Another 1 bites the Dust!

Last month, Jacob lost his very first tooth. It was one of the bottom middle ones. Well, today he lost the other bottom middle one! So, he has this big gap in the bottom of his teeth. He really looks cute! He likes to put his teeth together and stick his tongue through! For his first tooth, he got $5 - just because it was the first one! So, it was so funny today when he said "Cool, tomorrow morning I'm gonna have $10, when I get $5 for this tooth and add it to my money from my first tooth!" I laughed and said, well we will have to see what the tooth fairy leaves you, remember the first tooth is special and you might not get the same this time. And his response, "Mom (he said it like I had no knowledge what so ever about the tooth fairy) she's cool and thinks I'm cool too, so I'm thinking she's gonna leave me $5 again!" I just smiled.
After I took some pics of Jake with the hole in his teeth (as he calls it) the boys were playing around so cute together. Of course this was immediately after two of them got in trouble for scheming together and squirting Jeff's shaving cream in the bath water. Supposedly, they thought it would make bubbles. Note - shaving cream DOES NOT make bubbles in the bath!!

Halloween Night

This year for Halloween I let Tyler and Ryan go trick or treating by themselves. Although, they stayed in our neighborhood and the one next to ours. They walked with their friends Scott, Trevor, Zak and Zane and for the most part it all went well. They did have two cell phones between them so Heather and I felt much better about the whole thing!! Heather and I took the younger ones out and had alot of fun. We hit the whole neighborhood! Throughout the neighborhood there were houses that had activities. Jake and Zack had fun at those houses. Jake especially liked the MCArthurs who had hangars on their garage door and you had to eat a donut off without using your hands! It was fun and all three boys came home with TONS of candy! I think we might still have some left to hand out next year for Halloween! (just kidding!!!) I hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Thriller!!!

Heather, Jill and I went to Tuacahn to see "Thriller" tonight! It was so much fun. There were funny parts and some pretty scary parts too (huh Jill??? haha) In the show were characters such as Frankenstein, his bride, vampires, zombies and the one and only Lorena Bobit!! It was tons of fun, thanks for inviting me Heather and give your mom a hug for me too!!

A string on a finger really works!!

At my kids elementary school I am the PTA president and back in September we had a contest on which class could make the best poster for our Bike Parade. Another parent and I judged the posters and came up with three classes that won and we told those classes that they would receive a treat. We had checked into a few ideas for treats and none of them worked out and then other things kept coming up like the fundraiser, etc. So, last week one of the 4th grade teachers hung this sign right by our PTA box. At the top, it said something like "Dear PTA, just a reminder that we can make really cool posters" and then had a big finger with a string around it to "remind" us that they won and they still didn't have their treat. Around the finger were lots of little ribbons. This 4th grade class actually spent some time making this poster! (Their second one actually!!) So, to play along with the teacher and HIS class (not mentioning any teachers names!!!) the secretary pinned the poster to my back, and she tied pieces of string around my fingers and earrings. I walked into the class and started saying "I know there is something I need to do but can't remember what it is and why do I have all these strings around my fingers?" And then I said, "Oh yeah!! I remember now!" And I pulled out popcorn balls for all the students. They all got a kick out of the treat and me making a fool of myself! Oh well, sometimes you just gotta be silly and play along! Here's the picture of me after I handed the treat out!

The tooth fairy is coming...

We had football games today and I had my camera all ready in my car to take pics of the boys and then it started raining! Hard actually! And we even had some hail! So, I left my camera in the car cause I didn't want to risk it! So, then we get home and start to settle down for the night and Jake comes over to me and says "I think my tooth needs to come out" It was hanging by one thread I think! I told Jake that we needed to pull it out. He said "No way, your not touching it mom"! I whispered to Jeff to grab a paper towel and follow me. We cornered him in the bathroom and managed to get it out. Jake's comment was "It's out?" Well, another milestone for me this year. My youngest child lost his first tooth! I can't believe it! The first tooth is always so exciting! It is actually sad for me to think that I will never again have a first tooth to pull!! Unless someone needs help! Let me know, I'm an expert!!!
