cantaloupe, marshmallows and peaches! YUMMO!

it's hot

Now that the weather is HOT our days will now be spent cooling down in the pool. The po a nice 84* right now so it's pretty nice floating around! Sydney pretty much has the swimming thing down but Courtney has absolutely no desire whatsoever to get rid of a floaty. I try and try to have her practice but she screams and gets out of the pool and says "I no like it" I know eventually she'll get it but man I wish it was sooner rather then later!

purple pancakes!

Since Courtney and I love the color purple I decided to make purple pancakes last weekend!
