Squirrel for dinner?

Only for Matt!

We called today our primitive Saturday.  He ate squirrel and we put seed in to cups with soil to hopefully grow starter plants to put in our garden.

SMILE...LOOK WHAT IS MISSING!

This morning, Ian lost his first tooth!  It had a little help from many things, but most recently it was the floor. For the last week, Matt and I kept checking on it, since it had started to drop a little farther down every day. An hour before we left for his first dentist appointment, he showed me his little tooth in the palm of his hand.  I asked him if he pulled it out, he looked a little sheepish and I told him it was alright if he had.  He finally confessed that he pulled on it a little and it came right out, with out hurting or any blood.
He did wonderful at the dentist office. The decided to do an x-ray since it had what they called "trauma" to it and did not come out because his adult tooth had pushed it out.  The x-ray came back fine!  He was excited to go home and put his tooth under his pillow so that he could get a coin from the tooth fairy.

After he went to bed.  I waited until ten o'clock before I tried to sneak in and put his coins and a five dollar bill under his pillow. Every other night I could walk into their room and put clothes away and do a number of things in there and neither one of them wake up.  However tonight, as soon as I started to climb the steps of the bunk bed ladder, Ian sat straight up and asked me for a drink of water.  So I quickly got him some water to drink, told him good night and shut the door.  Around midnight, I made my second attempt, this time I tried to put the money under his pillow without climbing on the ladder. Only this time I dropped one of the quarters onto the hard wood floor.  After holding my breath for a few seconds and not moving I realized they were not going to wake up! After a few minutes of running my hands along the floor I found the dropped quarter and finally got the money put under the pillow and the tooth out from under it.  I walked back into our room and Matt was standing their smiling at me because he had heard the coin ping off of the floor.  I told him I needed to go to "TOOTH FAIR" school!
