So this is what we've been up to this week...

Tyler got his wisdom teeth out today. They took him back a little after 8:00. I finished signing papers and left him about 8:15. They hadn't started his IV yet when I left. Around 8:40, the doctor came out and said he was done! How'd you like to make $1500 for 20 minutes of work???? Yikes. I think I chose the wrong profession! Anyway, this is him right now. Our own sleeping beauty. I converted to black and white so you can't see the bloody gauze hangin' halfway out his mouth. I'm sure he'll hate me later for posting this pic. While I was waiting for Ty, two of his friends from school were also waiting to get their teeth out. Guess it's a popular age to have it done... He was hysterical when it was time to leave--soooooo groggy that it took 2 of us to get him in the car. He was supposed to be holding the icepack on his jaw, but dropped it almost instantly after I got him situated. Every. Time. And, he hiccuped all the way home. A real cartoon drunk! Anyway, glad it's done. They've been bothering him for a while and were definitely crowding his mouth. Hopefully, he won't have too much swelling. But, you know I'll post pics if he does. :)

Hadley had her first official basketball game yesterday. They played Travis. They won--about 33-10, I think. She did fine. I could tell that she was pretty rusty, but it didn't seem to matter too much. She's #0, in case it's hard to tell which one is her. Ha!! Yeah right. She could lay in a tanning bed for days and those legs would never be as dark as the rest of 'em in that pic. Her fair, freckled skin sort of stands out.

I was really shocked at the lack of skill by most of the players. Our school teams were always awesome! Really. They were. LOL


Last, but not least, Lance had a fencing tournament this week. He lost, but did well. They have awards next week, then a break until next semester. He plans to do it again, I think. I don't really think about fencing being hard, but those kids sure had rosy cheeks when they finished. The girl he fenced kept slapping Lance's legs or poking him you-know-where. I thought David was going to come out of his chair a few times, because I think she was doing it on purpose... It wouldn't look good for a 40-year-old guy to be beating up a 10-year-old girl... Not good at all. She did get called on it several times, but they also let it slide a lot.

Anyway, that's a brief recap of our week so far. Hope yours is going well. Have a great Thursday!
