New Additions.....and Subractions

Well, here is the subraction part of the blog post. Joshua complained of a sore tooth last Thursday so we flossed and mouthwashed to get the chunk of food that might be stuck loose. Friday he woke up with a swollen cheek, Friday night we went to the doctor who told us it was an abcess. Josh got 1/2 gram of antibiotic shot in each leg and we came back the next morning. They sent us to the dentist who confirmed it was a dead tooth. What??!! The dentist told us it is quite common when the dentist fills the original cavity sometimes the cavity will have reached the pulp without them knowing and it will continue to grow. Well, long story short Joshua had his tooth pulled yesterday and was so brave. It was pretty funky to see the tooth yanked with plain old pliars. Josh was so proud and kept it in a little box until the tooth fairy came and gave him a dollar bill. He now has a spacer between the other two teeth because it was a baby tooth and the other teeth have to leave a gap so the permanent tooth has a place to go. (Just another great story to tell for years to come, right?)

Here is the addition part of the post. (No I'm not announcing a pregnancy) This box came from Risae's new 10 cu ft. Chest Freezer. We were waiting to buy one with our tax return but Home Depot was selling their $279 freezer for $172. We went that day and bought it. It fits quite snugly between our computer desk and the fridge. Now we have to fill the dang think. Heck, one trip to Costco should do it. At least we can have room to freeze leftovers and buy lots of meat when it goes on sale. Also we'll be able to have more than one bag of frozen veggies at a time. You get pretty sick of corn when you've had it for 2 months straight. Jeff had only one thing to say, ICE CREAM!
Crazy kids! What's better than a box house?
