A tooth, a skill, and a birthday…

"Why is there a rope in the fridge?"
-Mommy

PePa came over last weekend and I didn’t use the pictures then, but I wanted to use them now since this week was his birthday.  And what better way to kick off a birthday week than playing dolls with Isla.  Happy birthday PePa!

James has had a loose tooth for almost a week now and it finally decided to come out.  James and the kids were excited since it was his first tooth.  Even the hamster wanted to get in on the celebration.  James forgot about the Tooth Fairy the next day and it wasn’t until after lunch before he remembered to check under his pillow.  I suspect he’ll remember quicker next time.

Ashlyn has been working on her windmill skill for a while now.  She was practicing on her new bar this weekend and managed to do it.  Then she did it again, and then again.  She finally figured out the trick of using her legs for momentum, and she was excited about it.  We’re excited for her, that was a lot of work to learn that skill!

The kids were getting stir crazy at the end of the week with the cold weather so we took the opportunity to get them out of the house and over to Chuck E. Cheese.  Say what you want about Chuck E. Cheese, the pizza is awful and the prizes are cheap, but the kids have a lot of fun running around and playing games for an hour.
