a "lost" tooth

We have our first "lost" tooth.

Ellie has had a loose falling out tooth for about a week now.  I am talking crooked, falling out loose.  I've tried a few times to have her let me wiggle it, but she would not even let me TOUCH the tooth.  After school, she ran out toothless - literally.  She was eating lunch and the tooth came out.  She said it either dropped on the floor, or she swallowed it.  She is not too upset by it, but we'll see how she feels when she realizes that she has no tooth to put under the pillow tonight...

Today is the last day of school for  the week.  I am hoping that the kids will be angels tomorrow (hahaha) and we can all enjoy a nice quiet day at home.  Wishful thinking, right?

Then Thursday, Friday & Saturday we will be on the go enjoying family time and wonderful Thanksgiving food.  I am looking forward to both things because, like most families, it feels like we do not spend enough time together outside of the holidays.  Our immediate family does, but I am talking about the aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents...we see them on holidays, and not a whole lot otherwise. 

That should change, I know it should. 

 

 

Today, I am giving thanks for:

• hand print turkeys (Zander's)
• hair color
• the quiet HOUR I had here today while Ava slept & Zander rested...it was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l
• the smell of candles burning in my WARM, cozy house
• my hardworking husband who works OUTSIDE in this weather I do not even like to go out in
• chicken nuggets & fries for dinner which = no complaining kids :)
• Black Friday shopping plans - woohoo!

Yay, Ellie! Congrats!

That is the most awesome handprint turkey I've ever seen. Happy Turkey Day, Angi and family, from a whole bunch of little fishies.

Maybe the tooth fairy would take a rain check :) Love the turkey, Zander! I am a excited to see my family this year, but know that Katelyn will miss seeing all of her cousins in Orlando this holiday season.
