teeth and eyes

i've been having crazy headaches for a few months so i thought i'd check in with the eye dr.
i'm  near sighted and got an rx for some glasses, so i took lexi (and addie) with me to pick some frames.
we all had fun trying on glasses.
lex says she makes these look good...
then frankie had fun with us too when we picked them up.
glasses are so fun.
unless you have to wear them every day.
(which i don't)
we also went to the dentist.
or, addie and lexi did.
chris was supposed to go too but was up throwing up all night so we had to cancel his appt.
addie's 20 teeth look great. :)
i made a deal with the kids that if they didn't have any cavities i would give them $100. now i'll be the first one to admit that sometimes dental hygiene doesn't matter when it comes to cavities, but neither one likes to floss and i figured that i'd rather pay them to start taking better care of their teeth then pay the dentist. they were both counting on their $, but chris got sick and lex had cavities. :( she also needs braces (has needed them, again) but doesn't want them. we found out that she really needed them (did i mention, again?!) a few years ago and she fought me on it. i was prepared to force her to get them and pay for braces (again!) but then i decided to choose my battles, and this is just not one i am willing to fight. i do think she'll regret not getting braces now, but that will just have to be one of life's lessons. her back teeth are super hard to get too, hence the cavities.
and there's our teeth and eyes for ya.
