Visit from the tooth fairy

The tooth fairy visited last night. She left some money for Scott in a very unusual place (the sink) due to the loss of his lost tooth. He couldn't find it...we don't know if he ate it (GULP!) or if it went down the drain but at some point during a breakfast of oatmeal his tooth was gone.

 

We already can't remember the first visit of the tooth fairy, (due to my lack of scrapbooking lately I'm not sure if I recorded it anywhere..., I may have a pic in my photo archives.) If we noted that momentous event to you, do us a favor and remind us when our kid lost his first tooth so we don't feel like such bad parents... 

Saturday was gorgeous--the neighborhood kids ran around playing in 80 degree weather, and enjoyed getting in the water when Bill washed the cars. Joseph did NOT like getting sprayed! But he liked getting his feet wet. He also loves his baths, and loved the ocean the weekend before with Aunt Carol and Uncle Ray, but maybe he doesn't love the sound of the sprayer or the force of the water on the sprayer.

It was a nice day, and so was this afternoon.  At church, we had an enjoyable sermon on spiritual gifts. In the afternoon we went to the Virginia Living Musuem to play and discover. I didn't bring my camera, and I don't think I did the previous time we visited either. But we just had lots of fun. One of these visits I'll take some pics so you can enjoy their joy as well.

God's Creation

Yesterday morning after dropping Scott off at school, Joseph and I stopped to look at the dandelions in our front yard.  When I got down closer to them, I realized the tiny drops of dew and frost. Such a silly little thing, a dandelion...but I was in awe. I took several photos with the macro setting on my digital camera. Here's one of my favorites. Isn't it amazing the upclose detail of one of God's creations?

Welcome Spring!

That was the title of Scott's performance this evening at the PTA meeting. (Clever way of boosting attendance at these PTA meetings, by the way, --have the kids perform, watch the parents line up with cameras)

They were instructed to wear a pastel shirt and black pants.  I thought it would be fun to dress up little bro like this too. He slept through the whole performance, having only napped a tiny bit today. Scott looked like he was asleep too, he yawned many times during his performance, stopped to play with a rubber band and put it in his pocket, and mostly looked bored and tired.

But occasionally he would get  a burst of energy and surprise us with some hand motions or singing along with his friends. When they joined hands we thought he was going to take the whole line down with his exuberant swaying.
