2011 Spring Fling

If you like having MUSIC, ART and SCIENCE in elementary schools, here's your chance to support them: Mollie is looking for sponsors for her school Walk-A-Thon, April 30. Her walking goal is bouncing between 17-20 miles! She hopes to raise $100 for Hacienda.

New Glasses!

This might not be the best picture of Mollie, but it's the cutest one from minutes after she got her new glasses. One of these days I'll take a picture straight on, but for now, you can all see the frames she decided to get. The sides are striped, and there are a few polka dots along the tops of the arms. All smiles!

Mollie Meets Dr. Lum

The school suggested we have Mollie's eyes checked. Last week when I took her in for an ear infection they had her read the eye chart. Wow - really not good. So I worked with my new insurance company and had her added onto my vision plan. This morning she was so excited to go get her eyes checked. Really, she's been talking to us for a week about what kind of glasses we think would look good on her.

First stop was to look in the big machine to measure her prescription. Turns out her vision is really not that bad.

Next, in the exam room, Dr. Lum got to know Mollie and measured her on a poster. He likes to measure the kids each time they go in to visit to watch them grow.

Dr. Lum did a fantastic job keeping things relaxed and fun for both girls throughout the appointment. Mollie was very talkative (if you can imagine that).

We had Mollie try on several pairs of glasses; blue, pink, purple, wire rim and plastic frames. She preferred the plastic frames because the bridge across the nose was more comfortable. It's a little hard to see here, but the frames she loved the most are berry color. We'll get better pictures next week when her glasses come in.

April Fools' Day!

I enjoy reading the different tricks parents play on their kids. This year one article I read had some for kids to play on Dad which I will try to remember for next year.

Last night I put some water in cereal bowls and let it freeze overnight.

This morning I covered the ice with cereal so that the girls would have a hard time digging their spoons in. They both thought it was pretty funny.
