Good Clean Fun

Seth is now the proud owner of two crowns (on his teeth). He had a dental appointment a couple of weeks ago that showed some fairly serious cavities on his back two molars. He also has two tiny cavities in his front teeth. I am very glad these are his baby teeth but I am nervous about his future teeth. My two older boys have inherited my straight, fairly cavity free teeth but my luck ran out with Seth. He also has two bottom front teeth that are fused together. Anyway, he was amazing at the dentist. Well actually, I should say the dentist was amazing to him. He looked so tiny in the big dental chair but both the dental tech and the dentist could not have been more kid friendly. They let me stay in there with him for the hour long appointment. We decided to try laughing gas and local anesthetic to get the fillings done but that we would stop and reschedule it for general anesthesia if he didn't tolerate that. He didn't flinch an inch! I was so proud of him.

Kim now has a new torch and a kiln for her glass beads. You can see a few of her beads here.

Mt Etna sent up a gigantic plume of ash yesterday. We got a warning to stay inside because the ash is terrible for your lungs. We had been gaga over the gorgeous pristine snow sugar coating the mountain and now it is black and gray. I forgot to take a picture. If you get a chance and a hankering, go check out the rest of this guy's album of Mt Etna's recent antics - some gorgeous shots.

Jake's birthday party was today. Whew. Boy birthday season is finally over. There is an unlimited supply of boys on our street alone which means that it is not possible to have less than twelve kids at a party. I lost count but I think there was twelve or thirteen today. For the birthday craft, we felted soap. Whaaaaaa, you say? It is a way of taking fiber, wrapping it around the soap and then rubbing it in water until it turns to felt. We had a blast. Plenty of pictures in the photo gallery.
