Emily has noticed a wiggly tooth on the bottom in the front. Lately, she had been talking about many of her classmates losing teeth and we thought she might be working on a tooth so she would be like her classmates. But sure enough, there is a loose tooth! Here, Ian checks it out.
The blood proves it: that tooth is coming out!
A quick pull and it ‘slides’ right out. By ‘slides’, I mean it hung on and hurt badly! As it turns out, there was one side of the tooth that spiked down and didn’t want to let go. Ouch!
A quick rinse with some warm salt water and all is well. Now she can’t keep her tongue out of the gap!
The next morning, Emily had a $5 bill in her tooth pillow!
Ian and Emily enjoy some old school bowl-licking as Mommy makes some brownies!
While perusing the after-Christmas clearance items at Wal-Mart, we came across a fun board game called “Headbanz“. Everyone wears a headband and (without looking!) puts a card in it so that everyone else can see it. That player then asks the other players questions about the card in hopes of guessing what it is before the timer runs out. Fun!
It’s time for Ian to get a haircut. We’ve been teasing him about his “Justin Bieber” hair!
Incredi-mom wastes no time in chopping his blonde locks.
Much better!
Emily is using the electric toothbrush. My baby is growing up!
The kids are warting us to death about opening gifts! We decided to let them open their stockings to appease the mob.
Keighly got a stuffed bear, some rainbow toe socks (like her friend Lydia)….
Some YuGiOh cards (whatever those are), candy…
..a little cash, dragon silly bands, and a Coke in an ornament bottle.
Emily also got some rainbow toe socks, a stuffed bear, candy…
… some mini stuffed animals, a little cash…
… some Littlest Pet Shop cards,
and a Coke in an ornament bottle.
Ian got a lightsaber/glowstick/flashlight thingy, a stuffed bear, candy…
.. some YuGiOh cards (whatever they are), a little cash…
… some mini Halo Lego men, and a Coke in an ornament bottle.
Keighly and Ian waste no time in starting a game of YuGiOh (whatever that is). I’m not sure if they really know how to play, but the game is heated with lots of trading of cards.
Rainbow Toes!
A website I frequent recently had a contest. The prize was a Win7 Ultimate signed by Steve Ballmer! You could enter three times: once on Facespace, once on Twitter, and once by responding to the post. Since I don’t have a Facespace or Twitter account, I just responded to the post (even saying in my message that it would be my only entry).. Well, lo and behold, I awoke this morning to an email saying I won! Now I can upgrade the kids/Incredi-Mom’s PC to a full Win7 Ultimate! Yay!
UPDATE: The prize just arrived on Christmas Eve! Woot!
Yay! We have gifts under the tree!!
Emily is as content doing a puzzle by herself as she is pestering her siblings. She has become quite good at completing puzzles!
When I was much younger (probably Ian’s age), I got a game for Christmas called “Run Yourself Ragged“. It was an obstacle course game where you manage a small ball bearing across and through various pitfalls and mazes. Since this was long before video games, I became very good at completing the course since I had nothing but time to play. I think my fastest time was 17 seconds!
The kids haven’t quite gotten the hang of it yet. As Emily demonstrates, the ball frequently falls off (usually on the floor) and you are supposed to start all over. However, my kids decided it best to either not use the timer at all, or just put the ball back where it left off (or skip that level). Curse those pesky “rules”!
UPDATE: It look slike Run Yourself Ragged is still around, re-packaged as “Screwball Scramble“!
I guess all that time on her DS playing Cooking Mama has paid off!
The Incredibealls!
