Family Fun Friday ~ a bit different

I babysat most of the day - it was nice.

The little ones really took to the baby and we all sat around playing on the floor.

It's been awhile since we've done that.

Then after the 2 little ones went to bed C & I sat up,

I helped & watched as he made Birthday Presents for C (his GF).

A bit different but nice :)

Here's a pic of the final gifts - a set of shoelaces, a matching belt, handmade card

Positive Thinking Thursday ~ Yoda pt2

Well today Yoda went to a new home.
I know it sounds a bit odd.
He wasn't listed or posted anywhere.
I actually had an ad up "looking for the Original owner of...." on the same site I got him from.
Out of nowhere I get a message "I'm not the Original owner but I'd sure take him"
So after a few emails & a meet up, Yoda is on his way to a good home.
He's temporarily at one home, said sister of the new owner, next weekend the sister will drive Yoda down to Oregon.
He'll be on 35 acres in a home with no children, a nice new mama who knows he needs work & is willing to take the time to do it.

update on kids dental

J was quick & easy he only had the two appointments and he was done.
L we had to save the big chunk of mulla and today was the day.
We got to the Children's Hospital at 6:30 this morning, by 8 she was a bit loopy from the first liquid meds, at 9:25 the Dr came out & said all went well but they did more work than planned.
Eecckk!!!
Four crowns went on just to be safe and four fillings too.
After She started to wake things turned a bit, she ripped out here IV, screamed and kicked and wouldn't stay with the recovery nurse, they brought her out to me & she slept for about 5-6 mins.
She awoke again ate an iceepop then started to turn mean again, she was kicking, screaming, throwing.
We finally bribed her with another iceepop to get dressed & go home.
Since she's been home she's had all she can eat applesauce & yogurt, just now she had a bread roll. All has held down pretty good.
