Dusting..
DON’T FORGET..
FIRST FRIDAY FABRIC BAG GIVE-AWAY!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girls have this thing about wanting to dust the car.. but there is only so much dusting you can do in a car.. so today the girls dusted dad!
LOL
Now if we could only get them to dust the house!
Dentist Visit Yesterday
The girls went for their first REAL dental cleaning yesterday.. I was concerned because Autumn kept referring to the dental office as the “bad doctor” because of the visits prior to this.. she and Haley at the tender age of 3 1/2 years had to have many many fillings.. so they were not happy with those two visits..
Anyway, the morning started off HUMID.. YUCK.. could barely see the hills as we drove down the road for our 1 1/2 hr drive to the Pediatric Dental Care office in State College.
On the way the girls watched a movie and we got a chance to chat. 
It’s so funny to listen to them watch a movie sometimes because Haley will laugh at some parts and Autumn won’t and Autumn will laugh and Haley won’t.
At one point we were talking about how he thought the day would go at work since he wasn’t there and then we saw this truck..
Mike said ”Lemco Company Tools..Where you should be!.. Yea I SHOULD be there but I’m on Vacation today.. HAHA..”
I said it should be ”Where SHOULD you be??”
We saw other things I wanted to take pictures of but I forgot to charge my battery so didn’t get many pictures.
We got to the office around 7:45AM and there were lots of kids their age waiting to be seen. Most of the kids were playing in the playhouse and Autumn kept announcing this is my new friend and Hi my name is Autumn and her name (point to sister) is Haley. The girls went from the playhouse to the video games to looking at books and play with various toys in the waiting room. Mommy and daddy just waited for them to be called and tried to stay awake.
They were called in shortly after 8AM and they were not too concerned walking back to the exam room with the dental assistant. Autumn walked back introducing herself and telling the assistant who this other girls dressed like her was. I don’t dress them alike too often but this morning it was just easier because we had to leave home so early.
Well about 45 minutes later they emerge from the back and they were all smiles and giggles and couldn’t wait to play in the playhouse again. My camera was almost dead and I couldn’t get a picture of them running to us to show us their loot.
The head dentist came out with them and he was smiles but I was worried because “the boss” came out with them.
Autumn announced what toys she got and ran off to the playhouse.. Haley followed suit. As Dr. Kelly approached I smiled and removed my ear buds and waited for the report…
NO CAVITIES!
Yes you heard it right.. NO CAVITIES!!! I guess mommy and daddy have been doing something right for a change..
After paying the bill we had a difficult time removing Autumn from the playhouse.. you see their were more and different kids to play with now that their dental visit was over.
Once getting the girls all buckled in we proceeded to go to our next stop. The Supercenter WalMart! Yes you heard me.. we had to go to the Supercenter WalMart… why you ask??? To find some…
If you haven’t tried it… Please do!! It’s yummy!! The girls love it and so do we! But unfortunately, no stores sell it locally so we have to either order online or drive a distance to get it. Just so happens that the Supercenters in State College carry some of their products.
After WalMart we went to find some food… we were all hungry!!
On the way home we made more stops in State College but the camera was near dead so only one more picture..
As we were driving to our next stop, Room Doctor, to pick-up a free step stool I had won back in May when Mike noticed this intersection..
.. and with a little photo editing..
LOL
Our last stop before going home was to the Nittany Valley Mall in State College to get a special treat for a most EXCELLENT dental report..
Remember.. NO CAVITIES!!!
Haley picked this adorable frog and named it Skeevie (I think)..
Autumn picked this adorable giraffee and named it Melman..
Here is a picture of Autumn helping daddy put together mommy’s new FREE step stool..
What color should I paint it??
To end the full day of activities.. oh yea.. we went swimming too.. here is a picture daddy passed out on the couch..

Daddy said from the kitchen..
“.. look girls.. we are learning how to be Amish but where is Mommy and Jessica??”
Lycoming County Fair
Yesterday we went to the Lycoming County Fair.
It was HOT and HUMID!
But we had a GREAT time!
Here are the pictures..
Here you can see how HUMID it was.. you can barely see the mountains in the background.. YUCKY sticky!!
Oh we took this picture because neither of us could see what the it said on the packaging.. we BOTH need to get eye exams.. been 3 years for me and probably 6 or more for Mike.
This picture is of a 4H exhibit that I really liked.
Waiting for our milk shake orders!
FINALLY enjoying our milk shakes!! YUMMM!

This time with Mommy and Haley.. there was no extra spinning.

Autumn trying to opne her water.
Daddy and Haley eating their hotdogs.
Oh that water looks soooo refreshing.. and it was!
Autumn is not much into rides so we was AMAZED when she went on this ride with Haley.
Haley’s new FAVORITE ride!!
She laughed and screamed the entire time!
Still laughing after riding it ALONE over 10 times!
Finally convinced Autumn to ride it a second time..
But the noises from the other rides, air release valves, made it impossible for Autumn to enjoy it. 
But she stayed on the entire time.
Haley STILL enjoying the ride.. I think she rode this ride a total of 12 times!! Good thing ALL rides were free with admission!
Here are the pictures Autumn took.. and one that daddy took..
Autumn’s view of the house from her carseat.
Stopping to fill-up the gas tank.
Haley.. probably looking through her bag for some toys.
