Busy Week and dentist time...again!

Kyle has had spring break this week. When I think of Spring Break things that come to my mind are:

1-Husband home all day

2- Nice warm weather

3- Bike rides, playing at the park, BBQs out on the patio

4-Spring cleaning the house

5-Lots of relaxing time

But that was not what was happening at our house:

1-Kyle still had work and decided to put in about 40 hours this week (leaving at 7:30 and getting home at 3:00). I am glad he was able to work though...so that isn't complaining, but still it wasn't that much of a "break".

2-Jantsen had school and I still had my training to do (same schedule for the kids and I at home. Not much felt different)

3-It was FREEZING weather. Highs in the teens and maybe the 20's.

4-Busy busy busy! We were busy this week. Getting stuff ready for me to go out of town, kids going to the dentist, kindergarten round-up, field trip at preschool...

5-We didn't get as much cleaning done on the house as I wanted, but...

We did have a lot of fun together in the evenings!! Going out shopping at toy stores, craft stores, bass pro shop, eating at the Amazing Pizza Machine, Famous Daves, going to Target (always an exciting time)!! So even though it wasn't the most traditional spring break, we still had a fun time together!

Kambryn went to the dentist for her first time. and she did GREAT!!! Oh my gosh, I couldn't stop taking pictures because I knew that Kyle wouldn't believe it if I just told him.

Kambryn is actually really happy in this picture, that is her over-excited cheeser smile! she loved this little stuffed...animal. I wasn't sure what animal it was, but she was able to brush this guy's teeth with the huge toothbrush. That was fun for her.

The hygienist asked Kambryn if she knew how to open her mouth, so she kept it open almost the whole time. Oh...she isn't my baby anymore. Look how old she looks!

Getting her teeth brushed with the big girl toothpaste while watching Little Einsteins. I couldn't believe how still she was sitting and that she let them brush her teeth.

THIS NEVER HAPPENS AT OUR HOUSE! She is usually screaming!

Kambyrn has a chip on her front 2 teeth so they wanted to get an x-ray of them. I was really nervous that she would push the little plastic thing out of her mouth with her tongue. But she opened her mouth up wide and bit down hard on it and did awesome. She sat on my lap and was excited to have the smiley face cover on her too.

The dentist was even able to scrape some stuff off her teeth! But only for about 5 minutes and then she was done. Not crying, just didn't want anyone else putting stuff in her mouth! I was so proud of her. She did great. I think that she was so willing to do all these things because she watch Jantsen go through it all last week. Gotta love the ginny pig older sibling for that!

Loving her prize bag! New toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, coloring book and a bracelet. Such a fun day for a kid!

Clean and Healthy Teeth for Kambryn!!

We decided that Jantsen was going to go to the hospital and be put under to get his cavities fixed. He is scheduled for Friday April 10th. We have to check in at 6:30am. That is early! But Kyle and I felt good about him being put under and having him have as little pain as possible. It should be a quick procedure. About a 4 hour stay at the hospital and then probably by that evening or next morning he should be back to normal. But it is always scary when your kid has to go through something, even if it is as little as putting a cap on a tooth. But Jantsen is a tough kid and I am sure he will do great!
