Another Tooth!

Emma lost her second tooth tonight!  It had been more and more wiggly throughout the week and she really wanted me to pull it, but it was so tiny that the dental floss (waxed) just kept sliding off of it.  I finally grabbed some toilet paper and pulled... and it popped out!  Hooray for Emma!

Lennard's Dream

Ever since we built the hangar, Lennard has wanted to have a projector so that he could show a huge movie on the wall.  Well, tonight, his dream came true.  He borrowed a projector and we watched movies... we started with One Six Right, but quickly traded it for Top Gun!  His grin couldn't have got any bigger!  When I put the kids to bed in the trailer, he was still watching (and grinning)!

Paint

We started painting the hangar tonight!  The kids were thrilled to get to help.  Ben did more dancing than painting, but it definitely kept us entertained!  It's amazing how different the front door looks.  I'm looking forward to seeing the entire hangar done... just not looking forward to all the work involved to do it!  We were pretty stiff and sore tonight.

The Tooth Fairy Visited

It was such a fun morning when Emma discovered that the tooth fairy had come in the night!  Even better was that she'd left a toonie!  Emma did get told that the tooth fairy only gives that much for a first tooth though!  So fun seeing how excited she is - especially to go to school and show everyone!

Emma Lost a Tooth!

Emma's tooth has been wiggly for quite a while now, but it finally came out tonight!  She asked me if I would pull it (yikes!) and after seeing how loose it was, I decided to try.  Thankfully, it popped right out without too much effort.  Emma was SO excited!  I found the little tooth holder that B&T had sent her and she loved getting to put her tooth in the little pouch and find a special place to put it in her room so the tooth fairy could find it.  It almost made me a little sad to see her losing a tooth... she's growing up so fast!

See her tooth?!

Happy Halloween

After having pumpkins sit in our front entry for a week, we finally got around to carving them!  The kids loved getting to pick what their pumpkin would look like.  Emma dug right in, but Ben wouldn't touch the 'goop'.  

Cutest 'Bumblebee' Transformer and Dalmation!

 They were both so excited to go trick-or-treating.  I stayed home for a while to hand out candy while Lennard took them out.  After about 45 minutes, Lennard came back and picked me up and the kids kept going.  Even after Ben was tired and came to sit in the van, Emma kept on going!  She had so much fun running from house to house.  They definitely got more than enough candy.

 The finished jack-o-lanterns.  The kids loved seeing them 'glow'!

Party Time

We were invited over to Toone's for a Halloween party/dinner.  Everyone brought something to share for dinner and no one went away hungry!  Shannon had made 'bone' breadsticks, there were meatballs, seven layer dip, 'mummy' hot dogs, etc.  Yum!

The kids played downstairs most of the evening while the adults visited in the living room.  Then, they had an activity for the kids where they had to follow their string through the 'web' of tangled strings up the stairs and find their goody bag.

They were so excited to try out their glasses and mustaches!

I love this group of kids!

 Nothing like fake teeth and mustaches for a Halloween family picture!
