Now Where Were We?

Let's see, where did I leave off. How about I just start with waking up. I'm starting to sound like Anna Claire. She is always saying "Well, how about we...."

Anna Claire and Bennett have a gift to open every morning while their Mommy and Daddy are bathing in the sun. This video is from this morning.



Bennett tried to sneak out the back door. Look's like I'll be buying those door knob things even I can't open.

Gary fixed the kids a sandbox.

Video of Anna Claire and Bennett in Bennett's New Pool. This pool only lasted one day. Once he say Anna Claire in the big pool, the baby pool was no longer fun.


Video of Bennett and Gary. I don't know what Bennett was doing but it was cute.


Video From Yesterday. I'm saving Bennett's dancing videos. I know I'll make money off him one day when he is on that show "So You Think You Can Dance."


Now, for the rest of the day. Bennett has a skin rash. We took him to the doctor this afternoon and he has a bacterial infection. I told the doctor I really didn't trust my temperature checking skills on a baby. He told me that an ear thermometer was good but the best, and what they use, is the type that you touch their forehead with and swipe their forehead to the hairline. So, I bought one today. It's like a new toy but hopefully it will help me to have more confidence in checking temperatures for my grandchildren.

I tried to warn Anna Claire at the doctor's office that when the doctor comes in, Bennett will probably cry but the doctor is not going to hurt him. But, he'll cry anyway. Here is what Anna Claire said: "Ma, I had to go to the doctor once and my mommy said that the doctor just wanted to check me out...but he gave me a shot and it hurt....but Ma, I'm going to the dentist soon and he is just going to tickle me."

When we left the doctor's office Gary took the car and the kids. I had his truck and went to Neighborhood Market to get Bennett's medicine. There was a long line so I called Gary to tell him it would be a while. They were at Sonic Drive-In having apple juice! Somewhere during this time Anna Claire and Bennett had a fight. When they got home Gary told them to kiss and makeup. Bennett bent over to kiss Anna Claire. Gary said it was the cutest thing ever to see.

I also had to buy some new bandaids today. Anna Claire had a scratch and all I had were "brown" bandaids. So, we have Barbie and Elmo bandaids. I'm covered now for when Bennett has a scratch.

Last night we caught three fireflies. Anna Claire has high expectations now for tonight. We've done a lot more but these days I have to type fast. Not much time can be devoted to this computer!
