Lost tooth

Maggie lost her first tooth last week!  There was some trauma with trying to pull it out, but once it finally came out, she was so excited to see what the tooth fairy would bring her.

Also, I found this hilarious shirt for Jared at Target.  I thought it was funny on so many levels.  He loves Despicable Me, he loves learning about the periodic table, and he is, quite frankly, a little genius.

Oh, and here's a little preview for Halloween next week:

Evelyn keeps calling herself Daniel Tiger.  She loves watching that show on Netflix.

1. Out of the Mouths of Babes

Alan and I decided that we want to take 10 minutes each week to write down funny things the kids say and do.  Since not many people read this blog anymore, this is mostly just a way for us to journal.

• Evelyn always says "mine" instead of "my": "I need mine sippy" or "Where is mine blanket?"
• Evelyn says "I don't need that" whenever she is done with something. We took the kids to an art museum, and she said, "I don't need these pictures." In fairness, the pictures were rather strange.
• On Sept. 26th there was a blood moon/super moon.  Jared was outside looking at it with us and said (very poetically), "In the shadow of the earth the moon may blush."  We laughed and wondered where on earth he had heard that.  It was from a flash card about the moon that he has, but we were amazed that he could recall it verbatim.
• Maggie likes to hide under her favorite pink blanket right outside our bedroom door and pretend to be a "lump."  She will stay there for a long time waiting for us to open our door and come out.  
• Maggie still says "flamily" instead of family and "amilals" instead of animals.  Her made-up pronunciation is more difficult than the correct pronunciation. 
• Jared makes up meaningless statistics to try and prove his point: "99.7% of the time I obey you without arguing."  Any readers should note this is not anywhere near true.  :)
• Jared still partially believes he has the Force and can use Jedi mind tricks on people.  
• When we told Maggie yesterday that we were going out to breakfast she shouted, "Yay!  That makes me want to scream!"  
• Maggie always wants to make sure she is older than her other 5-year-old cousins.  She asks Jenny all the time if she is bigger than Summer and Gabe.  
• Maggie does a pretty good rendition of Barbra Streisand's "I'm five, I'm five" song.
