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 Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
