Who-cakes!

So, we had a fun morning/early afternoon today! A few days ago I would have been surprised to hear myself say that about today, considering I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday morning. However, I've been recuperating quickly - wonderful! I went in to the dentist a few weeks ago for a check up and they said I really needed to get my top two wisdom teeth removed. The bottom two were taken out back when I was young and spritely!. ;) Now that I'm nearing 26, I'm on the 'old' end of the ideal time to get them pulled. Anyway, I was scared to get this done, because Ben wasn't going to be home and I was afraid that it would hurt like the dickens afterwards. But, thankfully, it hasn't been too big of a deal. Dear Melinda watched my kids while I was at the dentist, Ben got home a little early from work, and Ashley even brought us dinner - goodness sakes! I'm just so well cared for. :) I've also been hopped up on vicodin - that's always fun! It reminds me of the good old days when I had a bottle of percocet pills for after labor pains with Becca. Those were the days... (sigh)...

Anyway, this morning I woke up feeling pretty good and not too terribly swollen. So, I went with Ben and the kids to attend his dad's birthday celebration. We met up at IHOP for a themed brunch. Afterwards we were to see Horton Hears a Who and IHOP is doing a promotional thing I guess and serving Green Eggs and Ham and Who-Cakes. It was a lot of fun! And the green eggs were actually quite good - done with spinach for the green. I was particularly glad to be able to eat something - the eggs were nice and soft and yummy! Yesterday I only ate ice cream and pudding, so I was definitely hungry for real food!! After eating we went to the movie and it was really great. I definitely recommend that everyone go see Horton - I thought it was funny and cute and the animation was just super. Jim Carey was hillarious!

On a side note, Becca is just a doll. Seriously. I LOVE this girl - as she grows older, she is just getting cuter and cuter and her personality is just bursting right out of her. She cracks me up with her funny faces and silly noises and the cute way she crawls and cruises. She's just great. I also noticed that I can finally put little clips in her hair - hooray for girls! She has the funniest hair right now - it's long enough to stick up in weird places when she gets up from naps and will look so silly. It's also relatively fine, but thicker than Emma's was at this age. Emma was a real baldy even past turning one. So - back to Becca's funny personality - I took a little video of her practicing her artistic skills. It's so cute to see her really start to play with Emma and join in on the day-to-day activities. It makes me feel like our family really has grown to 4 and isn't just 3 and a little baby.
