Almost time for "trick-or-treaters!"

This has been a good week at work for me and at school for David. Nothing too major has gone on at work. Quite of few kids are getting sick, so our numbers are down. This Friday we are taking a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Mom's are going to drive us, but I will actually have a couple car seats in the Honda as well! David got to fill his first cavity today on a fake tooth! He said that it was really fun. Tonight we took about fifteen minutes to carve our new pumpkin. The squirrels ate the other ones I got, so we're keeping this one inside until Friday night when we'll put it out. I took a picture of Gideon today after he ate a sucker that he was not supposed to bring to school. Isn't he cute? I couldn't even get upset at him for it! Look how good my new pajamas look! :)

A Birthday Success!!

Finally, a post

It's been a long time since our last post! Shame on us. Right now it is nap time at school and I brought my laptop so that I could get some work done...but I've decided to blog. Lots of funny things have been happening at preschool recently. For example, Gabe decided that the playground was a good place to potty. I turned around to find him standing with his pants at his ankles, relieving himself. Also, my new thing to say in class is "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." I say this when everyone gets upset about getting the color marker that they want. Friday, Jack's Mom came to school in the morning and said that she had made chili the night before and that Jack didn't want to eat it. She then told him that this was what she made for dinner and that if he wanted desert he would eat his chili. Jack then shrugged his shoulders and began eating, quoting me..."you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Mom came to town Thursday night and it was a blast. She went to work with me Friday and got to meet everyone, and we got to go shopping all day on Saturday. It was really fun to get to show her around the house and have her notice all the little details that we have worked so hard on. Well, nap time is almost over...but we'll do better posting in the future!

Waxing Practical

This Wednesday, we have our first lab practical, or hands on test in Dental Morphology.  I wanted you to see some of the things that we have been doing in there each week.  "Waxing" is a technique used in dentistry in the production of crowns, diagnostic models, and dentures.  It provides a material and strategy that is easy to change and duplicate.  The last few weeks, we have learned to wax the front tooth and upper canine.  It is a nice break in the afternoon from class in the waxing lab.  Here is a picture of my work.  Hope it provides a better image of some of the things we do at school!
