Last night was sad for some of the pumpkins at the zoo.

















On Hallows Eve the pumpkins will return .................... and rule the world!!!

The Zoo Review

Doctors.......

The muscles of the cheeks and lips are attached to the gums and tissue of the mouth by a piece of soft tissue called a frenum. Sometimes a frenum can be attached too high on the gums causing either recession or spaces between teeth.

You can clearly see Annie's dilemma!

A Frenectomy is a simple procedure where either part or all of the frenum in question is removed in order to return a healthy balance to the mouth. (same procedure for tongue tie just on the bottom)

Annie is doing fine!!! She had some pain yesterday but the tylenol with codeine helped as well the steady diet of ice cream and pudding. For those of you who have boys and have had to go thru the circumcision ......this is about the same. I hated seeing her go thru it .......just as it was horrible to take my babies for that other simple procedure. I felt sick sick sick .......It's all about cosmetics now isn't it!!! Anyway this is Annie's first step in improving her smile and I can NOT convince her to do an after photo for you.

I love fall

I enjoy the change of the season. The color changes everything.On Saturday Annie, Lila and I went to the Corn Maize with the Brownies Troop. It was fun .....but the maize was a bit muddy. On Halloween weekend the farm has a haunted hay ride and the corn maize is open. I might (bravely) take the older one with some friends. They have a pumpkin patch and we did pick a bunch to bring home. The farm has a nice picnic and play area. There is a sanbox full of corn kernels and that is where Lila could have spent the afternoon. The four wheeler that pulls a cow train was enjoyed by everyone.

On Sunday we decorated the house for Halloween and aaaagh cleaned the back yard. You know put away all the stuff from summer to get ready for snow.
