Loose Tooth Week!















In January we had one especially busy week. Connor and Aubrey each announced proudly they had loose teeth. You see this is especially exciting for Connor as he had a late start at losing his teeth. He didn't lose his first tooth until after his 7th birthday, last June! So he spent all of Kindergarten and 1st grade envious of all of the kids around him losing their teeth and hearing their tales of what that ever elusive tooth fairy left in exchange for their teeth. So each time is extra exciting. For Aubrey (age 6) this is her first time ever! She got to return to school and mark it on a chart they have in her classroom, it was all very exciting. It was however that weekend when the tooth fairy realized the error of giving $1 for each tooth. It was then that she decided to send a detailed price list upon the receipt of the next teeth. We'll let you know what that says!

Holy Snow Day!



















Well it has finally happened! We got hit with the BIGGEST snow storm. (February 13th-14th). It was an exciting one, too. Ferocious winds and a foot and a half of snow with drifts that covered cars! They announced on the news that school was canceled and Connor and Aubrey stayed home for their very first snow day. Connor hit the front door with snow gear ready at 10 am. He built snow forts and went sledding with friends. He didn't come in until I drug him in at 3 pm. He was soaking wet and hadn't eaten since breakfast! Aubrey and Alli were done with the cold after an hour of playing while Sean dug out both cars. Unfortunately, they didn't call it a snow day for work.
