Who Needs Candy?

I finally went to the doctor today after dealing with some sinus/cough issues for 2 weeks. Turns out I have a viral infection. As in 'there's nothing we can really do' viral infection. Ugh!

So what do you do when you cart your two restless daughters to the doctor's office only to wait in the waiting room for almost an hour?

You entertain them by taking pictures.

They are getting ready to spend the night with their grandparents tonight. Yippeee!!!

This is when I told O I did NOT want her to eat a lot of candy at her grandmother's.


She answered by saying, "Are you going to be there watching me?"


"No, but I need to be able to trust you."


"Okay, Mom. Now take some pictures of my tonsils."


Then she said, "Mom, what are tonsils?" Ha!

These were taken right before E started using O's braided pigtails as reigns while O galloped through the lobby.

Imagine what candy does to them.

Is it any wonder as soon as their grandparents pull out of our driveway with my darling angels, I have BIG plans to take a nap?

What goes around comes around I have always heard. Remember the bowling alley. You and your brother always, always, always acted like hyennas. I am so glad to know that this is payback time. But in retrospect you both did turn out okay, I guess.
