Bright and early, okay not so early but for a day off of school it was early, Brandon had an oral surgeon appointment to have 4 teeth pulled. He has had at least 8 teeth pulled due to big teeth, extra teeth and a small mouth, just in size not in volume. He is so brave about it. Dr. Koterwas is awesome!!! Brandon is giving laughing gas, then an i.v. and knows nothing for 10 minutes. He is so darn funny coming out of the meds. Last time he talked about cross country skiing, this time he talked about Rocky and Philadelphia. The nurses and I helped him to the car and off we went home for him to relax for a few hours.
After lunch, we hopped in the big van and picked up the Monheims, minus Chris. Rachel and I ventured with the crew to Mister Ed's Candy and Elephant museum out past Caledonia. The kids were in sugar nirvana! After some time of making big decisions of what to pick, a few fudge samples and browsing, we left with plenty of candy in tow.
Next, we stopped at Aldi's for some grocery shopping. Not sure why I thought this was a good idea after my children consumed a week's worth of sugar, but nonetheless, we made it through the store without any major mishaps. We did score some mongo pumpkins for $2.49 each! yippee! we grew a bunch of pumpkins in our garden this year, but no jack o lanterns.
We dropped Rachel off at home with her groceries and Nick and Elise came home with us for an hour so Rachel could get some things done. Elise and Brandon love to hang out on the computer together and Nick and Andrew went for a spin around the yard on the four wheeler (much to his momma's dismay! oops, sorry!)
Fun day off with the kiddos!
