Tomorrow! Tomorrow!, One Thing They Do Agree On, and Birthday Fun

Beth and I went to see a production of Annie, put on by the home school academy at our church. It was grade school through high school students, and it was really good! One night they served dessert and the second night was dinner. We went to the dessert night.

 

We learned the girl who was supposed to play Annie got sick two days before the show so C, (in red) a fourth grader knew all the lines, choreography, and music... but was too scared to sing. So they had a high schooler sing off stage (with a mic) and C lip-synced the entire show! And I didn't find this out until after the show! We couldn't tell! She was that good! I heard the original Annie was there for the second night, so she got her moment too! 

Poppy, Moxie and Maya are learning to love tolerate each other. Moxie even got brave enough to come out and sort of face Poppy. Poppy is so excited to have 'someone' to play with but the cats don't like her kind of play. 😊

So far so good

"Come On! Let's PLAY!!"

NOPE!!

 But there is one thing they agree on ~

Bubbles!!

My birthday was on the 17th and when I went into work there was a Happy Birthday banner, some flowers, candy... the office is closed on Fridays so I have no idea who did it! I sent a text to who I think did it but she never responded. It was so fun to see this when I came around the corner!

The girls celebrated my birthday and Father's Day together and they got us tickets to a Seahawks game in October! Chuck and I have only been to one other game and we're excited to go again. We might need to buy some new football gear!

Bubbles, Furniture, and Anesthesia

We have learned that the pets love bubbles. Well, Poppy and Moxie love them, Maya isn't too sure about these glistening things that float and then disappear right before your eyes. See Maya protecting herself in the cardboard fort?

 

Poppy is an absolute maniac with them. We get the bubbles out about once a day and give these guys a workout!

 

Some friends were getting rid of an old table and I've been wanting one behind the couch for keys and stuff right by the door. Now the cats use it as a perch to look out the window and earlier today we were looking for Poppy and Chuck spotted her laying under it. It's getting a lot of use!

At Beth's last dentist appointment he mentioned she had a cavity and the tooth needed to come out. He said the tooth looked really fragile and he was afraid it would break into tiny pieces so she had to have oral surgery. I was nervous about it so I waited until the morning of the appointment (the 25th) and tried to be casual (she knew she was going to the dentist to have a tooth pulled but that was all) when I told her the doctor was afraid the tooth would break so they were going to give her special medicine that would let her go to sleep and when she woke up we'd go home. She was very nervous when we were walking into the building.

We got her checked in and they let me come back to the room. I could tell it was sterile so I just stood at the door while they put on the BP cuff and put a paper hat on her. I told her I needed to go move the car (I had actually parked in the wrong area) and I'd be right back. I sat in the car for about 10 minutes, went into the waiting room, grabbed a magazine, and I'm not kidding, the nurse came out before I could even open it, to tell me they were done and she was ready to go! 

They wheeled her out and helped her into the car. She was so groggy! I helped her into the house and as I'm unlocking the door she quietly says, "I just wanna take a nap." I laid her on the couch and she was out! The next day she said she didn't remember being in the wheel chair!

The tooth came out in one piece, there was very little swelling, and she hasn't had any pain. I gave her ibuprofin before she went to bed that night but she hasn't had any pain at all. All of these things were such an answer to prayer!  She stayed home from work on Thursday and Friday, and she's doing great. Looking forward to church tomorrow. That pink thing on her arm is the stretchy gauze stuff that covered the IV site.
