So this week was kind of a big deal. Liv went to her 4 year checkup on Wednesday and everything went well. The doctor said she didn't need any shots that day (since she was still 3 at the time of the appointment he thought she was in for a routine 3 year appt) and then suddenly realized that she needs 4 shots at the 4 year mark and that she'd be 4 in a week. Not so good. Dave has Wednesday of this week to spend the day with Liv on her birthday and guess where we will be going… back for shots. Stinks. We are also taking her to breakfast and a to a lizard thing at the library so it's not a totally horrible day but she does go on and on after getting shots about how horrible it was. Maybe this time will be better. We can only hope.

So anyway at that appointment Liv's doctor said that the girls needed to start seeing the dentist twice a year and the eye doctor once a year. While at that appointment Liv didn't do so well on the eye chart so he wanted her to get to an appointment soon. So I booked both the eye exams and the dentist for Saturday and we went to the eye doctor first. They both did really well following directions and getting their eyes dilated. They did so well in fact that Olivia will be getting GLASSES next week. Yes- Glasses (Juicy Couture even). She is farsighted with astigmatism. And …ready for the drum roll… Ava gets glasses next year. Our poor kids are cursed with my eye sight.

So we left there at noon with the dark plastic shades on, eyes totally dilated and headed to Toys r us to buy the neighbor a birthday gift, ran home snarfed lunch, and headed to the dentist. Luckily they were still wearing their special glasses and didn't have to use the ones from the dentist. Attached are the dentist pictures. Both had x-rays taken, their teeth cleaned, and were given treats for being so wonderful. Everyone at the office loves how brave they were and how good they were. When we got home we made some pinecone turkeys with some googly eyes we bought at toy r us.

But just so we didn't leave anyone out- Today Lady and Sugar went to the groomers and had their nails trimmed. Lady peed all over the floor a few times, Sugar snarled at dogs passing by, but both did ok while they shaked tremendously getting their toes beautified. Oh and I didn't forget Nanners. She waited in the truck while the dogs did their thing and then we drove to the other pet store and she got her yearly shots.
And a fun time was had by all!

I Think This Falls Under Mortal Sins

Gluttony at it's finest

I mean, really... One rawhide wasn't enough?

And the Diva goes for the raw hide that is as big as she is. Silly Dogs.

Who's a lucky dog to get a brand new dog bed just her size? Sugar of course!

Seconds later she traded up...You snooze you lose Lady... Awe too bad.

This is NOT a dog bed.

Sugaboody...

This weekend Sugar reached 18 weeks old and received her Rabies shot so she is officially street legal. We roped her up with her little leash, strapped up Lady as well, put on all of our jogging shoes and headed out the door. Sugar walked with pride as she strutted her little self down the street like a big dog wagging her tail and jumping around Lady in delight. It was exciting now that each of the girls had a leash to hold, a dog to walk, and no time to argue about whether it was 'her turn' or not. Ava chose to walk Lady and actually had her under control the entire time giving her a yank when she tried to walk too far ahead. Livy held Sugar which was relatively easy since she's so light she can't really get ahead and Livy had her under control the entire time too. She is a really good dog walker.

We walked the long way to the playground and showed Dave the route we take for our morning outings. We scoped out the neighborhood for coins but came up empty handed. Sad face. Then we hit the dirt trail and Dave and I held the leashes and the girls went running. "Look Daddy, I jogging. I swing my arms like this..." Then Ava demonstrated how she could jog and swing her arm above her head like a looneytune. Olivia jogged ahead too and acted like she had to show Ava the way because she's 3 and she gets privileges that Ava doesn't get and she is going to make sure Ava is very aware of it every opportunity she gets. Ugg. I knew the first time I uttered those words to Olivia they were going to come back and bite me... and they have... over and over again, everywhere we go. I think I can now hear them in my sleep. "I'm 3 and I get to..."

The girls impressed their daddy by illustrating their ability to jog the entire trail and then they led him straight to the playground. They climbed around for awhile and then we headed home for lunch and naps. We all napped. It was amazing. We never do that-ever. I can't remember the last time I took a nap during the day. It felt great and we all woke up with a very prominent sleep hangover, kinda grizzly, kinda still in a fog. We hung out and my neighbor came over with her stepdaughter. The girls played and laughed and were occupied by someone other than us for awhile and it was wonderful. Dave watched sports, I hung out with Keri, we had peace.

Sometimes that is all you can really ask for in a weekend. Actual down time and a bucket of liquor. Did I just say that? We had a fun family weekend together and without spending any money. That's an achievement in it's self and big fat break for the lack of funds we have anyway. I think we could use a few more of these:)
