Autumn Got Braces!!!

 Poor Spencer woke up w/ a 101.3 fever, so he stayed home from school. Luckily Frank has a SUPER flexible schedule, so he was able to drive him up to Oklahoma to go to the free Indian clinic. They said it's a sinus infection & gave him some medication.

 I left work early today to take Autumn to the orthodontist again to have her braces put on. Here is is before ...

 ... and here she is during. They got her 3D prints of her teeth & put the braces into plastic molds. Then they were able to just put the molds on and have the braces stick right to her teeth. But as you can see on the big front one, some of them didn't stick. They had to manually add 6 braces on. It took a lot longer than normal, so they gave her a $5 Sonic gift card so she could go get a shake. That was awesome, b/c today is 1/2 price shakes all day!

 Autumn was such a trooper & did such a great job even though she said it hurt. Here's her before & after.

 We got home, had dinner, and then Hayley (a new girl in the ward) came over for a play date. They did makeup, & Frank was even a good sport and let them do his makeup. UH OH! LOL!

 After the girls wiped all the goop off their faces, they decided to clean out Autumn's pumpkin that she got at the pumpkin patch.

 Frank said to go hang out in the bedroom & watch TV b/c he was working on a surprise for me. The surprise was that he got this new door handle & deadbolt for $20 (it's $100 at Home Depot). The old one had been sticking & was hard to open. It's so super nice & opens like a breeze. He's so good to me!!!

 After he was done w/ that, the girls begged him to carve the pumpkin for them. They had drawn the lines but didn't feel comfortable using a knife (I'm glad). I really don't like carving pumpkins at all, so I'm super happy that Frank was willing to do it. Yes, he still had his makeup on, and he answered the door with it on when Hayley's Dad came to pick her up! BA HA HA!

The girls had a good time together & I'm glad they got to know each other better. It's always hard to be the new kid, but Hayley's Mom said that Autumn has been so good about making Hayley feel loved & welcomed. That's my girl!!!
