A knock out!

We have some BIG news around here.  I told you a few weeks ago that someone had a wiggly tooth.....WELL...not anymore!

Tonight, while I was doing the dinner dishes, the kids were having a very innocent pillow fight with the couch pillows in our play room.  They do this a lot and Kate loves it.  Harry hit Kate in the face (gently) with a pillow and it really loosened her tooth more.  Then, Will immediately hit her in the back of the head with another pillow and her tooth popped out!  All I heard was a scream.  The blood kind of freaked her out.  It took us a few minutes to find the tooth in the carpet!

gave Kate years ago}

{she is just SO SO excited for the tooth fairy!}

{she LOVES her big brothers so much!}

I think it is so funny how Kate's 1st tooth fell out because although she has two big brothers, my boys are not really rough and tumble kind of boys.  I am kind of glad they knocked it out because it has been loose for a few weeks and it was not really making progress.  The boys kind of helped it along;)

In other news, it is Spirit week at Will's new high school.  And as part of that, the seniors traditionally shave the freshmen heads before the big rival football game this weekend.  Will has a large scar covering half his head (from a head surgery when he was an infant) so the school did not want to shave this head.  We went and had his done professionally.  You ought to see some of these kids.  They have all sorts of reverse mohawks and quilt patterns on their heads!!!  It is 100% voluntary and most of the freshmen really want to participate.

Harry has his first middle school dance tomorrow night (oh my word!). Will is going to his first high school football game (and a dance).  And Dave, Kate and I will be going to our first high school football game in Texas too.  My peanuts are growing up, y'all!
