February break

The kids had school vacation the same week, so my mom came out to help.  Thank goodness for her.  We had lots of fun and it was a busy week.  We got a new dishwasher, Jim was diagnosed with pneumonia, and the kids had a dentist appointment.  Jim was doing great by the end of the week and is totally fine now.  The kids were fantastic at the dentist.  It was Seamus' first time and he was a total champ.  He wasn't shy at all and opened wide when asked.  He let the hygienist and doctor poke around in his mouth, and stick the mirror in there.  He was happy as a clam sitting in the chair and watching the cartoons they had on.  Eve was much more guarded (but still good).  She made a face when the dentist painted on the fluoride and he said, "I know.  It doesn't taste good."  Then he told Seamus to open up and painted the fluoride on him.  Seamus rubbed his tummy and said, "Mmmm.....good!!"  He did so well that next time he gets to go "upstairs" for a longer and more technical appointment.  The hygienist said he was "amazing." 

Ignore the mess in the background, but focus on how Seamus is perched ON TOP of Jim. What a nut.
