No Milk for Breakfast

Last night Caleb had me pull out one of his teeth. It was while we were watching Extreme Makeover, and the noise of the tooth being pulled from the gum was loud enough to make everyone stop and focus on Caleb and I---- but I got it!

Even though Caleb will often wake up on the floor like this, the tooth fairy still remembered to fetch his tooth from under his pillow. The tooth fairy probably appreciated how easy he made her job.

This morning was one of those "I'm an awful mom" mornings because there was hardly any milk and only a few frozen waffles. I knew that I should have gone for milk last night, but I was sure that I had enough waffles to cover breakfast. Wrong! So one finished up the milk in a bowl of cereal, a few kids had waffles, some had toast with jam and a banana, and one had oatmeal. Guess where I am off to after I finish this post?

I had to get this picture------- Miss Rachel likes more than just brown bananas----- she loves brown, burnt waffles too!

William loves legos. He has trouble pulling them apart at times because of his sensory issues in his fingers, but he has an awesome imagination and will build these awesome sets with all of the lego men he can find. He is sitting at the new table and chairs set we got from friends who could no longer use the set. Well okay, technically, the set isn't new, but it is to us--- and we love it!

Yesterday, I took four of the girls shopping. Miss Anna stayed home with Daddy and her brothers to work on math facts that she seems to have forgotten since summer. I left with her a little grumpy, but when we came home, she was very sweet...... it seems like Daddy worked with her on more than just math facts.

Mervyn's is going out of business---- you would think that they would have a better sale than just 30% off. We found nothing that I was willing to buy at that price, but I did get a sense for what each of the girls would like.

We shopped at Kohl's, where I found a few new pairs of pants----- it seems like I have went back up to a size 10. When I had got down to a size 6 two years ago, I threw out most of my size 10 clothes, vowing to never go there again------yet ha, here I am! But hey, I seem to remember that there was a movie called 10, meaning that the size 10 is perfect, right?

Miss Rachel has turned in her birthday wish list------ 5 pairs of shoes!

Since my girls really enjoy dressing up--- and dreamed of having glasses, I managed to get our old optometrist to give me some of his old samples. Rachel put them on Dennis----

Doesn't he look like a wise young man?

Sveta loves these dogs, I tell ya. Loves them.

Probably as much as Dennis...........

loves his purse.

P.S. Treat yourself, and take a minute to listen to the whole song playing in the background. Yes indeed, our God is mighty to save......... and I have seen him move mountains........ in me.
