Brush brush brush


Last week Liam and Kai had their first dental appointments. I was a little nervous that Kai would flip out but he did really well. He just requested a normal toothbrush instead of the “spinning one.” Liam loved the whole experience, especially the TVs that are in the exam rooms! C’mon, they did not have this stuff when I was a kid! The great news is that both boys are in the No Cavity Club! And ironically, they received tokens for free sugary ice cream from Culvers. Kai was able to eat his that night. Liam had a bad cough that day. After giving him some cough medicine, he zonked out at 5pm and slept all night. I was waiting to blog about the dentist until we took Liam for his ice cream but that hasn’t happened yet. So no pictures of him with his ice cream. The boys love brushing their teeth and have been known to have complete meltdowns if we try to put them to bed without brushing their teeth.

The next day the Tuckahoe Tribe was invited to swim with the McAllisters. Liam was the only one of our kids brave enough to get in the water. Well, with the exception of Evangeline’s brief first swim. I think she liked it 🙂 She seems to love the water. The other boys do too, whenever they feel more in control of the situation.

Hopefully these boys get their water legs before our September vacation!

Cow Appreciation Day


Two posts in one day?! I know. Just wanted to share my pictures from cow appreciation day. I’m always really bad about getting pictures of our family when we all dress up. So these are the best I have. I did a little photoshoot with Evangeline for the contest on Chick-fil-a’s website. Not likely that she’ll win but it was fun anyway. I tried the chargrilled chicken club or something. It had bacon and cheese on it. Not impressed. I’m trying really hard to enjoy grilled chicken. I think the wrap was better when I tried that. Oh well! At least it was free!

I was asked if the boys were triplets tonight. That’s a first. People are always asking if Liam and Kai are twins but I’ve never been asked about triplets. To be fair, Kingston’s back was turned to her and he was standing on the chair. The boys were sitting. And she was a sweet old lady so I didn’t make fun of her for the mistake 🙂

It was hard to choose which picture to use for the contest. I narrowed it down to 14 but I ended up using the one below. (I started with a couple hundred! Yikes!)
