That was quick.

On August 9, the tooth fairy paid a visit to our house. Zack had a wiggling tooth and at dinner time he was showing me just how far it would bend. I asked him if I could touch it, after a tiny bit of anxiety, he caved in and let me touch it. What he did not realize was the second I touched the tooth, I pulled it out. I had taken it out and set it on the table before he realized it was even out. Although it is his second tooth that he has lost, it is the first one he has lost naturally. The first one was knocked out in a playground accident.

We wrote a note to the tooth fairy and she left one in return telling him that his tooth was going to look good in her collection and to continue brushing and flossing his teeth. She also left a gold coin and 4 quarters. He was excited when he woke up the next morning to see what she left.

This evening he came up to me and said "Mom put your fingernail where my tooth was". I did not have to, I could already see the new tooth is already coming in. Seems pretty quick to me but then again what do I know.

Zack's Message

Zack and I leave messages for each other on his chalkboard which we keep in the dining room.
This afternoon he left a message for me and I could not help but take a picture and share it.

If you are having trouble reading it, it says 'I am hugnry'. Yes he spelled Hungry wrong but that is ok. He is only 5 after all.

BTW the M is connected it just did not appear that way in the photo.

Ice Cream Day

It is national ice cream day and we don't have any ice cream in the house! I swear I just bought some when I went shopping this past week but it has magically disappeared.

Wrong spelling.

When ever Zack does something silly I always tell him "You're fired... F.I.R.E.D fired." Well now that Indigo is around a lot I have taken to telling her the same thing.

Tonight at dinner we were talking about our upcoming trip to the beach. I asked her if I could dunk her in the water. She told me yes but I have to save her because I am strong. I laughed a bit but what came out oh her mouth next really had me laughing. She looked me in the eye and said "you're fired... A.B.C.D.S fired!" So apparently I have been spelling fired wrong this whole time.

Independence Day

Happy
4th
of
July

I asked Zack the other day if he knew what the fourth of July meant. He told me it was the day we celebrate Americans. So to all you Americans, I celebrate you today!

Last night Zack was a lucky little boy. Just about the time he was going to bed, someone in the next development started shooting off fireworks. They could be seen very clearly from Zacks bedroom window, so clearly from his window in fact that I was able to open the curtains and blinds so he could watch them while laying in bed.

They actually put on a decent show considering it was someone doing it at home and not a professional.
