henry has teeth, a play, a wall, and some naughties

henry got his first tooth on november 1st

he was up a lot of the night ahead of that

and we were relieved to know why the next day

we let him celebrate by eating french fries

 i really like henry's head

and his fuzzy hair 

 on sunday i let henry take a nap on me before church

it's nice to take a break and just hold him for a while

 after church the kids made masks

memorized lines and put on their real first play for us

 it was super cute

 here's where we're at with the plank wall

we ran out of wood and haven't had a chance to work on it in a few days

but hopefully we'll get the rest up tonight

michael has done such an awesome job with it

we're really happy with it so far

after it's all up we plan on painting it white and adding a mantle

at least on this side

 i try to enjoy my time with olive while eleanor and henry occasionally nap

 speaking of eleanor...

she hasn't been great about napping now that she can consistently get out of her crib

and take her clothes and diapers off...despite our old trick of covering it with a cloth diaper cover

she also loves to trash the bathroom with water and toothpaste

and color on our kitchen cupboards

and lock me out of the van

and run away at stores and church

she's a definite handful right now

it's a little bit exhausting

 we took all the kids with us to vote last night

everyone hated us for it

it was really busy and crowded without our million kids with us... 

 we haven't really had medical or dental insurance consisitently for the last several years

other than while i was pregnant

and you can't get x-rays then so..i was pretty nervous to go to the dentist

and get my teeth cleaned and x-rayed today

but i only had 2 cavities! i was so happy

i haven't had a cavity filled in like 10 years so i really expected it to be worse

i'm so grateful we have good insurance now...hooray!

 after the dentist i picked the kids up from my friend melissa

and took them to chick fill a just for fun

i realized i never take the little ones anywhere just for fun 

like i always did with noah and hazel when they were younger

 they were pretty cute lunch dates

 henry got his second tooth yesterday

(and didn't sleep again last night..)

and i got a picture of them today

pretty cute, right?
