Our Great Visit with Flat-Stanley-etta

We have company! She arrived in an envelope in our mailbox and boy are we ever excited!!
Today was the busiest day of our visit. We packed up and spent the day in the city! This is a pretty exciting thing for us to do because when we go to the city we take care of appointments and shopping that we don't have available locally. It is almost a two hour trip, but the time to travel will vary every single trip, since you never know when you are going to get stuck behind a horse and buggy, a slow moving tractor, or road construction. Today, we managed to find all three!Where ever we go, we always buckle up!



Our first item of business was four appointments with the pediatric dentist. Her Royal Highness was seen for the first time since she was two weeks old. She had her first cleaning and X-ray and was a perfect little patient. The hygeinist remembered assisting the dentist with the procedure almost three years ago!

X-rays show that she has a perfect little permanent tooth waiting to fill the spot where her natal tooth was extracted. Since I stayed with my little peanut for her first cleaning, Flat-Stanley-etta offered to stay with the bigger boys to be a support to them!


Watching TV with Human Resources!


We didn't get a photo of the President at his appointment. He wouldn't sign my photo release allowing me to post his photo on my blog...

After working up an appetite at the dentist, we got to have lunch at sonic, which is a very rare treat!


Everybody say grilled CHEESE...

The Attorney is letting Flat-Stanley-etta try out some of his fruity flavored drink!


The fun doesn't stop here! We got to go to Target and do a little shopping for Her Royal Highness' fast approaching third birthday. The bead store to pick up a few items to finish a couple of projects! Flat-Stanley-etta got a little carried away in here. She tried to bathe in a bowl of blue pearls!

After the pearl bath, the fabric store and finally Wal-mart for some much needed milk and bananas. After loading up the groceries and driving home, we unloaded! Silly Flat-Stanley-etta thought she would be clever and sneak a ride into the house in the bag of bananas. Unfortunately she hurt her arm! No need for panic because I'm really good with bandaids! In no time, she was fixed up as good as new! And Amazingly, despite her great pain, she just kept on smiling through the whole ordeal!



Ahhhh! The day is done and here is the picture of the crew! What a busy day!

We went to the dentist too yesterday! Only Flatt-Etta didn't come with us. Y'all must be special to get to have her w/you.
