Yesterday....

We all had our dentist appt. yesterday, well, I think I brush and floss and "Act" (- mouth wash) more than anyone in this house, but I have 2 cavities. So I get to go back next month to get 2 fillings.... yeah. Good news, Jeromy and the kids all have NO cavities. So that is really good.


Now here is where the story gets sad or maybe a little pathetic.... you decide. Well, my appt was yesterday morning, and the other 3 were in the afternoon cause I had to go to work. And the dentist we go to, is one I have been going to since I was little, and they have always had this life size Pink Panther you get you picture taken with if you have no cavities.... here's some of the kids pictures over the years in the class room at home.... My mom has pictures like these in her scrapbook of me growing up, it's cool to see how the kids grow thru the years next to the life size pink panther. So when Jeromy said the kids had no cavities, I asked if they got their pictures taken.... there was a slight pause... and he said no. NO???What do you mean NO??? I felt like a part of their child hood was ripped away and is over, with out my consent.

So I wasn't really mad, and I know the kids are getting older, and it's kind of a kid thing, and I knew there would be a day when they'd stop getting their picture taken next to the pink panther, but I just didn't think it would have been yesterday. And I can guarantee if I had been there they would have had their picture taken. I guess it's just one of those moments when you're forced to realize your kids are growing up. Lame.

Anyway, enough crying about that. Yesterday also started our official training for the "Sound to Narrows 2009" run. Remember the kids are doing the 5K, and I am doing the 12K. So I did my 3 mile jog yesterday, and I felt awesome. The kids also did their training which was a 4 mile walk, we drove yesterday from the house in a 4 mile loop so the kids would know how far to walk. So after I had gone to work, and after their dentist appt (where they didn't get their "no cavity" picture) they went for their walk, and Jeromy was sweet enough to get a couple pictures of them returning after their 4 miles....

Kent looks so big...Now I am just hoping that the sun peaks out a little bit today so I can go relax out in it. Have a great day, and truly enjoy your kids, no matter what their ages, and try not to be crazy mom, who almost insisted Jeromy turn the car back around to get their pictures taken with the life size pink panther... any advice on letting your kids grow up with out it being so painful??? I really think mine grew up extra fast, I think I was cheated out of a few years in there some where hahaha.

Love you all,
