Will was skipping around downstairs singing "we're off to see the wizard" and Dane was skipping behind him repeating "Rosco sees a lizard".

I'm sorry...does it get any CUTER than this!?  Both boys went to the dentist yesterday.  It was Dane's first trip into the Big Kids Room.  He got special shades to wear while she had the bright light on his mouth.  He enjoyed Octonauts during the cleaning.  :)  The hygenist asked him if he brushed his teeth every day.  He said yes.  She said how many times a day?  He said "Saturdays and Sundays" :) 

Will loves going - gets to hang out and watch TV.  They did a full set X-Ray of his mouth and it was really something.  You can see all his teeth (minus the one he lost, and plus the 2 6-year molars that are just coming in on the bottom)  You can also see all of his permanent teeth up in his gums, waiting to come in - including his 12-year molars!  It was pretty wild.  His little jaw is crammed full of teeth, that's for sure.  Very cool to see.   He did great as always. 

 

Our tree looked especially beautiful tonight with the moon coming up over it..

Fall Folaige Festival was this past weekend.  Will rode this ride for the first time - it was always called the Round Up when I was a kid.  I couldn't believe he loved it so much!  I managed to get the top picture right when he was going over the top.  :) 

Wills first sentence. :)

I was looking through Wills September math journal and found this guy hanging out....wearing his IU shirt:). That's my boy!

Thursday nights are football practice for Will.  Practice is at 6:30 so by the time we get home it's often close to 8...too late to start dinner in my opinion.  So often times we will eat early but then by the time we get home they're hungry again.  So we've gotten in the habit of eating an early dinner and then going to get ice cream or a frosty after.  I The boys love it.

Last night we ate our chocolate ice cream on the way home in the car.  They were both dirty chocolate-y messes when we got home.  They walked in the door and went straight down to the bath.  I went and changed my clothes and washed my face while they played for a few minutes in the bath.  I heard someone crying.  I figured it was over a toy or one of them splashed the other or said I'm not your friend.  I went downstairs to investigate and found my youngest sitting on the floor sobbing a defeated sob and trying to separate his hands, only to have them connected by a ton of strings of gum.  I don't know how the child managed it, but apparently he had gotten a piece of gum when we were getting out of the car and who knows how, but when he tried to throw it away I can only imagine it got stuck on a finger, he tried to unstick it with another finger which got stuck, and so on and so forth.   I couldn't help but laugh at poor little Dane while I said don't move and went to get my phone.  Maybe I should have felt bad that I made him sit there a little longer, crying, while I captured the moment, but I didn't.  I took full advantage of being able to hit home my point of why we keep gum our mouths.  :)
