How many teeth does an alligator have?

I have three dental appointments for the kids lined up today and I'm thinking that three pairs of beastie teeth might equal one big gator.

Our weekend was full of soccer games, baseball games, and welding. We even snuck a little golf tournament action in there. I continued my P90X regimen and had two soccer games of my own last night.

Right foot is killing me, other than that I'm in one piece.

A couple cups of coffee cures all that ails a soul. I'll be back in the studio in between trips to the dentist, and I'm hoping the right leg will touch the left leg for the first time today.

From what I read, 74-80 teeth in your average 'gator.

That's odd, today is dental day for my family, as well. I had my turn in the chair early, and then my wife headed off to get fitted for a root canal (ugh).

Each Beastie has 20 teeth. Isabel had one little cavity and the big two had zero. I decided to get my teethies cleaned while I was there, so if you add my total in, I think we have the gator beat.

It's so much easier when we schedule our kids to visit the dentist on the same day. SO much easier! And you got your teeth cleaned too? HA! That's getting things done!

By the way....how is the Mola Mola doing now that you're a couple weeks into the new workout routine?

I just got back from the dentist about 10 mins ago. They spent 20 minutes "freezing" my mouth only to discover that no matter how much the gave me, I STILL had feeling in my teeth. They told me to come back another day for a re-try. Bummer. So here I am...left side of my face has no feeling (including my tongue), but the tooth they needed to work? Nope...full feeling there. Agh!
