No cavities!

Many plans for the next few weeks. Lacey's birthday was last Friday and Lily's is coming up on Sunday. We're having a joint birthday party on Friday. Next year we will most likely have two separate parties as they are getting older and have totally different personalities. We always celebrate their actual birthday on the day by letting them chose the dining place for dinner and an activity. Lily is undecided about her birthday dinner but would like to play miniature golf for her activity. Granny gave them $50 each to spend and tomorrow I am going to take them to a place called The Lazy Squirrel. They sell WebKinz and have a buy one get one half off sale going on.

Yesterday the girls had their dental check-up. No cavities! Although, Lacey did have three of her bottom baby teeth pulled. The x-ray showed that the adult teeth were still in the same position as 6 months ago and pulling the baby teeth would help the adult teeth grow in normal and straight. She wasn't in pain, they numbed her really well and the numbness didn't wear off until late last night. She wanted to eat Apple Jacks for breakfast this morning and that went well so hopefully she will remain pain free. Lily was able to have her retainer removed. It was placed 4 years ago to help her bottom teeth become aligned so she will never need braces. She was very happy!

Next Monday, Lacey has an appointment with her optometrist. She is in need of a new pair of glasses and some of the frames are so cute! I really like the Vera Bradley frames, but Lacey gets her pick.

We're STILL waiting on report cards to come in the mail. Lacey's progress in 2nd grade was tremendous during the last quarter. The first three were not so great, but I am praying they place her in the 3rd grade. She has one-on-one throughout the day and she is very smart WHEN she focuses on the task. I don't like medicating, because all of the medications we have tried have side effects that are very apparent. Weight loss, lethargy..constipation. I am impressed with our new school system and have faith that they will help Lacey learn and grow to the best of her ability without the need for meds.

Today, we are just hanging out at home. Going to try a new recipe for Italian Spinach Meatballs for dinner and then work on the garden, the weeds are taking over :)
