He shoots, he scores!

At least his aim is getting better.

My little "helper"

This is what Makayla's room looks like after she has "cleaned" it, or so she says. She has so many storage buckets and toy bins yet is physically incapable of picking up a single toy on her own. Any suggestions?

The Bully Fairy did it

My poor Leah can't get a break. I guess that's what happens when you are accident prone. I was in my closet at the time attempting to unpack something and she came in red in the face crying and my first instinct was what did Evan do? I couldn't understand her because she was so hysterical. About 6 hours later she told me what happened. She was trying to jump onto a bar stool but missed and wacked her face on the counter. Crazy kid.
This is what she looked like this morning:


I told her to tell people, if they ask, she got into an awesome fight. She said no, the Bully Fairy gave it to me.

"Like on tv?"

At bed time I told my girls to get a good night sleep because after moving tomorrow we were going to need a lot of energy to go mega shopping. Leah turns to me and says "Mommy, are we going coupon shopping like on tv? That would be awesome!". Oh how I love that girl!

Toothless

Leah FINALLY lost her first tooth. That thing has been loose for almost 6 weeks and barely hanging on for dear life for 4 of those weeks. She didn't lose it in an amazing fashion. It didn't fall out while eating an apple nor did she lose it while in some awesome fight. Nope, Craig pulled it out. We both got so dang grossed out that the tooth would point at us when she smiled that right before bed with one quick yank it popped right out.


She was quite sad that there wasn't more blood because she knows the tooth fairy pays more for pain and suffering. But she happily put her tooth under her pillow and prayed that the tooth fairy could fly safe tonight to get her tooth. This morning she came running into our room yelling "The Tooth Fairy came! The Tooth Fairy came!".


After she showed us her bounty she went back into her room and wispered to herself "The Tooth Fairy IS real...I knew it!".
