Will's first visit to the dentist!

Yes, I know.....he should have gone sooner. Sigh, but I guess my fear of the dentist makes me really hate going, even with my kids! Both boys had their well checks last week and their pediatrician mentioned that it was time for Will to see the dentist. Mike had to have a small cavity filled on Saturday morning and while we were there we made Will his appt. So at 7:30am today, we were there! Will was pretty excited and a tad nervous but I assured him that the dentist is a friend. :)

He did so well!! He listened, he answered the hygienist's questions and seemed to really enjoy the whole visit! He had his teeth counted, had x-rays, his teeth were cleaned, had a fluoride treatment and then it was time for the dentist to take a look. She said his teeth were "very pretty" and that it looks like he does a great job brushing. The only concern is that Will has an under bite and it's causing some rubbing and scratching of the enamel on his top front teeth. At this point there is nothing to do because soon his permanent teeth will come in. So...we will cross that bridge when it comes.

Will's Indiana Jones Birthday party.

We threw Will's b-day party this past weekend. We decided to have this one at home since the boys are only getting older and this might be the last one we can do at the house.

Will decided on an Indiana Jones party and we ran with it. It was too much fun!! When the guests arrived we had them do a craft. They colored, or painted on a white paper plate. We let them dry and then cut them into spirals and attaching googly eyes....they made snakes. :) We then ate lunch and then it was time for the show to start.

Mike dressed up as Indy and gathered the kids around to tell them the tale of the "Hu Shur" treasure. Said he found it but that it was locked with 3 locks and he needed their help finding the keys. The first key was hidden in a bowl of mummy guts (spaghetti). I think the boys really liked this....but the girls were a bit grossed out. They found all the hidden keys in the guts and tried them all on the first lock until they found the right one. The 2nd key was hidden in snakes cave. Indy HATES snakes so he needed the kids to go in and get snake eggs and he knew that the key was hidden in one of them. We made the cave in our hallway using old sheets, and plastic table clothes. It was lit by a red party light and there was all kinds of fake snakes, lizards, costume jewelry and the snakes eggs on the ground. They found all the eggs and Indy opened them up. In one was the key...so that took care of the 2nd lock. So where could the 3rd key be?? The mummy had it! So Indy told them that if they offered the mummy a "sweet treat" on a "special day" that the mummy would give them the key. Well the kids decided that the sweet was the cupcakes and that the special day was Will's birthday. So...out came the "Hu Shur Mummy"!!! lol It was Heather all wrapped up in toilet paper. So Will gave her the cupcake and she released the key. They opened the 3rd and final lock, popped open the chest and inside was the treasure....the party goody bags.

Fun! All the kids had a really great time. :)
