Boys & their music

He lost a tooth

Joseph came to me the other day, shouting "I know what tooth I will lose first!" He went on to show me his loose tooth. I must say, I was slightly emotional. I showed him how to work on it, to get it loose enough to pull. Then we talked about methods of pulling teeth. I told him of the time I pulled his Uncle Tim's tooth out with a string tied to the door. Later that week, the tooth was about to come out. I went to pull it and he declared that the tooth must go the way Tim's went. Today was the big day! We had the whole family help. I tied the string to the tooth, Noah opened the door and David filmed. After a few failed attempts, David just yanked the string sending the tooth down the hallway. It was an adventure and I can't wait to come up with other ways to get the rest of his teeth out. I wonder how much money he'll get?? He hopes it's worth $100.

I'm looking for some more creative ways to pull his teeth. Please, send me your ideas. We'll film his next tooth being pulled using the best method suggested. It won't be too long from now, there are plenty of other teeth wiggling around in his mouth.

What do your kids do for fun?

Oooh, that's nice. Your kids read to each other, talk about horses and play house. How sweet!

You want to know what my kids do for fun??

Umm, well. Let me go check on them and see what they're up to right now.


My kids put layers of clothes on their bodies and then see how many pairs of underwear they can get on their head. Do you want to send your kids over for a play date??

Big on Football

With a house full of boys, there's bound to be some football fans around. I'm thrilled with this because I love football! Here's a little something Joseph said to me today...

"Mommy, when I turn 7 I want to have a Corn Huskers party and when I turn 8 I want it to be the Panthers. When I turn 9, it will be the Pigeons!" To those of you that don't know, the "Cardinals" are playing in the Super Bowl. They beat out the Panthers and so now Joseph wants them to win....only, he mistakenly calls them the Pigeons. Maybe he knows something we don't!

Just for Tim

I thought you'd like this one! Joseph brought the ball down the court and handed it off. Make sure you're watching Joseph. He's the boy standing behind the boy with the ball. He's got issues when letting someone else take the shot. Maybe he's been playing the Wii too long!

Basketball

Joseph is finally old enough to play basketball on a team and he loves it. I already have dreams of him playing in college! They had their pictures taken this Saturday. They looked so cute grouped together as a "real" team. There were many options of pictures you could order. And of all things, I ordered a button! A button! Yes, I ordered a button! And I will wear it proudly! Go number 10!

Snow Day

Yes, it's been ages. I thought it would be nice to share the little miracle we had in North Carolina. It snowed! A few notes before you watch.... 1. I used the few clips I got from an old digital camera of mine...they're not sharp and sometimes very jerky. 2. Please, I know the editing is terrible. You don't have to point it out to me. 3. Don't be alarmed when you see Noah's hair cut. During the process of shaving his head, he requested a little hair on top to be funny. I honored that request 1. because he's so darn cute 2. because we had no place to go until Wed. To those of you still concerned.....it has since been shaved completely off. Enjoy our Snow Day!
