The library is open again!
The City has been expanding the library during the winter and spring to add a new children's wing. During construction, story time was canceled. When the construction was done, ,the library closed for a few weeks to rearrange books and move into the new wing. It finally opened last Saturday. Wednesday was the first k-6 story/ activity time. So, we packed up adn went. Aaron, Cory and Carissa attended and learned about bugs. Patrick looked for books with me, then played with the stuffed animals and puzzles. Edmund and Andrew hung out in the stroller, and tested to see how many times mom would pick up stuffed animals and return them to them.
Here they are with their crafts, fly swatters with bugs squished on them. The librarian sent home a craft pack so he could make one at home. In the afternoon, the kids made up plays about bugs for Andrew and Edmund. It was an interactive play; Edmund became the hero, and taught Andrew that the bugs were not scary.

Surgery
Yesterday I went in for surgery to remove a swollen patch on my lower inner lip. It has been swollen for over two years, but with the pregnancy and first year with the twins, I put of the surgery until this summer. My dentist/oral surgeon said it was probably saliva glands releasing inward instead of outward, creating a swollen area, but it was also possible that I had a benign tumor or something else.
I wasn't supposed to eat anything in the morning, but that completely slipped my mind, so when I arrived they asked if I had eaten anything that day. Duh! After a minute or so of discussion, the oral surgeon said I could have local instead of general anesthetic, so I was able to go ahead and get it done.
The surgery wasn't to bad, and I was so glad to be under local instead of general anesthesia, and it was all done within twenty minutes. The pain for this past day hasn't been to bad. The stitches are more annoying anything. I have found that an icy smooth helps when my lips start to bother me. Patrick has figured out that I am having a yummy smoothie because my lip hurts, so he has said to me at least 30 times today, "Mom, my lip hurts."
