Sunday, November 8 --- Losing Teeth!

CJ lost his first tooth! He was not happy at first. He said that it hurt and the little speck of blood worried him. He was brushing his teeth and I was afraid he'd brush it out or swallow it in his sleep tonight so I pulled it....no root left... that thing was holding on by sheer will!



Kyle told CJ that if you put the tooth under your pillow, the tooth fairy will bring you a note and a 100 dollar coin. He meant 100 pennies....but that is what CJ heard and is happy to report and eager to accept. Hmmmmmm....that is one tall order for the tooth fairy!

We went to church today and next week is The Gift Sunday. Everyone is supposed to wear a tshirt from the church and a pair of jeans. I got one for me but they didn't have any kids sizes so I'll have them wear VBS tshirts next week with their jeans. We got three shoeboxes and filled them with toys for operation Christmas child to turn in next week. Alyssa and the boys picked out the items to go into the boxes. I think I may donate blood at the blood drive if they'll take mine. :-)

I rearranged the boys bedroom --- took out the desk and put in a dresser and then took out the drawer things in the closet. They should be able to get to and see all of their t shirts easier now and I think it looks better. Of course, maybe I just like change around my house so anything new looks better.

Tomorrow is trash day. I had the boys help me take out the garbage. They worked together to get the can to the curb.

It was very cute to have them help. We also cleaned the toy room, Alyssa's room and the boys' room. They wanted Mac N' Cheese again for dinner....you know, if they chose all our meals, we would live VERY cheaply and would probably loose weight --- mac n cheese and hot dogs every night. :-)

One full week Dad's been gone. Seems like forever. Counting down the days till you come home to us! We love you!
