A Loose Tooth and Pliers

Eliza lost her very first baby tooth on October 17th. She was soooooo excited to put it under her pillow. A lot more excited to put it under her pillow then she was for me to pull it out. Before school she came and showed me how loose her tooth was. I could wiggle it to almost a 90 degree angle with her gums. So I pushed on the tooth a little and it popped like they do.  Eliza freaked out and said don't touch my tooth. It had started to bleed a little and I asked her to just let me look at it again. Her tooth was so tiny I couldn't get a hold of it. I went and grabbed my needle nose pliers I use for crafts.  I put them in my pocket and told her to close her eyes and tip her head up. Of course she started franticly asking what I was going to do.  When she saw the pliers she covered her mouth and tried to run. I asked her to just let me grab her tooth once and if it hurt I wouldn't touch it agian. She gave me about 3 seconds and then started crying again that her tooth hurt and I couldn't touch it, but by this time her tooth was not even in her mouth any more. I showed her the tooth and immediatly everything was fine and she was excited to have lost her first tooth. She is growing up fast!

A new friend

So I wanted a little dog. Mac let me get one because he said it was the first time he remembers me, not him, wanting to get a pet. I wanted a Dotson because I'm allergic to the long haired little dogs like yorkies and schitzus. We got the cutest puppy in the world. Her name in Penny and she is 5 months old. She is a puppy and she chews on everything but luckily I like her. So I am a lot more patient with her then any other dog we have owned. She is very cuddly and very active. I finally got a good picture of her. We have had her for almost four weeks now.

The Most Hectic Week Ever

Last week was the busiest week ever. I had a paper due in History and Philosophy. The primary program that I was in charge of for Church had a practice on Saturday and then the performance on Sunday. Taylor's birthday was on Saturday. We were going to have a family party for her on Sunday because on Saturday we had the rehearsal and another birthday party too. So every spare moment I wasn't writing, I was trying to get the house clean or make decorations for Taylor's cake. Taylor wanted a Hannah Montana cake, I didn't really want that theme so I surprised her. I made a cake with a guitar standing on top and butterflies and flowers all around. The butterflies looked great but I had to make all the decorations a couple days in advance so they would be hard. While I was making some flowers Bobby put a pop tart in the microwave for three minutes. It lit on fire and then lit the paper plate it was on on fire. Yellow smoke filled my kitchen. As I was trying to get the burning plate outside the pop tart fell on the floor and burnt my linoleum. Luckily that was the only disaster that struck. Everything else went off without a hitch. I was so exhausted by the end of the week! Taylor loved her cake and had a great birthday. I can't believe she is already nine years old.  She is getting to that point where she doen't play with as many toys so deciding what presents to get her is harder. I got her some clothes and a yoga mat for dance class. She got a couple cds, some movies, clothes, and a paint by number kit. She liked everything she got and really had a nice party.

This Onion will last a month!

We harvested all our onions the other day (when I say we I mean Mac did it while I was at school). We had a good harvest. The onions over filled a laundry basket. Last year our onions stayed good until March so hopefully these ones will last as long. While most of the onions were your regular run of the mill grocery store variety, we had three that were HUGE! They were so heavy that Bobby could barely hold them up. I had to have Bobby hold them against his chest and then quickly hold them out so I could take a picture.
