THE SECOND TOOTH

I woke up on Tuesday to find Morgan next to my bed saying she just lost her tooth. I asked her where her tooth was and she told me in her mount. She had lost it early in the morning on tuesday October 28th. Her new teeth are coming in very well so she will not be toothless for long. I just still can't believe I have a child loosing teeth. This just reminds me of how fast life goes. Morgan and I have been busy will girl scout planning and are looking forward to doing things with our group of soon to be nine girls. We have our first school conference on Thursday and are looking forward to going trick or treting with the kids on Friday.

Morgan is going as a cheerleader and Blake is going as a frog. I will post some pics after are night of fun. Our family went to Kathy's pumpkin patch over the weekend and we had a very windy and cool outing. We did not eat or drink any of there food we did take subway with us. I think we will be okay with the scare going on down there. The kids loved the corn pile and I could have left Blake there all day. Take a look at some of the pictures of them. Memories are so special to us.






Watch for more info to come but my little darling is getting ready to turn six. I will be working on her Birthday Party and keep you all posted. Enjoy our little family update.

OH NO- I LOST MY FIRST TOOTH

For about a month or so we have been dealing with learning about teeth. From our visit in Aug to the dentist till tonight. In Aug Morgan was getting her six year molars in. We were shocked and excited at the same time. Morgan started getting interested in her teeth asking lots of questions. Before were knew it she had her front two bottom teeth loose. She was so excited. Then a few weeks later she was feeling her teeth and I looked in her mouth only to find her new teeth were squezzing in behind them. This all seemed to develop so quickly and it reminded me that my little girl was growing up so fast.

Tonight I was drying Morgan off after her bath and went to wipe her face. Her front tooth had over the last couple of days bleed a little and was just hanging in there. After wiping her face I heard her tooth fall into the tub. I thought the world ended when Morgan lost it. She could not believe her tooth feel out then she started crying because her mouth was bleeding. Within a few minutes no more blood and she wanted to call her grandparents and tell them she lost her first tooth.

The rest of the night was about this tooth. It is now resting next to her bed in a baggie waiting for the tooth fairy to come. As I was lying with her she got scared the tooth fairy was coming and could not fall asleep. She did not want the fairy to get her. I had to reassure her things would be okay and it was like Santa or the Easter bunny coming at night to leave good things. We talked for a few minutes and I made her a promise Just like God made a promise to us that I would not let any one get her. She then rested and feel fast asleep.

One other note on that tooth- she asked me how much money the tooth fairy would leave. She is only five and wants to find out how much money she will get. What do I have coming.

My little girl is gettinig so big. I am sad but excited for the next phase with Morgan. She is a joy every day. Enjoy the photos of my toothless little girl.

A FUN WEEKEND

My family is looking forward to a fun weekend. Maybe Mom more than the others. Jason and I are going to see a movie together which we have not done in the theaters since Titantic. I know it has been forever. We are looking forward to watching Fireproof and then on Sat morning we are going to the pumpkin patch with the kids. I love this time of year and all the fall colors. We need to get a few pumpkins so the kids can carve them for Halloween. Then on Sat night I am going to a corn maze. Then Spoonriver on Sunday. This time of year is wonderful to spend with family and friends. Iwill keep you posted with some pics of our weekend to come.

Getting Caught Up

I have been running around like crazy lately. We took our weekend trip to
Davenport with the kids for the field trip with school for Morgan and to take Blake and Morgan to Chucke Cheese for Blakes Birthday. The kids had a blast. I have a few photos to share. That weekend we also had my cousins wedding and celebrated Blakes Birthday with family and friends on Sunday. I feel like I did not even catch my breath. I was thinking work would be slower and I have a few things I am working on as well so I stayed busy all week. I did take a few days to work from home and Blake and I took a walk to school to get Morgan one day and walked back home. That was a good distance so Morgan was tired. The next day Blake and I took a little bike ride. I hope to be able to ride our bikes tommorrow if the weather is nice. I love doing that with the kids and they love it to. Blake had his first dentist apt today and all went well except they wanted to have me work on getting rid of his "ME ME" that is what we call his pacifier. That will be a challenge because he loves it and it is his comfort. It is starting to work on his jaw line and development. That means I need to slowly (the key word) get rid of it. Along the line of teeth, Morgan has her bottom two front teeht loose. This just started the month of Septemper. She is excited and had to tell me her good news. When she went for her check-up the dentist said her six year molars were coming in and she would start to get some loose teeth. All four were working on coming in this summer.

I want to wish my Son and Husband a Happy Birthday- and let Morgan know I am proud of all her work at school. She has been doing so much this past Month(Sept). Now that the Birthday's are done we are looking forward to Halloween and a few fall outings to come. I will keep you posted!!! Enjoy the photos of are past few weeks of fun with the Waste Family.
