 Kasen LOVES strawberries and he pops them in his mouth like candy. Some days I just find him standing by the strawberry patch pointing. I can pick a bowl full and he will just go to town and eat them all himself. He is a fruit man! Except all melons including watermelon. None of my kids like them and TJ says they don't just because I don't. I have tried many times to get them to eat melons and as babies even before they knew any better. They always spit them out. Just goes to show that watermelon tastes like watery styraphone.

 Here is the all time most ridiculous bribe of the history of bribes and I am so ashamed and embarrassed. It was TJs idea. We had been to the Orthodontist several times with each attempt failed of getting Tallie's spacer put into her mouth. I tried sitting on her, with 5 girls prying her mouth open. NOTHING. I think I scarred her for life on so many levels.

BUT we had already paid $1500 to have one molded for her mouth and there was no getting my money back. Tj knew that Tallie had been saving her money for the new American Girl doll this year and he told her he would buy it for her if she got the spacer. He made a good  point saying it was either throw away $1500 or pay another $100 and get it done.

She got it done but it was painful and I have never seen her so honestly scared, nervous and anxious for ANYTHING. She made herself almost pass out multiple times. 

She was totally hyperventilating.

I'm glad its over and so is she.

Chloe asks for a date with me or Tj every Saturday.

She does not agree with taking turns with the others or doesn't think TJ and I need dates together either.

I'm trying to get her cooking with me to squeeze in some extra Chloe time.
