L Goes Toothless!!

My first tooth
L looses another tooth.
L has been losing her teeth right and left lately. I was really proud of myself for the last one though. Just ask D. I DO NOT PULL TEETH! EVER! However, this week it was unavoidable. L had thrown her fit to her dad the night before when he had tried to pull her tooth so he had sent her to bed. Fast forward to lunch the next day and over a special treat of pizza...and you guessed it: disaster struck. L looked at her crust and finger and noticed a lot of blood on them. I saw her tooth was completely red and immediately took her away from the drapes and upholstery and lead her to the bathroom. I did what any good mom would do.....I told L she had to pull it out immediately so we could stop the bleeding. She cried, I cried, and we both realized that was in fact NOT going to happen. Since I knew that time was of the essence, I did what I could no longer avoid, I yelled down the hall to my 8 year old daughter to hurry and come pull her sister's tooth. I believe the exact response was "Mom, I'm sorry, but I am not going to do that." At this point, I am becoming concerned because I am not entirely sure that the 3 year old can do it and I am running out of kids to ask since the 18 year old is at work. He would have done it. I decided that daddy really wasn't that far. We could pile in the car chase down his police cruiser and he could do it. Daddy didn't answer his phone. Just like some criminal to ruin my back up to my back up plan. I am slowly realizing it is going to have to be me. I grab a wash cloth, close my eyes, and give it a little pull. NOTHING! Didn't daddy say it was so loose he would barely have to touch it? Guess what, it wasn't that loose. I open my eyes, reposition the cloth, close my eyes again and pull HARD. IT WAS SO GROSS. I felt each strand snap one by one. The tooth came out and I was so excited I started screaming. Too bad L didn't realize that it was a happy I really did it scream. All she saw was mommy with a blood stain cloth screaming hysterically at her. So she joined in my hysterical screaming for a completely different reason. I finally managed to get out "I did it, I did it!!!" and her response was priceless. She immediately stopped wailing, clapped her hands, and said, "Yeah, Mommy." I am very proud of my  L's tooth. A asked me later, "so now are you going to pull teeth?" Let me think..........ABSOLUTELY NOT! However, I did learn I can pull a tooth in a life or death situation. Does she really have 2 more loose?

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
