Our Week

A little of what we were up to this week:

1

Hayden lost his first tooth, and the tooth fairy did come!

He was worried the tooth fairy wouldn't know where to find his tooth, but she came through. We were amazed that for such a small tooth, he got $1.25 from the tooth fairy! (We've totally stolen my sister Lisa's idea about the tooth fairy- it varies each and every time the amount you get because it depends on how many children lost their tooth that night. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. It's brilliant - we simply grab whatever change we can find)

(ps- I needed to write this down before I forgot. We didn't have dessert last night, and Hayden was really disappointed. I guess it just felt like a dessert night to him :) So, during his evening prayers, he asked Heavenly Father if he could please make mommy make dessert the next night. I got a good chuckle out of it.)

Bells is now pacifier free! It only took one night of screaming for 4 hours (maddening & saddening at the same time), as well as the loss of naps, but she did it. About every 3rd day exhaustion takes over and she falls asleep on someone during the afternoon.

We had a birthday party for my dad. My dad and mum proved to be some serious gamers as we played Guitar Hero and Mario Kart. Watch out for the senior citizens :)

I redid our master bedroom. I grew tired of the dark brown walls and our old white washed furniture, as seen in the picture Bells is modeling (danger - super messy room in picture below).

So, I painted the room and the furniture. It's a big improvement.
