A Few Funnies & Fun

Okay, I've been serious enough lately. Here are a couple of funny and fun things happening around our household lately:
  • Amber lost her first front tooth! This makes her 4th tooth she's lost all total. She's definitely becoming a pro at it. She did it all by herself insisting on privacy in the bathroom until the job was complete. That's definitely my girl!
  • Emma got fitted for new glasses yesterday. The new ones will be pink and the frames more "grown up" for her. She is so excited to get them. It will take about a week to come in.


  • Their school pictures came back great! I can't believe how much they've grown since last year's school pictures. My babies are not babies anymore, but "real" kids now.
  • Lubby turned 14 years old this month and he's doing great for a grandpa dog! His hearing isn't so great, he moves slow, and sleeps alot, but pretty much is still up to the same old tricks. He can still climb up on the couch!

The other day the girls were playing in their toy room when I heard Emma getting very frustrated and crying. I came in to check on things. Emma was trying to stuff all of her play animals into the ark and the ark kept popping open. I told her that was too many animals to put in the ark and she proceeded to exclaim through tears that, "Mommy, they have to all fit because they have to sail across the ocean so they can go to Paris and see the Ipill Tower". I said, "You mean the Eiffle Tower? And she said, "No mom, the Ipill Tower". I asked her how did she even know of such a place and very definitively she said, "From Dora the Explorer". As if to say, mom get with the program. Too funny!

We are gearing up for fun fall activities. Bring on the pumpkins, apple cider, pumkin pies, fried apple pies, bonfires, hot chocolate, sweaters and sweatshirts, and beautiful orange, red, yellow and brown leaves. Thank you God for the changing of seasons as it sure is a reminder of your power and might through mother nature. You really are in control!
