What a trooper!

Today was Corey's dentist appointment, and Carrie said they took X-rays, cleaned his teeth and even did a flouride treatment ... not exactly counting his teeth, like they did last appointment (the dentist was impressed Corey knew how many teeth he had).

Thursday he has his MRI. No food until afterward, no liquids after 10 and they have to check in at noon. We'll probably watch the Transformers movie we rented again tomorrow night, maybe go to a pumpkin patch Friday and head to Flagstaff this weekend. Hopefully Corey's week off isn't too bad!

Sinclair Saturday morning

Corey had his first Mini Mites practice this morning and had fun. They did the usual stuff (freeze tag, jumping over lines, etc) but also got to play some games with the pucks and goals. Corey particularly enjoyed being goalie. Brody was disappointed he didn't get to see the Zamboni.

Afterward we took a family trip to Costco (Brody says, "I LOVE waffles. I LOVE animal cookies. I LOVE juice.") and then had lunch at In-n-Out ... always a crowd-pleaser.

Tonight we're going over to the Evahneko's for Dillon's birthday. Have a good weekend!

National Walk to School Day

Guess what we did this morning! As you can see from our shadows we were kind of early. (Lately Brody has been saying, "Good morning, Sun." when he sees it. Of course, he doesn't like it in his eyes, and when he moves to the shade he says, "Bye bye, Sun. Leave Bobo alone."

Day 3 Without Mommy

Not that you can tell with the dimples and all, but this is Brody's "sad face." Of course, it's hard to be sad after a two-hour nap while eating animal crackers. Not much to report today. We had chicken marsala for dinner (Corey actually liked it). Tomorrow is "Walk to School Day" at Finley Farms, although I'm not sure about the logistics of dropping off Brody too. We can't wait to see Carrie tomorrow night!

Day 1 (and 2) Without Mommy

(I've been trying to do this for two days ... but it wasn't working!)

Carrie left bright and early Sunday morning, and the boys and I spent the day playing and cleaning around the house. Here is a photo of them sharing goldfishes and crackers during snack time. We went "swimming" but the water was kind of chilly so we mostly splashed around the pool for a little bit. I didn't get a chance to warn Corey before he jumped in, so he was quite surprised. After baths we had grilled cheese sandwiches to "warm up."

Corey and I got out his hockey players to play with during Brody's nap. Brody joined in on the fun after he woke up (Corey was trying to get him to drop the puck in the middle and Brody kept saying, "How about riiiiiiiiight HERE?" and picking different spots.)

Last night we watched Snow Buddies for family movie night (we also watched Bee Movie this weekend after Corey got ALL GREEN LIGHTS last week)!

Today we're all wearing our Vikings jerseys ... hopefully they can muster a better showing than the Cubs' pathetic performance this week! (So far, so good!)
