He'S bEen sHoT!

Alex got some of his vaccinations today and boy did he put up a fuss! This cute little smile on his face was nonexistent from the moment he found out he was getting them until he was done crying after it was all over. He tried hard to be tough. Even though there were MANY tears, I'm still proud of him. :)

He recieved free ice cream from Mickey D's, but Carson ate most of it. After some fuss I finally let Carson hold it himself. He thouroughly enjoyed it!

Cami FINALLY lost her first tooth.

The only reason I say it like that is because she's been wiggling this baby since it was even a smidgen loose. (All her other friends have lost at least one tooth except for her... she says.) She cracks me up. So after recess they come inside and sit down on the carpet for some reading time. As she wiggles her tooth, it pops out.

She told me she quickly became worried and silent, "Because I didn't know if losing a tooth at school was okay to do." I just started to laugh.

Then I ask, "So did your teacher just find out on her own?"

Cami replies, "No."

The prying starts... "Okay so did you just all of a sudden get the gumption to just tell your teacher?"

Cami: "No."

Me: "Okay then, how did your teacher find out?!"

Cami: "I wrote her a note!"

The note said: "I lost a tooth."

Once again I started laughing and then gave her a huge hug. It's always interesting to hear your children's' experiences when you get the whole story. I think I'm going to pry a little more about her day. You hear some interesting stories. :)

I Often Go Walking

One of my favorite things to do is go for walks. Today was beautiful, so that's just what we did. (With Alex's continuous encouragement. ;) One of my friends had a kids' bike they were trying to get rid of. It was just Cami's size. :) So we hit the trail around the park.

I had a stroller for Carson, but he didn't want to just sit there. So this little guy walked most of the way. I get such a kick out of him.

The Seasons

My favorite season of the year is in the fall. When all the leaves are turning vibrant red, orange, yellow, and sometimes even purple. For some reason the mix of all those warm colors brings an inner peace to me. I'd have to say though, that there is NO ONE in the world who cannot see the majestic beauty in spring!
