loose tooth

My little guy Dylan has his first loose tooth. He is so excited! He had so many questions about the Tooth Fairy. When, where, how much. So I made him a tiny pillow that we are hanging on his bed that has a pocket for him to place his tooth (when it comes out ) and the Tooth Fairy will have a place to put the money. I am thinking of putting cute little notes in it to tell him how proud I am of him when he's asleep, then he will have a surprise in the morning. He loves that stuff. :)

Garden update

O.k here's the garden update......


We have about a dozen of these....




And some of these....



We are starting some lettuce( which I post later if all goes well ). I'm about ready to grow potatoes in a bucket. I also have one Jalapeno pepper plant I got yesterday. Dawson loves hot, spicy foods and he asked me if I could grow some hot peppers for him.
I love this stuff!

Caitlin was painting the other day. She painted a picture on paper.....her big brother did this to her!




Big D. and little D. made bow and arrows out of sticks from the yard. They have been playing with them all day long. It was nice to see their creativity come out on something other than Caitlin..... :)

I tried to take my big toe off my body today. I ended up with a bruised nail and an open wound. I will let Troy get the ladder next time.

My artist.......

from the garden.......

Troy put up the clothes line the other day and I love it! The clothes dried in minutes it seemed. I am going to have to figure out the art of actually hanging the clothes. Not too good at that yet.
I think there must be a science to it. I have all ready figured out that jeans must go out first, takes them longer to dry. Shirts on the other hand, by the time your done hanging them up you can start taking them off.
Yep, stick me on the farm! I love my garden and the clothe line...the simple life for me.

I am an official Sunday School Teacher. (applause applause)
I will be in the 3/4 year old room pulling out my hair teaching the word of God. :)
Funny story......
For some reason Caitlin did not want to go to her class last Sunday unless I stayed right by her side. I tried to leave her, but her bottom lip was so big, and tears were falling down her cheeks. I couldn't do it. So I stayed during play doh time and snack time and story time. Then the question was popped to me about teaching the next quarter, which starts next Sunday. Oh......Umm.....well.......sure....came out of my mouth but my mind wasn't agreeing with it.
I sat at this tiny table in a tiny chair with my knees up to my chin next to Caitlin. Then another little girl came to sit next to us, then 2 little boys, and then another little girl. We sat there and looked at each other for a while and during the awkward silence I asked one of the girls a question. The two boys answered it. So I asked the two boys a question and after they answered with a question, the other little girls answered their question. (did you get all that?!?) I think we were bonding. I found out that one girl can swim to the steps while another little boy can go across his pool holding his breath the whole way, and I don't even remember asking them if they could swim?!?
Today, I met up with the 2 other ladies that will be teaching with me, and we decorated the room in a farm theme. I started warming up to the idea of being a Sunday School Teacher. It didn't seem to be so scary. Might even be fun......
