Dentist and Sleepovers

Last week the kids and I had our bi-annual dental appt.  I think most people don't like the dentist, and perhaps if we were plagued with more cavities our fun would be different.  But, all in all, we like and enjoy our trip to the dentist.  Dr Neumann is fantastic and ALWAYS upbeat, loud, and hysterical.  Last Wednesday I picked up the kids early, and we made it to the dentist by 1:50 pm.  That's when I found out our appt was at 2:50 pm.  Whoops.  It was unbearably hot and humid outside, so we decided the waiting room would have to do....and again, we enjoyed our time.  Dr Neumann has fun and exciting toys/books in the waiting room, a TV with the Olympics, and free water.  All 3 of us had glowingly perfect teeth (although we were told to floss.  Not floss more...but just floss.  As in begin to floss...give it a try...see how you like it). 



Our weekend was full of FUN sleepovers with cousins and close friends.  We can also call it the last run at hanging out before school starts (there I said it again...the dreaded school starting).  Friday night Jamie and the kids came over to spend some much needed catch up time for Jamie and me....while the kids played WII, volleyball, swing, 4-wheeler, school, and then watched some movies before falling out to dreamland.  

Saturday came bright and early, and I made a solo trip to Front Royal and signed Nick up for baseball.  (Since I'm talking baseball, I should refer to my town as 'Front Rule').  Then I did some shopping at Target and Walmart, before heading home to whip up a few snacks and a veggie tray to take over to the next sleepover.

Saturday evening/night we went to our old friends', Daniel and Jessica Swiger's house.  Ryan and Daniel have known each other since grade school and I've known them both since college...as they are both Moutaineers, too.  We've experienced a lot of life changes and challenges together...college, working together, married in early 20's, pregnancies (me 2 kids, Jess 3 kids), new homes, birthday parties, etc.. We've also shared a lot of fun times together such as beach trips and camping trips.  It is always nice to spend an evening with them chatting, eating, laughing, and playing with the kids.  Watching their kids and our kids growing up and seeing similarities in kids and adults = entertainment and fun.  :)

Sunday rounded up our weekend with a 7 mile beautiful run in NO HUMIDITY for me.  And a bit of some nascar racing with RBB and vegetable soup with fresh veggies from neighbors' gardens. 

Busy but fun weekend!
