Today I took Andrew and Annalyn to the dentist. No cavities for either of them (YEAH!)--- however the dentist had to tweeze out a piece of food stuck near Andrew's tonsil (it looked like a pustule). Poor Andrew nearly gagged and cried!
Before taking them back to school, I thought I would do something special with the four kids that I had with me, so I took them to get Happy Meals (which I rarely ever buy) at McDonalds.
They enjoyed eating lunch together-- just the four of them before heading back to school.
Dennis is such a sponge. He is constantly soaking up the activities going on around him and doing things you wouldn't necessarily see other 2 year olds doing.
He actually sat there with the kids for 15 or so minutes taking apart Legos. I bet he'll be building ships in no time!
For a Friday night treat, we had bowls of ice-cream with toppings. I even allowed seconds! Sveta chose strawberries to top her vanilla ice-cream.
William had chocolate ice-cream with chocolate sauce and Annalyn had a little of everything!
Rachel accidentally poured carmel all out on the counter when she turned the bottle upside down but failed to realize that the lid was cracked.
Since carmel is her all time favorite, she had no problem eating up her mess!
John is not feeling well. Remember that bug I had a few weeks back? Well, he has something very similar.

Tonight we spent alot of time cleaning. We moved furniture so that we could vacuum up the dust bunnies and I cleaned all of the blinds. While Rachel and I worked on her side of the room, Julia played us what she learned on the guitar with Adam tonight.

I love it that you, too, let your kids eat the spilled food off the counter! :-)
Looks like you all had a lovely Friday!
After years of parenting I still love our legos! The only toys that I still have from my first four children are legos and matchbox cars... love them... the rest can go in the trash. lol
Fun! Are you into summer vacation yet?
I'm glad Rachel had her caramel off the counter, because I think caramel on strawberries and vanilla ice cream would have been icky.
You appear to have such a happy household!
How the heck do you get your kids to play with legos?? My kids never ever want to play with legos, blocks, or anything else that needs imagination! They only like things that have directions and a beginning and an end (like Bionicles), then when they are finished, they throw them away because they don't know what to do with them! UGH!
Holy legos batman!!! Your little Dennis is a blooming flower! What a lovely post, fun times!
LOL! horray for carmel not going to waste!
I love the picture of Julia with her guitar. She is just raidant.:)
Love the liking the carmal up... I love reading about your family. You are such an inspiration.. You guys Rock :)
Love the picture of Rachel cleaning up the caramel mess.
Sveta's ice cream looks yummy!
Every time I see pics of Dennis, I can't help but think of what an awesome life that's been opened up to him. He always looks like such a happy little guy!
What a fun Friday!
I am going to send my kids your way where they are sure to have a blast!! ;)
(Especially with all of the ice cream and carmel!)
You guys always look like you are having so much fun at your house! What a happy place to be! Can I come over?!
Ok, now I want some ice cream... with strawberries, chocolate sauce, bananas, and sprinkles!
Looks like you had a fun and busy day :)
I absolutely love reading about your days just being together as a family enjoying one another. That's the kind of memories I try to make for my kids and hope they remember forever!
I'm glad to hear that Dennis was quiet, too. Grady is getting more vocal, but at first he would even cry silently! It was heartbreaking!
