The other day, the girls saw on Disney Channel how to make popsicles. So I made some Sunny D ones. After school I offered it to all the kids. They LOVED it. I thought it was funny because they don't like to drink Sunny D, but they liked the popsicles. :-)
We have been debating for a few weeks now about going to a theme park. We have passes to Busch Gardens & Sea World but we would need to buy them for H & M. We can cancel our passes at any time because it just keeps renewing every month. We are itching to get Disney passes again but we are not sure how H & M will do. So we thought getting SW and BG tickets for them is a lot cheaper than Disney tickets. IF they do not do well then it did not cost too much. So we decided to go to Sea World. We went with the expectation that it will be hard and that they might be over stimulated. Well they had a lot of fun. Yes, it was hard. But mainly hard keeping up with 6 kids. We saw the Shamu show (and all 4 of our girls had their cameras out taking lots of photos. Too cute.) They went on their first roller coaster (Shamu's roller coaster) and LOVED it. They went on a few other rides too and loved it. They have Trick-Or-Treating on the weekends so they did that (another first). They loved getting candy. We were there about 4 1/2 hours and we were all ready to go.
The girls are so excited about all of the Halloween decorations that neighbors are putting out. They think it's neat. We have some that we have inside and they love the lights that we put up.
After Sea World we decided to go to the pumpkin patch that we have gone to for over 10 years. The girls got so excited. They have never been to one before (that I'm aware of). They all chose a small pumpkin and we chose 1 big pumpkin. We have not carved it yet, but plan to soon.
Tiff got a bow & arrow and let the kids try to shoot it. H & M LOVED this. Well they love anything that involves Tiff. They are pretty good at it too. Of course, makes me nervous.
Yesterday Hope & I were taking silly pictures on my phone. Maggie joined in. I snapped this photo. Then M went away upset. She told me Hope pulled her hair. Yup! They are sisters. H pulled her hair because she did not like M invading our silly photos.
Hope went to the dentist yesterday. She was terrified. She did not want to go. I told her they were just going to clean her teeth. She finally calmed down and did great. I knew she would if I was not with her. They spent about an hour with her. She let them take x-rays and also examine her teeth & clean them. They said she has 2 teeth (her front teeth) that are decayed. We need to go to a pediatric dentist to see if we need to do a root canal or pull them. :-( She also has 3 cavities. And she had a lot of plaque buildup. Well, I know they told her to floss, because she is now obsessed with flossing. LOL I love how she follows directions. At least directions that others give her. :-)
The girls are doing great. Their English is coming along great. Hope is communicating in English more than Maggie. But Maggie is trying. I love watching them think before they speak. They were so excited yesterday because it was one of their teacher's birthdays. So they made her (drew her) a card.
Please pray for Hope as we will be starting the dental work. Pray that it's not too much for her.
Thanks!!!!
