A Double Date

 Near their birthday the kids get to pick Mom or Dad to take them on a date and get their pictures taken at Target.  After we either go out for a meal or a treat.  Well, Amelia wanted to make it a double date so we took Alex and Aaron along with us.  It also happened to be the day of the kids' dentist appointments.  To me, this would not be a fun date activity but Amelia LOVED it!  After the dentist with freshly cleaned teeth we went to Target and Amelia got her pictures taken.  She spent her birthday money and then we went for a treat at Culver's.  It was a fun day and a great date!

2/7 - Amelia was SO excited to go to the dentist and not at all nervous.  It was her first time but we talked to her about it a lot to prepare.  She chatted them up telling them all about her recent birthday and her love for Dora.  She also told them about her dentist Barbie and they were all quite impressed.

2/7 - It was Alex's first time to the dentist as well and he was leery of the whole thing.  He watched Amelia go first and I think that helped a lot but he whined and whimpered as they poked around in his mouth.  In the end he sat on Aaron's lap with his head in the dentist's lap while they checked him out.  He really liked the taste of the vitamin stuff they painted on his teeth and stopped crying long enough to "yum yum yum."  It made us all laugh.

2/7 - After Amelia's pictures we went to Culver's for a treat.  We got a mixer which is a lot like a DQ blizzard.  I got Strawberry Banana, Amelia got Butterfinger, and Alex got M&Ms.  Aaron opted out of the treat and got a four-piece chicken meal (that man is always hungry!).  Amelia was too busy getting a bite to bother looking at the camera but she has a nice smile on her face!

2/7 - Alex LOVED eating his treat.  He's never been too motivated to use a spoon at home he typically just uses his hands like a caveman.  He saw the need for this treat and wouldn't let Aaron help him because he noticed Dad always took some service fee bites when he helped.

2/7 - I love how Alex looks so tiny behind his ice cream!  He doesn't like booster seats at restaurants so it makes him short.  I also love Aaron all tucked into his feast as we eat our treats.

2/7 - While we were out we got a call from Menard's that our fridge handles were ready.  Since we got the display model our handles were pretty beat up but they included new ones for free.  While we waited in the car I snapped this pictures of Alex.

2/7 - Amelia was so excited to spend her birthday money while we were at Target.  She had a really hard time deciding between Pet Shop toys, a new baby, and a baby accessory set that included a baby carrier.  In the end, after much waffling on her part, she landed on the new baby.  It came with a binky about as big as it's head which totally reminded me of when my babies were born.  Thanks Grandma and Aunt Suzi for the birthday money!
