Just what I needed

I had to have a dental crown today. (Beware your old silver fillings!) By the time my two hours in the dentist's chair were over I felt like I'd been punched in the face. About 5 times.

As I sat watching the boys eat dinner tonight I just felt yucky. I slouched in my chair and said, "Sorry guys, mommy's just not feeling great right now".

Nicholas looked at me up from dinner and simply said, "Boiler ache?" (pronounced "boyla ache").














I really didn't think Nico would understand not feeling well, but he understood it and linked it to his favorite Thomas book in the which Henry has a boiler ache. What sympathy and brains!

That, along with a very amusing duck-duck-goose round, was just what I needed.

Too bad no one did something cute at bedtime. Mother was grum-py. You can't win 'em all.

Vacation!

We went to Destin Florida last week for a little rest and relaxation with Matt's family. But we brought the kids, so we didn't do much of either! We did have a lot of fun. It was really exciting to go on vacation with both boys. The car felt happily full. Plus we stayed in a much nicer place than we could usually afford thanks to Matt's parents being time-share owners and our willingness to sit through a time-share pitch. Well worth it!



Jacob even got room service!
