At Least It's Getting Used

While Sophie may not be falling for our trick to use this pet bed instead of destroying our new couch, I'm happy to say I found someone using it...

Advantage, Childhood

Amelia has lost several teeth in the last six months. For this effort, the Tooth Fairy has rewarded her handsomely.  Well, I had wisdom tooth surgery yesterday. Apparently, as an adult, you don't get anything under your pillow. In fact, it seems the Tooth Fairy's real name is Anna and she sits at the oral surgeon's office taking all of your money. Perhaps this is the day job that funds her nighttime pillow deposit shenanigans? Either way, major win for childhood.

Brown Bag

This picture may not seem like much, but to Everett, this represents the first day he's ever brought his lunch to school...and it was in a Batman lunch box....and it has his name sewn onto it. That is a top shelf day to a four year-old.

Dressed Up

You know when you look at the people going out with you and you realize you are wildly outclassed by the way they look? Well, I get to feel that way every Sunday when we leave for Church....

On a related note, Everett did not want to go to church today. When I told him we go to church to learn about Jesus, he even said "we don't have to go to church for Jesus. We can stay home. Jesus is in my heart!"

Fly on the Wall

Brownies with ice cream, nice weather, and sharing laughter with your little brother...those are the things great days are made of. Now, if only I could be a fly on wall to hear what they think is so hilarious...

Work Work Work Work Work

When you have kids, good help is easy to find....
