Do you want the good news or the bad news? Well, the bad news is that I'm looking down the barrel of another root canal...on a tooth that's already had a root canal...and getting a new crown. Awesome. The good news is that dad has the week off, my dentist's office is right by his house, and it was nearing lunchtime when I got done there. Zacky requested Wendy's so that's where we went. It was a fun lunch date with daddy!

I guess I'm a gambler. I didn't really think of that when I won $50.50 at Strike at Rich bowling!! It was super fun to be the big winner. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with my prize money...shoes?!?

With BJ recovering, we decided to take dinner over to Jenni & BJ's and eat with them. BJ is doing really well but he's super sore so after dinner, he went back in his bed. We have a big inside-joke about Simon going in and "spooning" with BJ. Ah, this looks pretty innocent to me though. :) We also had the fun and rare opportunity of sitting and visiting with Madison and Lori. The Hernendeen's just moved into Jenni's basement for a short time and Lori is here for Thanksgiving. It was a really nice and enjoyable evening.

Today was a great day! We dropped the kids off to Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim - they are saints! We've been wanting to take Dave and Viv to dinner to thank them for all of their help on the basement (labor and/or babysitting) so we took them to see "Catch Me If You Can" at Hale Theater. It was so cute! Afterward, we headed downtown for a super yummy dinner at my favorite restaurant Tucano's. We had so much fun on our all-day date!

Seriously, can't resist these cute faces! Funny story today: We went shopping for Christmas with Grandma Howard today and Zack went out and got his shoes on and got in the car by himself. We got all the way to The Children's Place in Jordan Landing and walked in before I realized that he wore one of his cowboy boots and one of Nick's! He had a hard time walking the whole time we were out. Silly boy!

We're beginning the super fun process of decking Nick's room out in University of Utah décor. This gem arrived today and I'm not sure who was more excited to open it; Nick or Simon.

I just can't resist these sleeping babies and their cute faces. We had Halle and Brielle after preschool today and I guess Zack was worn out from playing hard. I checked on him in his room and he said, "I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap". Sure enough, about 5 minutes later, I found him like this.

It's been an eventful day! Zack, Ricki, and I finished canning applesauce with the last of our free apples from friends' trees. Around the same time, poor BJ went into surgery to have his back fused. It's a big surgery with a huge recovery time but thankfully, everything went well and he's recovering nicely.

Leave it up to Aunt Jenni to give this baby her first sip of Diet Coke. Teach 'em young. That's her motto! :)
