Wiggly Tooth!

At the beginning of the week, Michael discovered he had his first wiggly tooth! We were all so 

excited!  Those who know me, know that I LOVE pulling teeth out! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! of course I have a child who made me promise NOT to pull his tooth out everytime I touched it! Soo hard!...but I didn't because I knew he really wanted to let it fall out when it was ready!

Well today, Wednesday February 25th 2010, it was ready! Michael lost his first tooth at school this afternoon!

He looks so cute with the little gap between his bottom teeth! Here are some pictures of my proud boy (hat hair and all!)

Still red cheeked from playing outside...but we were both so excited about his first tooth falling out that we wanted to capture the moment as quickly as possible! My baby boy is growing up! 

Snowshoeing!

With Steve and Jason (Mary's husband) away, Mary and I have been able to spend a lot of time doing fun family activities with the kids. The kids get along great so it's always a pleasure to hang out. On our last Snow Day we decided to take the kids (+1) snowshoeing. It was a beautiful day...sunshine and hardly any wind! 

Here's the gang resting under a tree and then continuing down the "trail".

Snowshoeing is an awesome outdoor activity BUT with five running kids, lots of fresh powder and only two adults you are inevitably stopping often to readjust straps and fasteners. Here's a picture of one of the many readjustment times!

On the way back...we didn't fight it any longer. The picture says it all! ha!ha! F*$% the snowshoes...RUN KIDS RUN! teehee!

Super Bowl 2010!

Today is the big Super Bowl game. THE game football fans wait for all year. This game means only two things for me...exciting half time show and my husband will be glued to the TV all day! I don't have a clue who is playing...but I do know that one of the teams is NOT the Patriots. Steve loves the Patriots so if they were in the Super Bowl I'd surely know about it. Found this Maxine comic that describes my feelings about the game perfectly! bahahahahaha!

SO sweet!

If this isn't the perfect blackmail picture I don't know what is!?! If Michael ever misbehaves as a teenager I'll threaten to show all his friends this picture! ha!ha! I think it's beyond sweet that Michael offered to paint Abbey's toes...but of course a mother would!!!!
