Random December

The last week of school before Christmas break is a blur....partly because we were so busy and partly because the kids were so wild that I blocked it from memory. We got a lot of snow and so the kids didn't go outside for recess which added to the energy. Allie had a dentist appointment and was happy to have no cavities. The dentist made her a balloon dog, but she was playing with it and it popped. She wanted a picture of what was left. YES!...we are in such a hurry some mornings that they have to eat breakfast in their coat with their backpack on...I'm not trying to win a motherhood award here, just trying to get through life. Carter was so excited to "help" at Allie's class Christmas party. He got to take home some popcorn and decorate a cookie. The other moms and teacher kept asking how old he is and when I told them 3 they said "he is a great communicator". I had to laugh, if they only knew him when he was one and yelling "mom, get me out of my bed!" These next two pictures are out of order. I'll just say that this is Hanna feeling bad, very, very, bad.... ...because her and Sara were wrestling and Hanna's knee knocked out Sara's tooth. It was actually a good thing because the last time Sara went to the dentist he told her that if it didn't fall out soon he would have to pull it. Don't worry, there were no tears or pain, just a lot of laughing and surprise.
