Highlights of the week











monday i took brielle and blake to the eye doctor to find out that brielle needs glasses to read. tuesday was a semi annual trip to the dentist to find out that brielle needs sealants on her new molars and to think about an orthodontist we will need to see in the near future- all i am thinking is whether it is too late to trade her in for a cheaper model.

so anyways, after the dentist visit we went looking for glasses. i asked her what she had in mind as far as glasses went and whether she wanted pink or purple- her immediate response "no mom, i want brown and black- you know- natural colors"- uhh sorry- didn't know we were going natural at 7 years old. so i informed her that we were going to look at 3 places to see who had the best price and go from there. the first place we went was the private eye doctors where she would only try on the brown turtle shell frames and picked out a really cute pair for a possibility. so on to sears where again she was adament that she wanted "natural color" glasses- she found a cute pair of turtle shell again and the dr there explained that i could get 2 pairs of glasses for less than getting one at the previous place- doesn't take a mathmetican to know that this was a good deal so we settled on the initial pair she found here at sears- that was until she realized she could get two pairs. i asked her if she wanted two of the same or two different- needless to say we left with 2 pairs of hot pink- i guess that is the new natural color (lol)

on wednesday brad took brielle and blake to swimming and that allowed time for brady and i to hang out. we took a long walk and talked about everything in sight. when we came home i gave him a bath and settled in to do laundry. unfortunately brady had other plans- first he found a pair of blakes sports underware and put it on his head like a hat and ran around the house like a crazy man- couldn't help but to laugh which only encouraged more entertainment. When he finished with the "hat" he decided that the piles of clothes that i had created while folding the laundry would make awesome tunnels for his cars and trucks so as i folded the clothing he drove his cars through them- as long as he is entertained i don't care to fold the clothes mulitple times- huh!!! (pictures to follow once the computer decided to cooperate!!)

brielle is having her first girlfriend sleepover tonight- i couldn't believe it they asked to go to bed at 9:00- i hope this trend continues for future sleepovers

tomorrow we are going to the homecoming parade and each of the big kids gets to take a friend- i am looking forward to the fun!!!!

i will post more later...
