Today the children went to the dentist. Nathaniel got to sit in a chair all by himself!

Teeth cleaning!
Such a big boy!
Waiting for Max. Lets play a game.
Nathaniel didn’t want to look at me. This is the best I could do.
How tall is everyone?
Nathaniel seems obsessed with clean teeth lately. I often find him trying to get his tooth brush. I asked the dentist about it and I guess it is nothing to worry about. Also he doesn’t have any teeth coming in that is causing it.
After coming home and playing with sand (see Mother Goose Time, week 2) it was time to brush the teeth again!
And floss!
So this afternoon I had a small moment of clarity. After coming home from the dentist, the children started fighting and a glass of water fell on the floor and the water ran to a large overcrowded bookcase in the office. In frustration and not seeing how I could ever get what I wanted to get done in time (not to mention cooking something for the potluck), I told Tony that I didn’t want to go to Lenten supper’s tonight. I then had Nathaniel fall asleep on me. Pinned and unable to get up started looking on Facebook. One of the first stories I saw was a post from Matt Walsh about how Trump won in the evangelical south. Reading the post and the comments I realized that what we really needed was more faith and God, not less.
I had placed an order for the April box of Mother Goose Time on Monday. It hadn’t shipped yet so I called them to find out if I could add to it the Experience God add on. Thankfully they could do it. I then went down into my basement and came up with some pork soup bones and some split peas (dried). I used my instant pot to make a nice split pea soup for the potluck tonight. I also took out Max’s american flag and put it up where we do circle time. I then made the boys say the Pledge of Allegiance. To my shock Max remembered most of it. More astonishingly Nathaniel tried to say most of it!
I feel tired (little sleep last night) but I feel I must go to church tonight. So I am. Hopefully it will be all clear soon!
