Our First Broken Bone!!

For those who didn't know, Brandon broke his nose a couple of weeks ago. It happened the morning after a sleepover at the neighbor's home. I wasn't there so I didn't freak out. The bleeding had stopped by the time I actually saw him.

The first pic is from a couple of days after he broke his nose.

The second picture is from when the bruising started to go away.

He's okay now. The swelling is almost gone (although the doctor said it may take another month for it to go away completely). He says he's not in any pain; and it seems to be healing well.

Gavin's First Loose Tooth!

He pulled it himself!

We made a pouch to hang on his bed so the tooth fairy could easily find his tooth.

Showing off the loot! He got a "golden" dollar.

We were surprised that he lost his tooth so early. I wasn't expecting a loose tooth until 6 or more months from now. Brandon didn't lose his first tooth 'til well after his sixth birthday. Gavin didn't even get his first tooth until he was close to one year old. I thought that because of that he would be late losing a tooth. He was so excited! Looks like it won't be long before he loses the next tooth! I checked it earlier today and it's already a lil wiggly.

St Patty's Day!

Last week was St. Patty's Day and the boys had hoped to catch a leprechaun. They never give up hope that this may be the year! We haven't been successful thus far but we always try. We spent Mar 16 building traps. Of course the boys were eager to check their traps to see if we got lucky this year. They ran downstairs only to find that we had been outsmarted again! There were trails of shamrocks left by the leprechauns just to taunt us! In the traps, the boys were fortunate enough to find goodies left in place of the missing "gold". We were also excited to find some green surprises around the house, including green toilet water and even green milk!!
