SK and I are preparing for her
Pinkalicious party this week and were out and about shopping for it. I had on my list pink balloons. We went to two different stores, no
pink. So I
texted AP to see if he could stop by a party store, he said he would pick some up. Walked into Wally - FOUND THEM (
Yay for me!). Put them in the cart when I was told by my three year old going on four that we already had balloons. She was sure we had them already. So I went with it, knowing I would probably be back at Wally for something party related. We got home, I dug in the party bag and guess what I found?!?!
Pink Balloons. She remembered, I the adult, didn't. I was a little aggravated at myself for forgetting but also amused. I just should have asked her in the first place!
GM came to the table last night for dinner announcing she had a new tooth. Her Dad and I kind of shrugged it off but she kept insisting there was a new one in her mouth. AP looked and lo and behold there it was. A new tooth coming in BUT it wasn't pushing the baby tooth out. It was behind the baby tooth. Both parents were dumbfounded. We didn't even know this could happen. We just stared at each other not sure what to say.
AP's first thought (after amazement) was how much is this gonna cost us? Mine (again after amazement) , how is GM going to handle a tooth being pulled? My girl has issues with the dentist, she gets anxious, there are tears etc... Not a fun time. It made AP and I sick all night, thinking what would take place after seeing the dentist. I called a good friend who's in the "biz" she was positive and told us it was totally normal. She gave us an idea of what will take place after x-rays and a visit to our dentist. So next Monday's the day. Haven't told GM yet. There's that sick feeling again in the pit of my tummy.
{thanks Ange, you're the dental BOMBIGGITY!}
Everyday, like clock work at 3:50 p.m. I pick up GM. 
They made for a lovely side dish for dinner tonight.

They love this path to their tire swing.
Landscaping the backyard. We brought in some gravel, lots of gravel to cover the play area and create a walkway between the patio and under the deck. We love the outcome and can't wait for phase two of the process, PLANTS! We also filled the three holes left from the dead trees we brought down last fall. I am looking forward to not mowing around those anymore.
Okay, before we move on please know this is not how we live. SK's preschool is having a garage sale fundraiser, YAY! I'm cleaning house for that plus general spring cleaning, plus I'm putting up Easter and switching our clothes out from Winter to Spring/Summer. Too much I know, my hubby reminds me of this as he climbs over piles. In my defense, most of the piles are in the unfinished part of our basement.
I will say it has felt very liberating to let go of things. I cleaned out my closet today, took three big trash bags to Goodwill. AP was impressed with the new look of our closet but still complained about the piles. I guess I should finish what I started :-).
