Craig's list find!

And they really were $20 for the two. Score. :)
They are a bit scratched, need a good sanding and resealed. They are VERY sturdy. They will probably go to college with a girl the end of next year :)

Angela's teeth

What are you looking at? Angela's molar movement. Top X-ray is one year ago. The bottom was today. The top was when her 12 year molars were laying on the sides. And wisdom teeth were tucked in there too (more like crammed in there). This is the most improved tooth it's almost totally upright now! Nice!!





Here is the other side. This was the more difficult side to move, thus the spring loaded "pusher”。still quite and impressive amount of movement! I think another 6 months and we will have that bad boy in place as well! Wednesday is the orthodontist appointment and we will learn more of what they will be doing to get that last tooth in place. Today was just the dental cleaning but the hygienist had me come in to see the movement that has been accomplished. :) love my dental office!

Lizzie's foot

Today was the day to get the foot looked at by orthopedics.

The doc decided it wasn't far enough off (3mm) to justify surgery so she is getting a cast

First a sock the the padding:






Then the under layer with no color.



Then green:



Tada!



The issue was that the foot was too flexed. They wanted it more if a 90 degree angle.

So off comes THAT cast:






And down on the belly to let gravity help with the position of the foot






Much better angle!



And then we went to lunch with gma and gpa as he was in town to have HIS foot worked on as well!


They match! Ha!

Also did you know it is illegal for her to drive with her right foot in a cast? Yep not just difficult, illegal. Sigh. No driving for her for the summer and now we (parents) get to juggle band stuff :(

Butchs birthday cake

It all started out so innocent.


Then it went downhill from there :)


Putting more touches in...


Eeek!!


Happy (day early) dad! She was too excited to wait another day to share it with him ;)





Happy birthday honey!

Med stops oh my

Elizabeth was goofing off at Walmart Tuesday night. She was hopping into the house at 10:30 and I asked about the hopping and she said she hurt her foot. Nothing more so I told her to 1) keep noise to a minimum and to I've the foot. Not another peep out of her.

I oh to work Wednesday and come home to this.
Meet potato foot!


Doesn't look as bad until you compare it to the normal foot


Then do a side by side to REALLY see the difference.

Off we go to the MedStop. And mind you she's still saying "it's fine I don't need to go in"





Big hump!


Crossing her leg up so the toes don't get cold and tingly.


And the results. Shall we play "count the breaks?"


Got a number? I'll tell you in a minute if you're right.

Here she is being wheeled out to the car.


And in we go!!


She's in crutches and the foot is not in use. :(

You still have that number? Did you get FOUR? Yep 2nd, 3rd and fourth with two on the 3rd. Good job Lizzie!!

A long lost photo ..

A lost photo from the Savannah collection



Cute girls wondering home after shopping. And found a great spot to park for free :)

Lowes is my "crack" in spring!

It all started with my trip to Lowes last week and the CUTE hanging planters. Sigh. I went to Lowes to get two more planters


Which I did. Along with two types of tomatoes, cherry and Roma; a bell pepper; a eggplant


AND 6 ground cover flowers as my verbena bit the dust with the freezes this year. Oh and 6 wave petunia to put in the hanging planters AND two potato vines just for good measure...and one succulent.

Before the flowers.


The other side in full bloom and perked!


With flowers:


Then I decided to put my pot if succulents over here too. And low and behold it did survive it just too a while coming back this spring.


The flowering ground cover... Alternating pink and yellow (hard to see as they are traumatized still)


And the veggies at the stair way. Right side


Lest side.


Now to keep them watered and happy!!

Other peoples trash is another persons treasure.

Found on garbage day. What? Yes they are dirty, dirty, dirty however are sturdy and need no fixes! What a score!


And I'm always whining about not finding GREAT finds. Well today was my day. This cutie was a whopping $5.00


LOOK at those drawer pulls. She's so pretty!


No mirror but I can live with that, especially at that price!!

It's TIME! I went to Lowes at lunch today to get pool salt and came home with a project or two.

One for this wall:


I came home with these:


And these!


I put the daisies here:





They are so BRIGHT!


And go well with their neighbors!!


And the wall will now have some drippy color in the next few months.

I can't wait to see it all bloom and perk up ;)
