Weekend Randomness

Dance class take 3 and Heidi gets an A!!!!

Heidi was all about dance! She went right in, did everything she was asked and had a ball. She must have been paying attention while she was just sitting last week because she knew how to do things the first time they were asked - the teacher even afterwards was like - she has a great memory and she was surprised she could do the moves.

The ONLY problem was now Heidi is almost TOO comfortable - she figured out she could lay on her belly and on the slick floor scoot backwards and thought it was super cool. Well then everyone was doing it.

We will need to remind Heidi to put her listening ears on for the next class :) I am just super happy she actually likes it and wants to do it!

Heidi and our neighbor kid Brynn - they are little buddies - its cute!

We finally went to the dentist - I say finally as it has been a very VERY long time for me and a pretty long time for Chris - so might as well go as a family. Heidi did great - actually really good - BUT she has two cavities - I could not believe it! I feel so bad for her. We have an appointment on Wednesday with a pediatric dentist to see what we can do. As for me, I have four cavities - yes four - but honestly - for the length I haven't been to the dentist - I'm surprised it isn't 20. That being said... this morning I went in to have two of them filled and not so successful...

Yes it is part mental and but also physical - the dentist asked if I felt numb and she was describing where I should feel numb and to be 100% honest - I was not numb where she said I should feel numb. Well she thought it was OK and proceeded anyways - she started to drill - a pain shot up my cheek and I was done. Done. I go back Friday to try again - and to be perfectly honest - my mouth didn't feel numb for another 20 minutes later - no lie. I remember why I hate the dentist - they are all mean and I think like to make you hurt. We will see how Friday goes...

Soccer was cancelled for the weekend due to the amount of rain we had the night before - so we played outside for a little bit. I wanted to take more pictures but Heidi didn't let me...

Heidi yelling at me to stop taking pictures...

So - we were all decked out - ready to represent the Huskers - and decided to take some pictures...

Heidi being cute and showing some dance moves...

I gave Heidi one little miniature chocolate bar... I think she enjoyed it...

And now a funny story from the weekend... Chris made LBC 5 - I think we're up to 5 - which was going to be his Christmas or Holiday Ale. He has been hunting down a beer making kit for awhile now - like stores sell out within 5 minutes. He finally finds one and we are ready to go. Well he cooks it like he normally does and there is always a step with letting it cool down (no ice or anything). He always puts the pot of beer in our wash tub/utility sink in the laundry room. Well... we forget that is also the place Heidi puts her dirty laundry...

Chris goes to check the temperature of the beer and sure enough Heidi's jeans are in the beer! Chris starts to laugh - I mean - you can't get mad when your child puts something where they are suppose to put something instead of throwing it on the ground.

So Heidi comes in and goes "Sorry daddy, I didn't know your beer was in there" Too cute.

Chris pulls her jeans out, we are all laughing and I'm like - aww - its adding to the flavor... but THEN... Heidi goes "I put my socks in there too, daddy can you get those out?" The socks were no where to be seen - they weren't found until the beer was strained.

Let's just say - Chris IS going to proceed with the beer - but this one may not be one for the general public or family... :)

Busy Busy Busy

We kept busy over the last week and weekend - which means - prepare yourself for a random post!


First up - we have mentioned a few times that Heidi likes to line things up - well she does it ALL THE TIME!. She was so proud of herself for lining up her cars and trains...

Next she lined up all her little figurines from Toy Story...

She is so proud...

Daddy had a sweet tooth and decided to run by a Dairy Queen and pick up a few items. Besides a good ole Dilly Bar - I'm unfamiliar with these novelty treats from DQ - one being a cherry star bar or star kiss or something like that - I took one lick of the star bar and thought I licked the inside of a frosting container - not my cup of tea - but Heidi loved it!

Next -we're being attacked by aliens from outer space!!! No? I'm a dork - whatever - anyways - we were being attacked by Yellow Jackets - aka - small wasps that are aggressive! I knew we have some bees or whatever - but then one day when I went out for my walk - I had some follow me for two houses - hmm - then I'm sure Brew got stung and then on the front of the house - I kept hearing noises that I thought was bugs hitting the window - then I realized it was wasps - going into a hole in the wood and hitting the inside of our wall - so not cool. Time to call the exterminator - I couldn't help but take pictures as the poor guy had to put on a whole bee suit - and he needed it - he even said it was a pretty big nest by our tree! They even sprayed down our whole house - I was AMAZED at the number of dead spiders and bugs around our house - SO GROSS!

Moving on... for school Heidi had to decorate a poster with her favorite things - from family to friends to toys. I helped of course - but she picked out every picture and told me where to glue it and she added all the sparkles! One side note - yes - some family members did not make the poster - it isn't that she doesn't love you - but as I encouraged her to have everyone - she told me there wasn't going to be enough room for Thomas the Train and Bob the Builder.

Dance take 2! Pre-class really excited to go!

Ready and...

JUMP!

Last week she got a F - this week a C... First half of the class - she sat in a chair with the assistant - didn't want to participate - had one quick crying session - but calmed down - but at least she was IN the room... Then they pulled out the mats to do tumbling and stretching and Heidi pops out of the chair and wants to go! YEAH! She participated through the rest of the class! So there is hope! I was able to get two shots - sorry - we were looking through a one way mirror and couldn't use the flash - but you get the point.

So just when Heidi was getting use to an activity - why not throw another one on top of that - ha... well we did... soccer! Right after dance - we did a quick change and she was ready to go. At least this time - daddy was there with her almost the entire time to help. She did pretty good and actually participated.

She actually kicked the ball during the scrimmage... a future soccer star...

Sunday was such a beautiful day - 70 degrees, sunny, slight breeze - we had to take advantage and go to the zoo. Before we went, I asked Heidi to smile for the camera... a good one...

And what I typically get... I don't know what she is doing...

Onto the zoo... watching the elephants cross, flamingos, monkeys, polar bears and more...

Quick photo break...

And one last goofy story from the weekend and sorry no pictures from it (probably a good thing) - Heidi pooped and of course had us come look at it and her poop broke up into three chunks, a big one, medium one and a small one and Heidi goes: "Look... a daddy poop, a mommy poop, and a baby poop." Ha.
