Princess and Pumpkins

This little princess woke up this morning with chipmunk cheeks. Why do I call her a princess??? Well, although she already is her daddy's princess, we went to the dentist yesterday and she got 2 crowns. Couldn't let Ben beat her at anything! So crowns=princess status :)
Her is a picture of her showing off her new crowns. She did an excellent job. The dentist loved her enough to seal 2 of her other teeth for free :) Ben reacted to the medicine by being mean and sleeping. Isabel got super-emotional. She would just cry at everything. For those of you that know Isabel, it was more of her bellowing cry. Grandma Tracie came over to watch Ben while we went to the dentist, and she ended up taking Ben for the day. I held my crying-emotional 4yr old. She kept reminding me that she had a headache. She, unlike Ben, refused to sleep it off. She would start to fall asleep, then cry and sit up so she didn't have to sleep. It took about 4hrs for the medicine to wear off. Crying/whiney kids are the best! She called Brady when she was starting to feel better and told him that she had 2 new silver teeth. He then asked her what else she did during the day. Well, that was the wrong question. She started to get teary again and said,"I don't know what I did!!!", one of the effects of the medicine is amnesia. Supposedly she wont remember anything from yesterday. (at least most of the day). So I guess I know how my kids will act if they ever start using drugs....mean & super emotional! We will just keep praying we wont have to deal with that :)
For Family Home Evening on Monday we went out to Day Farms in Layton to go on a hayride and pick our pumpkins. The kids were very excited! Here is Ben riding on his! He finally decided on a pumpkin when we rolled it over and there was a worm under it. He asked the tractor driver if he could have the worm and the pumpkin. They said he could. He kept the worm til we got in the car and he tried to brush the dirt off of his pumpkin and squished his worm :( Sad moment.

Isabel loves picking pumpkins. She found hers, then helped her daddy pick out his. It was one of the biggest ones there :) We are going to paint them next week.

Here is a family picture before we picked out our pumpkins. It was a fun hayride :)

Grandma Tracie had a bad day on Monday. I asked Isabel what we could do for Grandma to help her have a better day. She thought a minute and said, "we should paint her a pumpkin!" I thought that would be a fun idea, so we went and got some miniature pumpkins after we picked out our big ones. Then I had the kids paint them.
They had a great time mixing paint and dunking the pumpkins in it!

Isabel liked to use glitter glue on hers....
Here is Ben's finished pumpkin.
And here is Isabel's finished pumpkin. They both used so much paint that it took over 8hrs to dry.
Hopefully they helped Grandma feel better! The kids sure had a fun time painting them for her!

2 crowns? That bites! Looks like fun pumpkin time though. We're going to the park Tuesday, weather permitting, if you want to come. :)
