Today was Dentist Day, aka "lets spend goofy amounts of money to find out how horrible the kid's teeth are" Day.  It turned out being a more pleasant day than we expected.  Here's the damage:

Autumn - Sealant on new molar
Molly - Three cavities and one pulled molar
Ella - Enamel defect covered with filing material
Nash - One pulled front tooth

$273 in total....which is much better than we expected.

No cute pictures this time, but Nash has cracked us up a couple times recently with his pearls of wisdom.

The kids were at Grandpa and Grandma's while Michele and I went to Denver for our anniversary.  Apprently Grandpa did a great job at wearing them out because when we got home I asked Nash to do something and his response was, "Awwww, Grandpa made all my running energy fall asleep!"

Just yesterday he told me his tummy hurt so I asked him why.  He said, "My brains are making my tummy hurt because I need to play something electric."

Also yesterday, he came out of his bathroom carrying a jar of Noxema telling us how he needs to use that because he gets pimples.  It was hilarious.

Art....?

I don't know if y'all have seen these, but they are worth a repeat.  The first is Molly's and makes me laugh every time I see "Sam the angry loin" and the other is Autumn's and I believe it accurately captures my vacant stare.

Our new kitten with our old dog.

One Big Happy....eh, nevermind

Our trips, short or long, bring us closer together.  Obviously.

Victory!

Michele's Kindle got to where it wouldn't charge and since I like to take things apart, I thought I'd see what the problem was.  They have a reputation for failing like this, and I was sure I could fix it.  Arlan found a much more elegant solution, but I'll pick up on that later.  I opened said Kindle up and the USB jack had broken leads.  How that design ever left the factory is a mystery.  Anyhoo, I ordered a new jack and tonight I soldered it in.  I don't know how long my fix will work, but it was fun.

That tiny thing in the center with the 5 tiny leads attached is what I replaced.  The original had nothing except those teensy leads holding it to the board, so it's no wonder it didn't last.

P.S.

Arlan's solution?  He contacted Amazon and they send him a whole new Kindle.  That's why I will never get ahead....

Ummmmm.....

So, my Boss got me this hot sauce to try.  I don't know if you can read that, but it says, "Xtinction sauce."  It's made with Ghost peppers and I'm scared to try it.  What say you, should I throw caution to the wind?
