Ahhh...The Drill Sound...

Maggie's First Birthday (that's her in the tent)

Well, my first of two dentist appointments is over with. My mouth is sore, but the freezing took this time. Thankfully! Last time it was a bit painful. Thanks to all those who thought of me and prayed. It was wonderful to know that there were people praying and thinking of me.

Everytime she did something, though, I just tensed up waiting for the pain to start. It never did. Only a bit when she started to go too close to another tooth. I am sure that happens a lot, though. In any case, I don't have to go back until the beginning of October.

Tomorrow we are heading out to Calaway Park, which is an amusement park outside of Calgary. I have fond memories of spending the whole night there when I was in Junior high. Our band would rent out the tent and we would have a BBQ and spend the afternoon/evening riding the rides. (The ocean motion, for example) Then we would also have a fun day at the end of the year and our school would take a group of people out there for the day. Junior high was a fun time, but I DO NOT, under no circumstances, want to go back!!

Anyway, they have changed the park up a bit. It used to have a Bedrock city theme. It is less of that now, though. I am sure the kids will have a great time. I will, too! I love it when the kids are lovin' it, if you know what I mean.

Tomorrow night my mom and I are going to do some face painting for "Brownie in the Park". It is a chance for Brownies and Spark aged girls to come and check out what it would be like to be a Brownie or a Spark. My mom and I are doing the face painting as a fundraiser for next summer when we take our 9 girls out to Ontario for a week long camp. (in Guelph)

Does anyone know how to quilt? I was just wondering because I have an urge to learn the proper techniques after reading a book that my Mom-in-law introduced me to. Now both my mom and I want to quilt. (Thanks, Sandra!!) Anyway, I was just wondering. I have already started to collect some of the kids nicer clothes for a quilt when they have their first child, so I need to learn how to do it!

Meanwhile, I have been knitting up a storm. Wash cloths to go in with people's Christmas gifts. They are fun and easy. Anyway, I find it easy to do a couple rows, even with the 3 kids running around. And it is relaxing. I like it!! Plus, I love something where I can see progress is being made.

Well, I guess that is it for now. I only had a Frostee and some fries for supper. (Hubby took us out to Wendy's since I wasn't feel so well!) Anyway, my stomach is starting to protest. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow and I PROMISE to try and get pictures up of our freshly painted rooms!!

Blessings to all!!
