A New Window

Someone at our house has a new window! That first tooth FINALLY came out. A little bit of bribe may or may not have been offered. I'll never tell. 

Checking out his new space.

Showing off his new window. And starting off the missing tooth song, waiting for me to sing it: 

(Tune: Turkey in the Straw)

Oh...Look in ________'s mouth and what do you see?

There's a great big hole where his tooth use to be.

Well...he wiggled it and jiggled it until it was free.

And now there's a window when he smiles at me.

And boy, did he ever smile as he finally heard that song sung just for him!

That's my guy!

Recovering

Recovering from the attempted kidnapping of his first baby tooth earlier tonight.

It's Like Pulling Teeth

So there's this little guy with a super wiggly tooth. There have been at least four attempts at pulling that thing. Yeah...it's not moving.

Around Here

Around here, life is super busy. Life is full and so is our house. Around here, toys are scattered here and there in the midst of play or play scenes abandoned. Stuffed animals and dolls for the girlie. And nothing but Legos for little Mr.

Around here, this is the current line-up in the bathroom.

And on the stairs...

The table...

Around here our Little Mr. is building lots of things on his own, of his own design, like this yellow submarine he worked on the other day. I think it is simply amazing!

Around here, our little guy is slightly obsessed with the yellow submarine. It also shows up in his drawings. He has been looking at the new Lego Yellow Submarine set and dreaming about it and creating art about it for himself. Around here, the Yellow Submarine Lego that arrived this afternoon is currently being driven to soccer practice because one little boy is going to be super excited. 

Around here these two actually have moments of peace. Moments of fun. Moments of silliness without it turning ugly or crazy.

Around here, this little guy is slightly bug-obsessed. He looks for insects nearly everyday with his bug jug he made in first grade.

Around here the weather is becoming more tolerable. It has been so nice on some days that by the late afternoon, it is cool enough to leave the A.C. and enjoy a picnic in the backyard.

Around here, this little guy learned to blow a bubble with his bubble gum. He was super excited and very proud of himself.

Around here, this little lady also learned to blow a bubble. Can you feel the excitement?

Around here, soccer is a staple. These two cuties are on their first soccer team, the "Green Team" and they love when Daddy comes out to practice with them.

Around here, Little Mr. thinks he is an unstoppable player. It's serious business. ;)

Around here, this little girl wears mismatched socks to school many days each week. She definitely is not the only one, as I look around the school, it must be a thing these days, which is great for a momma who is constantly looking for missing socks.

Around here, she is the selfie queen. Whenever she seems me with my camera, she puts her face up to it and snaps a few pics.

Around here, this little mr. has already blown out his first pair of school shoes. He now has a thing for Nike's and thinks that they are the bee's knees.

Around here, we are squeezing in family traditions to celebrate this wonderful season, fall.

Around here, Little Mr. still cannot bring himself to touch the pumpkin guts and leaves it all to big sis.

Around here, life is busy and crazy and fun and full. That's what life is like around here.
