BLING!

I took Nicole to get her top braces today.  They will put the bottom braces on in a month or two.  I told her that she should like them as much as she loves "bling" on everything else (note the sunglasses and hat!), but she insists, "These aren't bling!"

Of course she chose blue bands when they let her chose her color for this month.  Each time she goes they will give her thicker wires until they get to the size they need.

After she got them, we were in Hobby Lobby and it started storming.  We were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the rain to slow down before we tried to get to the car.  It lightened and thundered at exactly the same time and Nicole hollered, "Oh God that was right in front of me and my mouth is full of metal!"    I asked her if her teeth were tingling.  She was NOT amused.  Of course her Daddy asked her if she could open her mouth and find a radio station playing Hannah Montana.
