A loose tooth!

OMG - I can't believe it my baby has a loose tooth, she can't be old enough to have her teeth start to fall out. Makes me feel like she's growing up way to fast! It's on the bottom, center on the right. It's funny b/c for the longest time she would stick gum over her tooth, her tough, or even imagine the spaces between her teeth were big enough, and exclaim, "I lost a tooth!" and sometimes I think even she believed it! But the day has finally come she has a lose one, I wonder how long it will take before it falls out????

Now Eva's sick...

Of course last weekend Grace was sick so it only makes sense that Eva would be sick, right? They think Eva has h1n1 too, so back to the pharmacy for tama flu again – good thing we have good insurance! Eva’s cough seems worse than Grace’s did – the cough is what worries me w/ the potential for pneumonia.

OMG!

Matt came home from work today w/ his new suit and wanted to show it off. He was in the process of putting it on when Eva who is always rummaging through his closet found a butterscotch disk, she somehow got it opened – no clue if she asked or not, generally Matt would always break all hard candy into pieces if the girls were lucky enough to get any. But that didn’t happen tonight. So Eva and Grace each have a piece of candy, and Eva is in Matt’s closet hiding/playing, and comes out red faced, trying to cough – but not clearing air. Matt and I were both feet away from her, asking her if she was able to breath – and she is shaking her head NO turning red, all you could hear was an awful wheezing. Matt turned her upside down and started hitting her back, finally she threw up and the disk came out – vomit everywhere, all over the shirt Matt had planned on wearing. Poor Eva, red faced and scared, I was in tears, Grace was in tears, and we were all so scared. Her voice sounded awful, it TERRIFIES me to think what could have happened!

h1n1...

Grace came home from school today saying she had a headache, which is very unusual for her. I gave her some Tylenol, but durning the night she was up w/ a temp. Took her to the doctor the following morning and they tested her for h1n1 and she tested negative, but had all the symptoms so they said she had it - ick! Eva was home w/ me too, didn't want to take a chance of her having it and getting everyone at Brenda's sick, so I had both girls, if we don't all get it we'll be lucky!

Mom got Gracie several old movies, she has watched Benji over and over - if we aren't watching Benju we are watching Popeye! I think I'd take Benji over Popeye any day - probably a toss up for Grace, she loves old movies.

Learning to tie her shoe...

Learning to tie her shoe... Grace came home from school today and said Quenisha taught her how to tie her shoe. I wasn't so sure about this b/c we've tried before and it just ends up being a knot, but Grace showed me and she DID IT! Way to go Quenisha! I was so proud of Grace - still need to get a video of her doing it for the record book:-)

Scary masks....

Today at Brenda's apparently Breanna dressed up as a WITCH (but you could clearly tell it was Breanna). I guess Eva was terrified, Brenda said she was so scared she shook and cried - bless her heart! I hadn't told Brenda that masks scare her, I didn't even think about it, but when Grace wears a kitten mask it scares her.

She's talked about the scary mask for days now!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch at Stoney Creek in Noblesville. I personally, along w/ the girls, LOVE going to the Pumpkin Patch. I think I almost crave anything that can be a "family tradition", Mom says it is b/c my Dad never liked doing those things (so even as a child I wanted the tradition). But that's beside the point, Matt - like Dad hates going, but at least Matt goes and is a good sport about it.

So we got there a little before lunch, as it was a Sunday, they weren't too busy yet. The weather was nice, sunny, but on the cool side, but that's all we've had lately so I'm happy that at least there is sun! Grace wanted to ride a pony, Eva had no interest but had fun watching. After riding the pony we walked around a bit and then headed out to the Pumpkin Patch, once there Grace ran around trying to find the biggest pumpkin she could pick up.

Our family tradition is, you don't have to be able to carry it (Dad does that) but you have to be able to pick your pumpkin up. So of course Grace who has grown thinks she can get a pumpkin that would need a fork lift to get it home! In true Gracie spirit she kept looking for a little bitty pumpkin for Eva. Eva wasn't interested in looking for pumpkins or getting her picture taken, she wanted to be carried the entire time, and I think she could have cared less about getting a pumpkin. But when Grace found a pumpkin for her - just her size too! She was happy and carried it the entire time:-)
