Just a fun and crazy tooth day...

Oh boy, what an afternoon. I picked Thomas up from school and would you believe, that 10 days after loosing his first tooth, his 2nd popped out?! He's now missing 2 bottom front teeth! He looks so cute and OH so grown up! Really, how does this happen so quickly? How does one boy go from just cutting baby teeth to loosing them in a matter of months?! Wasn't he just born?

Funny he should loose it today, both boys had appointments with the dentist after school. So we rush home for some deep cleaning of the teeth along with double flossing in hopes to make up for the last 6 months we missed (bad mommy) and rush out the door to the dentist.

Both boys get their exams and ....YIPPPEE SKIPPY...no cavities! I'm so excited! And they are too, since they got a goody bag from the Dentist along with a coupon for their favorite pizza place. It's like Chuck E. Cheeses on crack...huge carnival rides inside along with cool games for the whole family! Tom and I like it because the food is pretty decent and...they serve beer! (giggles!)

60 Frankensteins....

Life changes when you have children....way more than you can ever imagine. Could you ever see me staying up past midnight and spending the whole next day to complete the task of making 60 Frankensteins for the boys' classmates? 60 freaking Frankensteins, have I lost my mind you ask.....yep! I think I have!

Thanks to a friend who had the idea....I shamelessly stole.....here are my "frankies". Filled with stickers, fruit snacks, a sucker and a whole lotta love (and maybe a dog hair or two?!). One thing I will tell you, if I see a dead "frankie" in the parking lot of school....I'm sure to burst into tears!

Happy Halloween!

Early to bed....

Okay so I'm making up for lost time with 2 posts in one day! Okay so I'm minding my own business, working on the finishing touches on 60 Frankenstein treat holders for school on Thursday, and Tom keeps bugging me. Apparently he can't sleep, the neighbors dog has been barking consistently for 30 some odd minutes. Okay... earplugs? Whatever, he does his thing and I think went back to bed? Then the phone rings, it's my mom, rambling on and on about something something "early to bed, early to rise"....that her friends, brother's, neighbors, best friends, twin boys need to know where the quote came from, and since I'm so high-techy, I can look it up on my big old box of magic, (my Dell) and figure out who's quote it is. Turns out ....Ben Franklin!

Ooops gotta run, the cops are here, I guess Tom called the police on the neighbors dog....really doesn't he ever quit working?! SHEESH!

Good night...and remember, Early to bed....blah blah blah

Shame on me...

...bad, bad blogger!

Okay, I totally stink at this, but have high hopes now that I got canned from my part time work from home jobby-job, I'll have a little bit more time! I won't be rushing home from every single outing to check my work email accounts (yes 2!) to see if there were fires that needed to be put out! Yes, I was sad to be let go, and my ego was a bit bruised, but sheeesh! This has been the best week in a half I've had in a long long time! Despite nursing a sick boy back to health and recovering from my own bout of strep throat...It was an awesome week and a half! ;-)

Funny thing happened today, Big J and I picked up Mr. T from school today, and the conversation was pretty interesting. Usually the chattering behind the driver seat is pretty funny, but today....very enlightening!

Thomas informed me that today, Anna is no longer his girlfriend....uh, WHAT!? You are 5, in Kindergarten, and you no longer have a girlfriend? Was I aware that you actually had one? Uh, NO! I kind of let that go and just listened for a bit, asking basic questions (really, pumping for info). I asked why, he replied "Anna plays with Ben now, and she throws bark at us" Interesting! Then John jumps into the conversation, because really, no conversation can take place without John telling his side of the story!

John shouts out "Yeah, I'm switching up girlfriends too.....Ashley WAS my girlfriend, now it's Kaitlyn" ....really I think? I must have missed something, isn't this CATHOLIC school....shouldn't there be some sort of training for parents since we're SO INVOLVED with everything?!

So long story short, Thomas is now boyfriend to Hannah, because she can shoot a basketball into the high hoops and doesn't throw bark. John's new girlfriend is Kaitlyn because she does throw bark....at the other boys. Interesting, interesting day! I look forward to the teen years, but then I'll be 65!
