Spring makeover update

I hope tomorrow to get new pics for my blog of my sweetheart's latest step into her teen makeover. I know I promised some pictures, however she is TIRED of pics and I have been a little busy. Picking my battles since I am busy and tired. But I will soon post the pics.

Bed Time Stories

So my olders have to pay me a dollar if they don't go to bed when told.
Very good motivator for them.
However, D is three, and he needs promises of grand adventures in the morning. SOmething to look forward to. Needs to know he is recharging for a reason.
So last night, he needed to know why he had to go to bed.
Cause we're going to a park.
A Park?
Yes
Which park?
The WSU Park.
Oh! I know that park. I like that park. (In the sweetest angelic 3 yr. old voice.)
Dear 12 yr. old A, almost blew it.
Park? WSU has a park?
Yes, using my arms and spreading them wide. "It is big and has lots of trees and green grass," I say while giving her the evil eye that communicates if you ruin this for me, you will suffer!
Wink and a smile and she replies, "yes, the WSU park"
It is a good thing he likes that park. Cause when Daddy is busy on WSU days, it can be a long wait for Dear Sister to be done playing her violin.

4 Years in the Waiting!

It has been more than four years!
And I think worth every minute of it.
A Got her braces off today.
She gets a week of freedom.
Next week she gets her retainers.
The docs office says I will get a lot more fun photos to take next week. I can't wait! ! ! So stay tuned. For now.....
(She had to indulge me, afterall her dad and I paid how much for that smile?!?"


Getting ready to make the final cuts !



Dr. asked if we wanted to take them home to scrap book....nah. Oh,but wait we could play a prank on dad and siblings....
All off, time to clean!!

Just one more picture!!!


She just can't keep smiling !



And what did she want to eat more than anything??? Corn on the Cob! !
Funny thing is, she "forgot how to bite!" So I started clicking the camera and laughing at her as she tried to get used to the sensation and ability to bite! ! Who knew? ?
