TGIF!! And Happy Leap Year!!

I am really happy that it's Friday but unfortunately I have a lot of work to do over the weekend. I have gotten really, really behind (so why am I blogging you ask?) plus - I am in SO much pain - my teeth are killing me and the inside of my mouth is all chewed up - I went and got a 2nd batch of wax and DentaPaine medicine (like Oragel for babies only stronger!!) from Drug Mart tonight (and a bottle of wine to ease some of the pain...). It may not be all bad...I've lost 2 pounds in 2 days so maybe I'll just turn this into a diet plan...

We had a snowy week - the kids had a late start day on Weds. so Ella didn't have preschool and it was beach day. They will do a make-up day on Monday. They pull out the sandboxes, pools and beach gear. Would it be bad if I showed up with Margarita mix and hung out?

Ella got her school pictures today -is she saying
"I'm only smiling because my mom threatened to take away my birthday AND Christmas if I don't" ??

When I picked her up that day she had one braid in and one completely out so I had no clue if they were like that for the picture as well.

And here is the little guy - how many years of braces do you think he'll need?

And little Miss finishing up some dinner
Any guesses as to what this is?? Clue: I took it last week at night outside (Turn around Bright Eyes...)

I have to keep you hanging awhile longer on the braces picture. Justin took a couple of the sores in my mouth but that isn't really blog-pretty.

With any luck, you'll hear from me again over the weekend (as I avoid more work)...
