Some hard times...

We've been having a hard time this week. The kids (the older ones) have not been being nice to each other...again. We go to the park together a few times during the week and I feel like this is the only time that they are nice to each other. So we fight the morning battle and go to the park where I can get a bit of peace and quiet....sometimes.

Hannah and Ben went to the dentist on Tuesday. Hannah got frightened and freaked out in the waiting room. She screamed and cried for about 15 minutes and finally agreed to sit on my lap in the chair. Then the hygienist came in...another freak out but this one was the "silent treatment" with no eye contact and her lips shut tight. Fun. After what seemed like an eternity, the hygienist managed to get her to open her mouth (at her own will), talk about princesses and Dora and clean her teeth! Go Shawnee!! A quick race to the treasure chest after she was given her bag of goodies and she was out of there! This was her second time to the dentist and last time she did wonderfully! Even the dentist commented on how she did well last time (see December 17, 2005)! So sad...one can only hope that the next time is muuuuch better. *fingers crossed*

Here's the update on the caterpillars:
Monday (June 26th) we went to check on them and they were outside their chrysallis's and getting ready for flight! So awesome to see them go through the cycle! Here are the pics.







And look we have some more caterpillars to watch! This time there are about 4 around the house. Cool!
