Lost but not Found

Yesterday while eating French Toast, Emily lost her extremely loose front tooth. It has been wiggly since September, but hanging on by a thread since February. I had tried to convince her to let me give it a good tug, but there was no interest there. Yesterday morning, she took a big bite, and the tooth came out, but not before she swallowed her bite no knowing what had happened. She was crushed to lose the tooth.

Literal Humor

We were having a late & lazy breakfast this morning. Karl had Josh in his lap in the recliner, and so I delivered his plate of Monkey bread. Sydney's little ear perked up and she was so excited about eating breakfast. I told her "There is a plate in the kitchen with your name on it". She ran into the kitchen and picked up the plate and called out" Mom, this doesn't have my name on it." So I got to explain the word figure of speech to her. But she got her monkey bread and was a happy camper.

Right now she is working with Emily on a 54 piece 3d tiger puzzle. Amazingly enough there has been almost no fighting. Josh is snoozing and Karl is off renting an aerator.

We are going to attempt to make the lawn look a little nicer this year. Right now as a corner lot, we have the worst lawn at our intersection. And we are sitting next to a major line of shame as our neighbors have a beautiful lawn. He is not thrilled I called to find out the actual price to rent the thing. He pushed it off this morning by saying "Do you know how much that will cost??" So I called & found out! He he. He suggested that I take a shot at the machine. I'm going to use the roto-tiller though so I don't feel too bad about signing him up for yard work.

Green Eggs are Gross

I don't recommend trying to make them. The Oatmeal didn't bother me, but the eggs did. I took the whites & yolks & separated them, colored the whites then added them together & cooked them. It looked weird. In the book they are white whites and green yolks. This was just wrong. But the kids though it was cool. Karl not so much!

On another note, Josh finally figured out how to roll over! Yeah! I was getting worried since he wasn't trying to do it, but he has got it down now! Yeah Josh!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I made oatmeal for breakfast, but in honor of of today, I made it green! Emily saw it in the pot, recoiled and said what is that?? She was totally grossed out! Sydney at it happily, but Emily was a hard sell. Finally I convinced her to try it and she scarfed it down. I though it was a great idea. When she was getting ready to go, she asked why I made it and I said I had been thinking about green eggs and ham instead of oatmeal. She declared that was gross, but then asked for it for dinner! Of course I have no idea for to actually make green eggs.
