Lexa lost a tooth

Her tooth has been getting wiggly for awhile. She was showing her Dad last night how loose it was and he told her she should wiggle it more. She did then she got out the Kleenex to get a better grip.






All by herself she yanked it out. Glad that she did as I do not think I would have been much help in this area. It creeps me out to even think about yanking her tooth out. ugh

She is putting her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy. Ammy made her a pouch for her to put it in. She is very excited for "tooth fairy" night. I was excited to pretend to be the tooth fairy. We have recently had a conversation about Santa, the tooth fairy, etc. I was curious if she would still be excited to pretend that she would visit. She was excited and so was I. I think it is just as fun to pretend when she knows the truth.

I have a video but I can not get it to load. Let me know if anyone out there has a trick.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

A few months ago I asked Jeff for pull out shelves for our pantry. He and Milo worked on it and I got them during my birthday week. Whoop Whoop!!!
I sure miss our kitchen at the old house, but this makes it a little nicer since I can see what I have in the pantry. Thank you Jeff! and Milo

Here they are all done, Jeff is so handy, love it!

My Girl

Guess what Alexa did...


Here she is getting the information about what will need to be done, if she decides to get her ears pierced.



BEFORE:

DURING:

Is she going to cry...... Nope!

AFTER:

Checking it out. She is so excited!! We just did this yesterday and she has been doing very good about cleaning and twisting, so we will see.

Halloween

It is a blonde Cleopatra and the spider. Alexa has been studying ancient Egypt and decided she wanted to be Cleopatra. She even did her own makeup in preparation.


Milo was excited to be a spider again this year. Funny how things change in one year. Last year he was so scared of it, he hardly would put it on. (Until, I told him no candy unless he puts it on)

Maybe a little Kung Fu here, not too sure.

All the loot.

I am ready to throw the candy away, especially, when I see the dentist bill. UGH Milo LOVES candy so we have to limit it around here.

First Snow

It started out so quiet and beautiful. There is something so peaceful about the first snow, or any snow. It is a blanket of quiet, which is so nice. I enjoyed the first snow.

Then I went to Denver for a meeting and came home to this. Dang it! It is sad to see such a large tree be damaged and probably not survive. We will wait and see before we chop it down.

Then there was the fun that followed. Love to watch my kids in the snow so much fun. Alexa has been asking for snow since August so she was very excited to get up in the morning. She went out in her pj's and barefoot right away, and came back in to tell Milo ,"I went out with my whole self" She cracks me up.
