Another Day at the ESPN House

My friend Robin and her family were in town this week and came over to visit last night.  Robin is my oldest friend - I met her in 4th grade when we moved to the desert.  Even though we have lived in separate states for most of our adult life, we still keep in touch.  It was great to see her, Trent and her twin daughters.  They also got to witness a normal night at the ESPN house which included Bia throwing a royal fit about what she was wearing and running around in her underwear refusing to put on her jeans, Chatty losing a tooth and leaving her bloody paper towel on the ground (yes she lost another one!), the girls pretending like they were WWF wrestlers with each other (I thought only boys did that), etc.  But the highlight of the night was when Bia told Miss Robin she should go in Mommy's bathroom because Daddy always poops in his bathroom.  Classic huh?  Robin - I hope you, Trent and the girls will come back again and that my family didn't scare you away! 

And no I didn't take any pictures - I was a total slacker.

Pearly Whites & Princesses

So I completely forgot to blog about our exciting visit to the dentist this week! As you can tell by the lack of pictures in this post, I didn't take my camera with me. All of the girls had appointments to get their teeth cleaned. Mr. ESPN met us there so he could manage the troops (aka wild Indians) while I got my teeth cleaned. It was Bia's first visit to Dr. Angel (yes that really is our dentist' name). She was extremely hesitant at first but warmed up by the end of the visit and let the dentist count her teeth and brush them a little. Chatty was super excited to go back to the dentist. She did great and we could see from her X-Rays that she should be losing a few more baby teeth soon! You could see the dollar signs flash before her eyes as she thought about all the loot she would be raking in for those teeth. I tell ya the excitement never ends around here - not!

I am taking a 1/2 day off today and meeting my good friend A and her daughter for lunch. Afterwards A and I are going shopping. Maybe with her help I can actually find some clothes for work. Plus I need some new running shoes. I swear I go through a pair every 2 months or so. Yesterday I ran six miles and my feet were killing me. I came to the following conclusion: 6 Miles + Current Running Shoes = Painful feet for Mrs. ESPN! Tomorrow we have a princess birthday party for our good friend ANC! Luckily Chatty can still fit in her Cinderella dress from last Halloween (hopefully the Velcros will hold otherwise we may have Cinderella's Flasher Cousin). I asked my neighbor if we could borrow a princess dress for Bia .. we had to stage Operation Princess Dress Handoff last night so her 3 year old wouldn't see her giving it to me! She texted me last night and we met in the middle of the street for the hand off and low and behold her daughter runs out complaining she couldn't find her dress. Good thing her mom had put it in a bag! Have a great weekend!!
