Tooth Fairy

Cyan lost a tooth on Thanksgiving.  At first her plan was to take to to school to trick the teacher to think it came out at school.  She changed her mind on Sunday and wanted the Tooth Fairy to come.  Well that darned Tooth Fairy somehow forgot so not to let that happen again Cyan made a sign and a note.  Here they are:

Just to make sure you can read the bottom one.  It says:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

I did not really mean to take my tooth to school! Sorry!  By they way my tooth cracked and I was hoping that I get $200,000

Thanksgiving Dinner Part 2

Since James had to work on Thanksgiving we had another dinner on his day off.   We even roasted the turkey while we were at the Nutcracker.  Here are some pics of the meal.

Nutcracker

All four of us went to the Nutcracker today and it was James' first ballet.  It was a very good performance, even James thought it was good.

Line in the carpet

James put a line of masking tape on the carpet for Cyan to practice cartwheels like she was on the balance beam.  Olivia came downstairs and looked at the line with horror.  She said "Did Mom say you could do that?"

A girl after my heart...

Black Friday

Here is the line I stood in for the Black Friday shopping.  Actually this is where I was after I waited for an hour.  Thank goodness I went with a friend.

Turn your head - I cannot get the pic to load correctly.

Thanksgiving cards

Here are cards that the girls made me at school for Thanksgiving.  Pretty touching cards.

Cyan's is a little harder to read so I will tell you what it says.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for picking America for us to live.  I'm so thankful for having a family with you guys.  I appreciate the food, home, love, toys, America, Grandma and Grandpa.  Another thing I'm thankful for the yellow warm house.  Another thing I'm thankful for the homemade, yummy food.  Another thing I am thankful for is all your love. 

Love,
Cyan

Pick his nose

Olivia and I were running an errand on Sunday.  I let her sit in the front seat since it was a short trip and it was just her and I. 

On the way home she looked at me and said "Mom, I just want to be a kid forever, just a plain ole kid" 

I said "Why is that?"

She said "If you grow up you have to get a job, get a husband and pick his nose."

Chicken update

Here are the chickens now...
