First Day of Kindergarten

On August 4 the boys started kindergarten.  They are really liking school for the most part.  It has been quite the transition for all of us with many rough afternoons, but we are finally all getting used to our new routine and long days.  Here are some pics of their first day.  Sorry no good pics at school, it was very crowded and we weren’t allowed inside.

No Tooth Fairies!

IMG_1320

 

A couple of days after Noah lost his first tooth, his second tooth was ready to come out.  We pulled it and he placed it in the tooth box under his pillow.  Shortly after putting them to bed, Matt heard some noises from their room.  He went to see what was going on and Noah was up, relocating the tooth to his fire plane, so the tooth fairy couldn’t find it.  Why?  He wanted to start his own tooth collection.  He really didn’t want a visit from the tooth fairy, so Matt helped him make a sign for the door.  Plus it was safely secured inside his fire plane.

We thought that was good enough, but a little while later Matt checked and noticed Noah laying in the middle of the floor.  He asked what he was doing and Noah responded, “I just can’t find it.”  He had decided to relocate his tooth from the fire plane but had dropped it.  We assured him the tooth fairy was not going to come and search for his lost tooth.  Daddy even showed him that he texted the tooth fairy to say she didn’t need to visit.  We finally convinced him to go to sleep and that in the morning we’d help him find the missing tooth for his collection.

 

PS: We never tried to get the boys to believe in the tooth fairy, but thanks to friends and tv they really believe in her and it’s kind of adorable.

PPS:  Mommy finally found the tooth wedged in the bottom of the fire plane.

First Visit From the Tooth Fairy

Noah lost his first tooth! It was super loose and really bothering him, but was not easy to pull. Daddy couldn’t actually get a grip on the tooth so mommy had to pull it while daddy held him. He was getting anxious and needed a distraction. Luckily he provided his own when he tooted and began giggling. I pulled it out quickly. He cried for a bit, upsetting Ezra. Ezra was so upset thinking we had really hurt his brother. Noah recovered quickly, but Ezra stayed upset for a long time. (Noah was worried it was going to cause Ezra nightmares, aren’t twins adorable?)

Our dentist gave us the tooth case and it glows in the dark. Noah thought it was glowing because the tooth fairy was inside it. He was excited to find she left him $1 for his tooth.

Daddy Trying Happy it's over Ez was really upset Checking things out

New Garden

Matt’s been busy building me a new (hopefully chicken proof) garden. The boys and I planted it today. We planted cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, basil, peppers, melons, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, and red onion.
