Lincoln's lost tooth

Alaina and Linc are now even in the lost tooth department. His two natal teeth were loose, and he lost one the other day. (to an apple) Alaina scared him of the tooth fairy saying she heard noises and a tinkling by the window, so we had to leave a note asking the tooth fairy not to come the first night, but he braved it the next night and was happy with the result. I think he'll have this little gap for a few years.

Happy Birthday Your Majesty

We (Alaina and I) thought the Queen's Birthday holiday last Monday was a great excuse for a tea party. We had lovely food:

Hot milo:


Fun company:


Good Manners:



And even a visit from Nee-nie Mc Phee:


Of course, it wasn't all stuffy and proper, though. We had loads of silly fun too:



Thanks for the excuse to get together and have fun, commonwealth government!

What makes me happy

The kids have this book called "What Makes Me Happy" it has pages like what makes me scared, or nervous, or bored, etc. So I thought I'd share some of what's been making me happy lately.


Reading:






(tongue involvement optional)

This Boy:



(who's begining to find the toddler within, complete with screaming and tantrums, but it's a pretty weak attempt and well, a little late.)


These two together:



Elissa runs into Alaina's class before they've finished, she's just so excited to see "Naina"
And Alaina complains about being followed around, but really, she's the best big sister. Here, she's comforting Elissa and explaining why Daddy won't let her touch the camera with her greasy fingers.


Chaos:


(because we might as well accept it)


Having a handyman in the house:


(and it's not Orvon)


"Choc-late":


Because since she learned to say it a week ago, she hasn't stopped.

She has also started saying "happy" just out of the blue, sitting in the back of the car or playing with her toys she'll just say "happy" I can only assume that's because she is, and there is nothing that can make me happier than knowing that.
