Annabelle and her drawing

Today, Annabelle stayed home from school because she was coughing so badly and spend the night with me in our bed. I knew she would be tired and she needed rest. So all morning, Jonah and Annabelle sat with me on the sofa watching cartoons. Then by early afternoon, they were feeling better. Annabelle was in a drawing mood and she drew this.

I just had to picture her and her drawing because it involves Jasmine. And I wanted Jasmine to see this. (As you know, she is in Australia on a missionary.)

Let's see her drawing.

So the drawing has a story. 

Annabelle was remembering her time with Jasmine when she had that first night out with Jasmine. She remembers it fondly.

So this is her and Jasmine inside her home on the top playing together. Blue is Jasmine's favorite color.

The pink triangle is the store. Her blue car, Jasmine driving and Annabelle sitting in the back. The purple triangle is her house.

The pink girls are "eating ice cream" (blue triangle above the pink girls is ice cream).

The blue girls on blue sofa sitting and talking.

All that hearts are love love love.

Annabelle misses Jasmine and loves her dearly.

Annabelle's first tooth lost!

Annabelle came home from school today missing a tooth that had been loose for a few weeks.

She does not know how she lost it. It's just gone!

Maybe she swallowed it, or lost it outside playing at the playground at school. It something we will never find out.

I have been looking forward for days for her tooth to fall out. Her papa insisted that I don't fool around with her tooth so I didn't. I grew up trying to loosen it, tie a string around it to pull it out and suchs.

So I just went to the library and got some books on caring for your teeth and a book on Tooth Fairy.

I had told her that she lost out a chance to give her tooth to the Tooth Fairy. She was nodding her head sadly and asked me if the other tooth will come out. I told her, oh yes but none are loose now. She said she can wait.

Smiling with one tooth missing.

I told her to smile "Bigger"

All smiling and happy.

Jonah asked me if his was loose. I checked and told him, not yet.

There'll be more and maybe I'll lose track of how many? See see?

Halloween, 2011

Halloween is here again!

FSDB is having a Halloween parade and asked that the children be dressed up arriving to school with a change of clothes.

Both kids are excited about participating in the parade and said they need costume.

This is what they were.

Annabelle

Jonah

Annabelle and Jonah just before getting on the bus to FSDB.

I made the face mask out of felt. Annabelle chose the color. Jonah would not participate so Annabelle decided for Jonah.

I crocheted the witch hats.

Happy Halloween

Annabelle's loose tooth

Annabelle's tooth is loose. I don't know why I am excited about this. A milestone? Or knowing that my nieces have already lost theirs. But I am excited.

My senor has expressively told me to leave her tooth alone. Gee? I tried hard not to and I've been surprising good about it. Pat, pat on my back.

Her first loose tooth!

Jonah grabbed her, she is annoyed.

Jonah and Annabelle

Jonah and his smile

Annabelle!

I wonder when it will PAH fall out?

Hooters girl!

When Justin is home at night, the kids love spending time with him. It is not often they get to play around with him but when they do, it's hard getting them ready for bed.

When I went in his room to get the kids to ready them for bed and it was a school night. When I saw what they were up to. I just went and got my camera!

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

:0)

You see, Justin used to work at Hooters as the cook. And how Annabelle dressed is just how Justin dressed for work. It was a hoot!

I loved how they put on his socks, on Justin it is calf high, while on them, thigh high! His shoes, t-shirt and hat!

They had a hoot of a time.

BJ's car cart

Every time we go to BJ's, without fail they want the car cart. They're not even tired of riding it.

Kids!

Yes, dear, I LOVE YOU both too!

Silver and the mole

Another one!

This time, true business, the mole.

Annabelle, papa, Jonah
mole

No words needed to be said of the poor dead mole. 

Silver was nowhere to be found. I had to confiscate from him. He was playing with it in the house. I truly truly hate it when he bring them in the house.

I now have a habit to double check when I see him running in the house. I check his mouth. Usually I find lizard or frog. Or he's a good boy.

I love that cat!
