On Saturday, we went to a nearby school for their kid's day america. we have never been, but we had nothing else going on, and everything was free, so we decided to check it out. basically it is a health and wellness day. they had dentists there checking the kids teeth, eye exams were being given, massages, the chiropractors were there doing tests. here are toya's and jordan's test results for their back and feet. we learned from these, that both of the kids were flat footed. i guess we will be making a trip to the dr.s to get them checked out. the first two are toya's, and the last two are jordan's. we didn't have the girls done because they never would have sat still for it.

jordan's back (his is on the right, but supposed to look like the left)

they had face painting and free popcorn. we headed outback of the school and they were serving hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, and sodas (i thought the soda was especially funny for a health fair). they also had tables set up so the kids could decorate their own cookies and eat them. they loved that. they had a firetruck and an ambulance set up for the kids to go inside and take a tour. they especially loved the firetruck, i think because daddy is a firefighter. they took turns sitting in the seat and "driving" and then trying on the helmet. toya had to hold the helmet for the girls because it was so heavy, it kept pulling their head backwards. we then went to the ambulance. while the twins were in there, another set of twins came in. these were boys and were about 2-3 yrs. older than the girls. it was still kinda neat. they also had a really nice playground, so when we were done with the ambulance, i took them over to play. they played for about 30 min. and then went to play in the bounce house. we didn't stay long overall, but the kids had alot of fun. it was a little streesful on me since i took them by myself, but we managed just fine! here is a slideshow of our day:
now, here are some new pics of the kids. these dresses are the ones that my mom bought for the girls when they were in n.c. visiting my sister and her hubby and baby grayson. it was finally a little cooler so they got to wear them. they looked soo cute! when we went back to grammy's, they got the sunglasses and they looked like they came straight out of the 60's! :) here are the pics:

after the morning service, we clean part of the church. while we are cleaning, the girls have figured out how to get the microphone to work and will sing in the microphone. it is really funny. usually i forget the camera, but i happened to have it and did a video (the reason they do not complete the song is because they are too distracted by the cups....lol). here is the video (it's only a couple of minutes long):

Hey, I can relate to the flat feet. I've had them all my life. When I was a kid, I hated walking. I still don't like walking all that much. You don't get a lot of support with no arches and it's hard to find a really good shoe. I love the dresses. The girls look so cute in them.
OH MY!!! What a cute video!! I laughed SO hard!! Love the little dresses! They look so good in them!
Too Cute! They are growing up too fast!!! It is amazing all the "free" things you find to do. You go girl!
i love the dresses they are soo cute. i really enjoyed the video-i love to hear them talk and sing.
Where did your mom get those dresses??? I LOVE them!!!
Flat feet- ALL my kids have them. I have them. It is a genetic thing I am told. Joseph and Nicholas are so bad they are wearing braces for support (as I am). PLEASE take them to the dr. They will get SO much more pain if they do not have arch support. Since Joseph was re-fitted with the supports, he can run and jump and play longer (still wondering if that is a good thing! LOL) Here is a link to what they just got: http://www.surestep.net/about.html
When you have flat feet you can see, by looking at them from behind, how their ankle pronate. It is really cool to see how these orthodics straighten them up. nicholas is finally taking steps now with these on.
Good luck!! LMK how it goes at the dr!
The kids are all darling, especially the dresses your mom found.
