Rainy Loose Tooth Policeman Day-A New Holiday

Well I guess it's not really a holiday, but nearly. Catelyn's tooth, which had been loose since Sept. 1st finally "came out".

Yes, I pulled it but it was hanging on by a thread and at the point I pulled it out it was side ways. She was totally a basket case too about it. Screaming for no one to touch it, crying, whining, starving since she was afraid to eat even soup! Janelle and Mom and I were on the side of pulling it out will hurt a little but be so much better than this craziness. Grandma Betty and Kyle were on the defense team, sing a song about it will come out when it's ready and just leave her alone.


But she was driving me nuts about it! To much whining. I just would rather have her cry and be mad at me for 10 minutes than deal with it all day! (And for the record she was only upset with me for about 30 seconds, before she realized she did feel so much better!)


We made several attempts to get it out throughout the day. It wasn't until late afternoon, that we were successful. We had to wait for her to calm down between tries. It was crazy.

And of course when it rains it pours for us. Poor dad, trying to finally get to harvesting corn, and it rains like mad. When it's that wet, the trucks just get stuck in the mud. It can be dangerous too, since those heavy truck can (and have int he past) tip over, get flats...etc.


So no one got to ride in the corn trucks, which was disappointing.

And the Classifier was there to classify cows. (Don't even get me started on what that is or means. But for short, a guy comes out and judges and ranks your cows.)

We went out to dinner-Hong Kong restaurant of course. Service was bad, which is weird, cause usually it's pretty quick and good. Oh well. It just went along with the whole day, I guess.

so, what was the policeman part, did you leave something out. Oh, and I'm with you, I would have yanked the tooth too.

That is some funny stuff. Hooray for Caitlyn's first missing tooth.

I totally spelled her name wrong sorry. Catelyn. That looks better!

My grandma used to always yank our teeth out. She would tell us to tie one end of the string to our tooth and the other to a door nob. Then they would slam the door!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
