Loosth Toofs and Other Growings Up!

Well it finally came out, that darn tooth! It has been wiggly for ages, and now the Tooth Fairy will have to come to our house tonight. A red-Gatorade mustachioed Sofia says "Eww, it kinda tastes wierd". She has 2 more loose ones too, the one next to the giant hole, and one on the bottom. Ben has his 2 top ones coming in, for a total of 4. So, I have one losing and one gaining - trying to keep everything balanced! It is fun to have them in totally different stages. Ben reminds me of Sofia occasionally, but I would say that they are very different in that Ben is quite a bit needier when it comes to requiring attention and entertainment from the rest of us. Sofia and her imagination are often content to play by themselves. Ben is at the perfect baby age that I just love! He is curious and noisy, chubby and sweet, and adding to his repertoir every day.

We dressed them both up in their Halloween constumes for our neighborhood festival today. It was REALLY cold and windy, so we didn't stay long. Sofia jumped in the bouncy house for a while, and we stopped in the library to check out some books for her school report. We have a busy week ahead, and are looking forward to Halloween next Friday. I am working, helping at the school, taking the kids two places for trick or treating, and then going to a party!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

From Fall 08

Ben picked out his first pumpkin at Waterman's Farm on Sunday! We went on a hayride too. He tried to eat the hay of course. Who knew picking out a pumpkin could be such a monumental decision? Well, it was hard finding just the right one, but at last we did. It was a small one, not the big one in the pictures. I will post a picture after it gets carved.

Happy 30th Hubby!

From Neil's 30th


Thanks to everyone who came to Neil's 30th birthday party! He is taking turning the big 3-0 quite well. I have a few good pictures from the party to share. Thanks to Grammy and Grandpa for watching the kids too! We went to the IMAX theater for the first time to see the movie Eagle Eye. It was nice to have a night to ourselves.
