A couple video clips from Maine

Drunk or not? You be the judge!
No babies were actually intoxicated in the making of this video!


Comedy Club
We went out to a comedy club in Bar Harbor and DJ was chosen to be the subject of a dream sequence skit. They basically asked him to run through his day from the time he woke up until going to the club. That morning we got up early and went on the Divers Ed boat trip, out to a late lunch on the pier and DJ ordered a Ruben, back to the house to do some tree/brush trimming, lost the power with a thunderstorm before we had a chance to shower, the electric came on in the nick of time and we saved everyone in Bar Harbor from smelling us, went out to dinner, the guys were looking at an interesting female statue and the waitress assumed they were looking at the fish tank behind it... not ogling the figure and commented on the fish and then we headed over to the comedy club. They also asked him some basic questions about family etc... and to give a few adjectives to describe each of us. This is what they came up with.
Oh, and the loud laughing is from the camera man... Will! ;-)




The kids running around the Band

Back to the dentist

Marina got the splint off her front teeth and so far the damaged tooth looks like it has tightened up again and not turned brown. The dentist felt positive about it sticking around but we won't know it's fate for sure for about six months.

My 2nd Red Sox Game

Last week my dad, grandma, my sister Violet, and I went to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park! It was alot of fun for me! We had a great time! The Red Sox played the Texas Rangers! As I said this was our second game and it had awesome seats in state street pavilion but we still didn't catch any balls! The Red Sox won 18-16! The game went till around 11:00 p.m. and we got home around 2:00 in the morning! It was a long night! We were super-tired when we arrived home but it was worth it! We can't wait to go again soon!

Igloo accident

I thought it would be a lot of fun to have an inflatable igloo for the pool. I never guessed it would prove to be a dangerous toy. The day we got back from Maine all the kids were sick of being couped up in the car so we decided to go for a swim. The igloo had arrived while we were away so this was to be it's maiden voyage. Zoe and Violet assisted me in inflating the icy home. When it was Violet's turn she accidentally got her beloved hair caught in the motor of the air pump. Seconds later we were able to shut it off and there was that unmistakable smell of burnt hair in the air. She ended up losing about a 6 inch section of her hair. I am not sure if she was more scared that her hair got caught or that she damaged her locks.
Finally the igloo was moved to the pool and the girls were playing inside. The toy itself is pretty cool with a proper igloo entrance in the front and an entrance that can be entered through the bottom. DJ decided that he would join them inside. I warned him that he was too big but my words of wisdom fell on deaf ears. Minutes later the igloo had flipped on it's side and Marina had gone flying and landed on DJ's knee. Her front tooth was pushed back and wiggly. She was unable to bite down because her teeth did not line up. It was Sunday afternoon and luckily I had the dentist's cell phone number. I hated to bother him but I was really worried about waiting until Monday because many tooth issues need to be dealt with right away for the best outcome. He met me at the office 5 minutes later and determined that the best course of action would be to administer Novocaine, push her tooth back into place and place a splint on it. I could not believe how well behaved she was and she did not even shed a tear the whole time. The dentist was great about numbing the gum first and never showing her the needle. Now we have to wait and see if she can retain the tooth and that is doesn't turn brown. She will get the splint off in two weeks and so far all looks good but he warned me that the damage may not show up for several months. I am keeping my fingers crossed because it will probably be 4 more years before she gets her permanent teeth.
