Last week Firecracker lost his very first tooth! It was amazing! He didn't even know it was loose. All the sudden after bath time he came to me and asked me for a tooth flosser, because his tooth felt weird. When I looked in his mouth the tooth was gone!
We went back to Firecracker's room and found the tooth lying on the floor. He was so excited all night. Firecracker just kept saying how big he was and how great it was. And when I gave him .50 for his tooth he was ecstatic!!
Have a great day!

Because of Who I Am
The other day I was browsing Pinterest and I saw this pin:
Sadly, this is my life. It's gotten so bad that the other night I was meeting my bestie, Ms. L, and I was running late (shocker) and sent her a quick text that said "running late on my way". Yes, that's how sad it is. I have a quick text that says that!
B.K. (before kids), I was almost never late. I aimed for being early. My Daddy's motto is "never be later than 10 minutes early".
Then the kids came along and something in my brain disconnected and time gets sucked away. Now, being late happens 92 times more than being on time and forget about being early. UGH!
I really do try. I do! So, if we have plans tell me the time to meet is 10 minutes or so earlier than you truly want to meet. That way I'll be on time! And if you choose not to do that, then I'm sorry in advance.
Have a great day!

Shoe Tying
Firecracker learned how to tie his shoes last week!! It's such a huge step for little people. I'm so proud of him. You should have seen the proud look on his face the first time he was successful. It was so awesome :).
I love seeing all the firsts for my little people. They get so excited and it's awesome to see something that I've done 234,534 times through eyes that have only seen it for the first time. It brings a sense of pride and wonder back.
Have a great day!

Silly Strangers
Just so you know my kids call anyone they do not know their name "stranger".
The other night we were driving home from church and we passed a house that had white icicle lights up around their pool area. Sweet pea noticed and said, "Mommy! those strangers think it's still Christmas! Silly strangers, it's not Christmas. You should take your lights down."
I nearly burst out laughing!
Have a great day!

Fixed the Roses
The Hubs got me a dozen roses. They were beautiful. After a week or so they started to die. The kids were sad. Firecracker said, "Mommy, your flowers are broken."
When the kids and I got home from school that day, the Hubs had thrown away the old flowers and gotten new ones! The kids said, "Oh, Mommy! Daddy fixed the flowers!!" Sweet pea rushed into the Hubs' office and said, "you are such a sweet honey! You fixed Mommy's flowers!"
It was super cute.
Have a great day!

No More Nursery
We go to the early service at our church. It is a relatively new offering. The early service is roughly a year or so old. Anyway, they didn't start off having a children's church, because they were waiting for it to grow some. Firecracker sits with the Hubs and I in service while Sweet pea would go into the nursery. (The nursery was designed for children no older than 3 so Sweet pea was going to have to come into service with us in May, because she'll turn 4.)
Anyway, this last Sunday the early service had their first children's church. So both kids got to go into children's church. It was nice, but as I sat there in service I started to tear up. I no longer have any babies in the nursery! I've had at least one kid in the nursery for 6 years (on the 21st of this month). It's an odd feeling. It makes me a little sad to see how big my babies are getting.
Have a great day!

Rembrandt
Over Christmas break, I had Firecracker outside with me one day painting some shelves for his room. He had paint everywhere, but he was doing very well and having a great time.
My FIL stopped by and came walking up the driveway. I said, "Hey!", motioned to Firecracker and said, "I've got a little Rembrandt on my hands." To which Firecracker piped right up and said, "yeah, and I've got green paint on my feet!"
Hahahahahaha!!!!!!! I about fell over laughing.
Have a great day!
