We are READY!

This morning as I was crawling out of bed at 6:30 I was kicking myself for making Dentist appointments for all 3 kids at 8:30. But... we have been working on our bedtime routine so the kids had all gone to bed early and were great about getting up and out the door.

The dentists went great! No cavities!!! With 3 kids you can imagine how it might be hectic (like I think it will always be) but we take them to a pediatric dentist who is great & totally geared for Kids (duhh!). All three kids get called in at the same time and there are 2 huge exam rooms with about 8 tables that look like surf boards in each one. Between the two is a huge game room full of video games and then there are toys everywhere so your kids can play once they are done or waiting for something. All the kids got examined at the same time and we were out of there in less than an hour! The Dr. took one look in Annie's mouth and said you better start saving up for her braces and then when it was Charlie's turn she told us that at his next appointment they will do a special set of x-rays and then refer us to an orthodontist because his teeth are really crowded and his top incisors won't be able to come in with out some help from braces!

After the dentist we stopped at Sam's club and got all the food we need for school lunches (capri suns, small water bottles, granola bars, snacks, massive box of sandwhich bags, etc,) then we headed to Target to pick up the last few items we needed like socks to wear with closed toed shoes!

I am happy to say though that everything is checked of my list to get done before school starts. We have a fun and semi-relaxing next few days planned. Tomorrow is Back - to - School night for John & I and then on Friday the kids get to go in the morning to meet their teachers. We have friends and play dates planned for the next few afternoons and a family dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's on Saturday. Before we know it Monday morning is going to be here!
