Rain, rain go away

We have had rain on and off since Saturday and it's now Thursday.  Yesterday was a work day and apparently my children were bad.  The babysitter left me a note telling me about their insubordination.  I got home at 9pm and, of course, everyone was asleep until the boy with tooth pain woke-up.  I sat and rocked him for a half hour.  He is getting two molars and also two more bottom teeth that seem to be growing into each other in a "T" shape.  It seems strange and he is not himself.

In the midst of rain, Addie and I went to vote on Tuesday in our primaries.  When we got to the voting center, Adelaide was very disappointed to find out that Barack Obama was not there.  She thought we were going to his house.  She said, "Can we invite him to our house some day?"  That is one of her favorite questions...She either wants to invite someone to our house or have them invite us to their house.

Meanwhile, back to the tooth topic, we learned that Elias has his first cavity.  I was quite dismayed as I have never had a cavity.  But, his teeth are very porous.  He ratted me out to the dentist and said over and over, "Well, my mom never flosses my teeth."  Truth be told, I can barely get the floss in there.  But, now there are some new children's flossers and we are using them night and day.  He likes to keep one under his pillow for easy access.  He also thinks that getting a cavity is cool because he will have a silver tooth--like a pirate.  I think he'll feel differently when they fix the cavity.  I sure hope so and, no, he's not getting a silver filling.
