It finally happened! Hadley had been asking about losing her teeth for so long (I think she's one of the last of her grade to lose one). She finally had a loose tooth that was wiggly for weeks. One morning I helped her brush her teeth, and then realized the tooth was gone! Luckily, we found the tooth in the sink before it got washed down the drain. She could hardly go to bed; she was so excited for the tooth fairy to come that night, but I told her that the fairy only comes if you are asleep. Don't tell the tooth fairy, but Hadley was disappointed at the dollar bill under her pillow. (Kids today!) She said she wanted two quarters because that would have been more. I guess we still need to learn about money. (Of course, we had to go look up when Owen lost his first tooth.)
We also wrapped up Owen's flag football season. They ended 6-2, which was pretty great (and surprising, based on their team practices)! Go Screamers!
I had to get a picture of Hadley being a supportive sibling, cheering on her brother on a cold, rainy Saturday morning. Though you have to know that during most of the season we had to bring something to entertain her (homework, coloring, etc) to be able to actually watch the game ourselves.
I said I would post a video if I got a touchdown recorded. Well, I was a little slow on the draw, but Owen got 3 touchdowns in their last game! I did get the last few seconds of a couple of the TDs when he crossed the goal line. He's too fast for me to get the whole play on video. :)
One evening the kids and I discovered this praying mantis on our porch, which was fascinating. I figured he was eating pesky bugs, so we left him alone.
Lastly, this makes a parent happy. Sometimes we have a 'make your own dinner night', and the kids make their own sandwiches! It's great to teach them some self-sufficiency, and I hope grows their appreciation of adults making their food most of the time.
