Things Lost

Sep 23

Everyone,

Juice had most of the day off today so we spent it doing the things I needed to do.  Like go to the grocery store.  I have going to the Aldi here in town for almost 18 months for our groceries.  Juice has NEVER been.  I can’t remember the last time we actually went to the store together.  At least over 18 months!

Lost at the store: my mind.  Those boys are getting harder to take places.  I suppose it doesn’t help that Juice was there to teach them to “fly”, super hero style, up and down the isles.

I made bread today.  I made a half batch of crescent rolls.  The boys have been scarfing these down for breakfast.  It makes a quick and easy thing for me to toss at them as we’re out the door to wait for the bus.  I suppose I could make muffins instead.  Huh.  That’s a thought.

I also made pizza dough for dinner tonight.  The kids LOVE to assemble their own pizzas.  Professor went first.  He had sauce (home made, today, while dough was rising), cheddar cheese, and that’s it.  Pirate had only white cheese, and a tiny bit of cheddar cheese and a WHOLE lot of whining.  Butterfly was last.  She had sauce, white and cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and little bit more cheese.  Juice made his pizza up with sauce, mushrooms, peppers from our garden, onions, pepperoni, and 3 kinds of cheese.  Mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack.  He said it was very good.

Lost during pizza making: my shirt.  I splashed oil all over it.  Anyone know how to get oil out of a t-shirt?

We took everyone shopping at the $200 Store after dinner because frankly, we were out of cheese.  We had a good time looking at all the Christmas stuff they have out.  Already.  We did a bit of window shopping in the toy isle.  We comparison shopped.  We impulse bought strawberries.

Lost shortly after the store:  Butterfly’s 4th tooth!  Her top left (?) and now she is missing both her front teeth!

Looks like the tooth fairy is visiting this house tonight!

The Tooth Fairy Comes Again

Feb 07

Everyone,

Butterfly ran out of school today saying she lost her tooth!  It was barely loose!  But here she was, clutching a baggie with her tooth in it and jumping up and down.

I’ve been trying to teach her how to whistle and she was all upset that she couldn’t practice whistling (it involves pushing her tongue on her front teeth) anymore.  Wait, is that what she was doing in school when her tooth came out?

You betcha.

Love my girl.

My Little Snowman’s Teeth

Dec 22

Everyone,

Today at school for spirit week is dress like a snowman day. Butterfly and I picked out things that were white for her to wear. But since she didn’t have white pants, she wore her great sparkly leggings because “when the sun shines on the snow it’s sparkly.” Okay.

Juice had a hat, I supplied a fun scarf, and off to school she went! Isn’t she an adorable snowman?

This snowman also lost her FIRST tooth today!! She lost it sometime at lunch at school. She’s not sure where it is. But she didn’t eat her apple because there “was a crunchy hard spot” in it. Ah ha. Still, no tooth to show but a gap! And the gap makes her look so big!

She wrote a note to the tooth fairy explaining what happened to her tooth and put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy to visit.

The letter says, “Dear tooth fat Dear tooth fairy I have lost a tooth at lunch in my school please find it! it It is at my school! please still bring me a present. It is at my school. And this is Butterfly work. Love Butterfly!” Then she drew a tooth.

I can’t believe how fast she is growing up!
