01/29/09: Dentist

Today was major survival day. The kids and I had to go to 'town,' this time for the dentist. We were there for 3 hours-that was just cleanings and check-ups. Then we had pack meeting tonight which I have to help with so we were there early and stayed late with set up and clean up.
