happy day

The kids are finally back after 9 days. 9 long, quiet days. Already this morning, we've had crying, fighting, hockey in the kitchen, laughing, goofing around and the general craziness that accompanies 5 kids. I wouldn't have it any other way.

There are lots of great things about raising boys. Loose teeth is one of them. I am generally a squeamish type of mom. I have yet to pull a tooth. Hootis gave up on me and eventually pulled most of her own teeth out. (I do think Stick pulled out one or two for her.)

The boys on the other hand have managed to deal with loose teeth in a uniquely "boy" way. They either knock their own teeth out or have a brother do the "honors".

Here's our latest victim:

He came home from Grandma's with a missing front tooth. The simple explanation is: "I hit it with a pillow. It didn't hurt, I was just laughing when I saw something on my lap."

So there you have it, if you are in need of some dentistry, our rates are cheap. As long as you don't mind a foreign object being hurled at your mouth.

What handsome boys, I'm glad they're home.

That's hilarious! It compares to my oldest loosing her first tooth while eating a MARSHMELLOW! (And it wasn't even stale.)
