Rylee vs the Dentist: Take 2

 Rylee did have to go back to the dentist.  He wanted to put a spacer in where the tooth had been- the tooth that had been pulled a few weeks prior.  Rylee was mostly cooperative, but very stressed out.  The dentist was super patient and nice and he was able to get it on after much work.  Apparently the tooth he wanted to attach it to was an odd shape and the spacer was tricky to get placed.

Rylee whined a lot and cried a little.

But Dr. Buttars was incredibly kind to her and was able to get it done.

Random things

I made fuge.  It made me think of my dad, so I took this picture.  But I'm pretty sure I forgot to send it to him.

The middle school PTO sold pies again this year.  I provided 8 pies for them to sell. And I found boxes to stash them in, which made my life much easier.

Rylee borrowed someone else's glasses and wanted to know how she looked in them.  Spoiler:  she looked cute!

And Mother Nature apparently did not get the memo that it is the end of November and these temperatures are NOT okay!

Why I love Playing Telestrations with the Girls

Smart Cookie

I had to attend an awards assembly for Rylee. 

I don't even know what she got.

Something for being an awesome kid. 

 This is her with her fabulous teacher, Mrs. Nisely.  We like her a lot.

My cute little goober. 

Rylee with her gang of hooligans.  I love these 4 girls nd I'm so glad Rylee has good friends this year. 

 And we had to take this photo because it is so cute. 

Totally unrelated..... Marian got a card and was so confused as to why someone would send her a card for no reason.  She was delighted though. 

Making Macarons

If you know Rylee, you know she has a slight Macaron addiction.  Not to be confused with macaroons.  Maracrons are hard to get and are expensive.  I did google how to make them and it looked overwhelmingly complicated, so I refused to.  

Rylee is nothing if not persistent.  I'm sure it comes from being the overlooked last child!  She nagged for months. She printed out the recipe and made sure we had all the ingredients.  So finally, I told her she was welcome to make them.  I figured if they came out terribly, that was okay, then she'd know how hard they were to make.  

Her sisters assisted with reading and following the directions, and lo and behold!  They came out nicely!  If we'd figured out how to make them the right size, they would have been perfect.  As it was, they looked nice and tasted delicious.  I was really impressed!
