Happy Sunday to You!

Bet you didn’t know this…

The amazing things we learn from Kris!

Like it is impossible to eat six saltine crackers in under a minute.

Here we are getting ready to test this and then failing!  :)

Teeth and Chocolate

When we were taking Bella to the nursing home, I broke a tooth on a chocolate chip in a DQ blizzard.  On December 30th, I finally had time to go in and get it looked at.  One root canal and 2 crowns later, I am still wearing the temporaries. 

Then 2 weeks ago when I took the kids to the Children’s Museum, I broke a tooth on a chocolate chip in a chocolate chip cookie.  Today I made it in to the dentist.  This time I only needed to have 2 teeth rebuilt – no root canal! 

My dentist recommended I give up chocolate chips and start eating nice, soft chocolate cake!  A dentist that recommends chocolate?  What a good dentist!

Zoo Day!

Because of Martin Luther King Jr Day, the girls had off school.  Kris took them to the Houston Zoo!  Sammi and I stayed home and finished her schoolwork for tomorrow – she did not have today off.  Trouble with having kids in multiple schools!  :)  Sammi was OK with it, though.  She knows she gets days off that the other girls don’t get.

Looks like they all had fun!  One funny – Kris and Becca told me that when Joy saw the cheetahs, she signed “cat” and said, “Hi, kitty!”  Cute! 

Another Week, Another Post

 

It was so cold in Houston – that is solid ice in my bird bath!  I’m glad the horrible cold spell is over.

 

 

 

The kids at the park

   

Guess who learned to ride a two wheeler?

Then on Thursday night we went down to the Children’s Museum.

Look closely that’s Jon Howard!  We ran into the Howards at the Museum. Surprise!

       

I loved this series of Joy!  She’s growing up so fast!

 

My girls as TV reporters!
