Please stop by our house tonight. Our Big Girl lost her first tooth today! We are very excited. You will find the tooth under her pillow.
Signed,
the Mom and Dad
p.s. Please don’t feel obligated to leave more than $1 (even though Popo says you should leave $10). We understand that at $1 per tooth and 20 teeth per mouth and 2 mouths at our house, it will add up fast!
Take a peak at the latest in Halloween Costumes designed by my Big Girl!
I enlarged the line drawing from the pattern instructions and allowed her to color and cut out the pieces of her choice. The result–fabulous red and black cowboy costumes for the 2 of them (designed to match red boots that she owns and a black hat of the Little Man’s). Now Mommy needs to get busy!
I got suckered! A very persuasive PTA chairperson snookered me good! Now, I’m a room mom.
My first assignment: staffing 2 booths for the school carnival. No sweat! I just sent home the standard “sign-up for a time” letter. And surprise of surprises, I got 10 replies!!!! That’s plenty of volunteers–or at least it was, until I realized they ALL signed up for the SAME hour and the SAME booth!!!!!
Needless to say, I have spent several hours on the phone sweetly requesting parents to take a different time slot. It has all gone well, just taken an entire evening. Oh well. In the words of a friend: “Dust Bunnies Rejoice!!! The PTA has taken over!!!”
You know, after last year, I really was afraid that the world was ending–after all, why else would the Saints take the NFC West and make it one step from the Super Bowl?
But, not to worry. All is as it should be. We lost. I won’t repost the score, as it is painful! So, let’s look on the bright side:
We lost to last year’s champs, not some other losing team.
This isn’t the first year that the Saints have started with a loss–and it won’t be the last.
We still have 15 games to go. in the regular season.
He’s home now. There is the lingering vestiage of infection in his elbow, but I think he finally beat this staph. Here are a few things that I learned during the past 2 weeks:
Nurses are angels.
Men are not good patients, but they will consent to treatment when the wife insists.
How to vaccuum the swimming pool.
A 2-hour nap in your husband’s arms in a hospital bed is more refreshing than 6 hours at home.
A true friend not only watches your kids, but also washes your dishes.
Sometimes, the laundry just has to wait.
Don’t forget to feed the dog.
UNO + jigsaw puzzles + 2 children = quality family time.
