Thing 1 and Tooth 4

Today was Dr. Seuss Character day at school to raise money for United Way.  I never in a million years thought it would be so hard to come up with a good costume.  Jackson read lots of Dr. Seuss books to decide on a character, but he kept picking characters that would require a furry costume or more time.  He didn't want to be the Cat in the Hat because he didn't want to paint his face at school.  So, I finally coerced him into he finally chose to dress-up as Thing 1.  It was simple, which made life easier on me!  We just bought a blue wig and used the red clothes he already had.  I wrote his "Thing 1" on paper and used double-sided tape to attach it to his shirt and Voila! - Thing 1...

I am usually all over a dress-up day as well, but the kids got out at noon today so we could attend professional development.  No dress-up day for Mommy :(

Before Thing 1 got dressed for school, he posed for a picture with his tooth fairy money from his 4th lost tooth.  Now all he wants for Halloween is his two front teeth!  We were skip-counting by 5's while doing homework and he said "Man, it's really hard to say your fives without your front teeth!"

Yet again, this post revolves around Jackson - I promise I'm working on a Kendall post or two!

Yesterday, Kendall says to me "Momma, my nose is running!"  I said, "I'm so sorry, let's get you a tissue."  She says, "Hurry, my nose is running OUT!"



It wasn't dress-up day at Thing 2's school, but she still wanted her picture taken (with her waffle and goofy grin!)



Verse of the day - "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:38
