Look what I made!?

Had the boys over today...There was live music (Thanks to Jules & Rick...and Alan..), a great craft (thanks to JulieMis)...and five very lively boys and a happy baby girl.....

Dinner with the Avallone crew

Enjoyed dinner tonight with the Avallone crew. I made "pulled pork", baked asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes, fresh beets and homemade cornbread. Yummy. The boys watched 101 Dalmations. After dinner Alan drew vaccum cleaners and Ivan drew a picture of his sister Olivia....I am told by the parents that tonight - at my house -that Olivia played with her first toy!!! I caught it on camera!!!







CORNBREAD - Made from scratch - I agree with the boys...the "corn cake" could have been more sweet...but it was still pretty tasty.

First Dentist Appointment

Alan did better than expected. All 20 teeth were accounted for...Dr. F said his teeth look, "Great!". I am relieved having spent the past three years implementing so many strategies to negotiate the tooth-brushing routine. Because he did so well, they tried to brush his teeth, but the sound of the electric tooth brush frightened him. He very appropriately said "That sound scares me. Please turn it off." I commended him for expressing his feelings so appropriately.
