The Dentist and Lunch

This morning we skipped the bus for school and loaded everyone in the car to go to the dentist's office. That's right all five in one day. This works great for me because they usually have two to three back at a time. The others just sit and watch cartoons or play with the toys.
The boys were very excited to miss the bus until they found out why. Then they were apprehensive until I explained that it was just check up time. That brought back the excitement because they knew that meant a new bag of goodies, i e toothpaste, toothbrush, chap stick, sticker and a bouncy ball (oh the joy). It was Annalyn's first appointment and I have to say she did really well. She laid there and didn't try to get away. She wasn't real kin on their hands in her mouth but she took it like a champ. Everyone passed no cavities (thank goodness)!!

After the dentist I took the boys back to school (ah bummer) just in time for lunch. Because we hit it so perfectly I decided to let Nic and Boo eat with their brothers. The two of they thought they were hot stuff. Annalyn needs a little more practice with drinking form the carton. She keep getting it down her chin and neck. We started out with Matthew and before we were done...
...We had Tuffer. What a bonus! to bad neither of them could hold still long enough for the picture. Annalyn was getting plenty of attention form the table full of little girls behind us.
It was a good preview of next year for Nic.
He can't wait to eat lunch at school everyday. Ah, the simple things in life. School lunch...huh.

P.S.- Please do not worry, that's not dirt on his face and we do not beat this kid. It's just Nic. Here is the run down of the bruises: Face-plant on the way to his chair in class (right eye), walking into a pole (left eye), fall over the back of the seat in the car (above left eye), scratch on from brother(right check may scar, that kid we did beat). BOYS.
