HALLOWEEN 2008

What a fun Halloween we had this year!! The weather was beautiful and the kids were healthy. Claire went out as an angel, Tommy as "Mater" from the CARS movie, Luke as Tigger and Ava as a pumpkin. Here are some pictures....

Apple Orchard Trip

Today Tommy's preschool class spent the morning at the Plymouth Orchards. Tommy, Luke and I were able to learn how apples grow. We also took a wagon ride out to the orchard and picked apples. The morning ended with cider and donuts. Yummy!!

Here's Luke contemplating the finer points of apple picking.

Mmmmmm!

TOOTHLESS!!

Last night, as part of my zealous attempt to keep my kids' teeth healthy, I was going through our nighttime routine of brushing and flossing. As I put the floss in between Claire's left front and side teeth, something flew out of her mouth and landed on the bathroom counter. Claire immediately clamped her hand over her mouth and got the strangest look on her face. Thinking that I had just dislodged some giant piece of food, I went looking for it, only to discover it was her front tooth! We hadn't thought that it was very loose - how wrong we were. Now she is missing both of her front teeth - making for great pictures!
