Fang or Here come the Chiclets

Sophie has lost and regained her bottom center teeth, not a big surprise there. Her top two center teeth have been lose for awhile, and she lost one of them on Friday. It was really bothering her at school, so she asked the PE teacher to pull it out. Apparently, he is the expert tooth puller, and many a kid has asked him to do the honors. I am glad she finally lost it, because it was sticking out so far, her lips could barely close over it. Plus the lisping, which is really kind of cute. I never realized how losing baby teeth would change her whole face. Her mouth makes room for the new teeth, which are much larger and never as white as the baby teeth. Hence, chiclets. So now she has one center top tooth left, but there is so much room around it, she looks like she only had one tooth to begin with. A picture tells the story better than I ever could.....


Attractive, right? Luckily that remaining tooth should be gone in a few days. I think the open gap will be cute...until the chiclets arrive!

Our club's consignment sale was this weekend and this was the first time I was a coordinator. It went very well, and I made over $700.00. Terry was a huge help, and many thanks go to Donna for staying with the kids all weekend. We had over 10,000 items for sale, and over 550 people shopped in the 4 hours we were open on Saturday. It was a lot of work, and I was very nervous about how it would all come together. What I forgot was that even though it was the first time I was a coordinator, most of the sellers are experienced, and that made all the difference. Set up moved right along, and we were done in record time. My best find was a Black and Decker tool bench for Michael, which is $99.00 new. I paid $15.00 for his, and it has all the parts and is in great shape. He and the girls have been fighting over it, I mean playing with it, all day. I am looking forward to helping to coordinate our next one in August. These pictures are during the sellers shopping time on Friday night after setup. You can get an idea of just how much stuff we had!






Word to Peg, does that dance floor look familiar??

And here's a fun video of bathtime. Michael and Emily had to move to our tub, they outgrew the smaller one, and it's easier to give a bath together. Terry took this video of their "snowball fight", and pointed out that they each keep their own washcloth throughout the whole thing, which is pretty funny.
