Project 52 - Week 9

First, if you haven't entered my giveaway for the new VeggieTales DVD, go check it out now.  I'll wait here.  Just be sure to come back!  :)

Okay, now that you are back, Happy March!  I can't believe it is March already!  February, even though it is the shortest month as far as number of days goes, usually drags on forever.  Not so this year.  Maybe because our winter hasn't really been much of a winter?  I don't know, but I'm so excited that spring is just over two weeks away!  I'm going to get some plants started indoors ... we are planting a butterfly garden this year complete with several varieties of milkweed for the Monarchs and parsley for the Swallowtails.  Plus lots of flowers so the butterflies stick around.  Oh, how I need some colorful things surrounding me!  Especially since winter apparently decided to wait until March to arrive!

Last week wasn't super exciting, but it wasn't a bad week either.  Except that Alex picked Tuesday to be sick and I had to miss Bible study.  He's okay, just had a slight fever which is now a cold.  I also got a project finished and spent some time with friends.  Three to be exact.  I was quite social last week.  :)

While Alex was home from school, he asked if he could play on my Kindle for a while.

I made a cover/stand for my Kindle Fire!  I started it on Monday at my friend, Laura's, house, but it didn't work out too well.  So I bought some more fabric and started over again on Wednesday.  It didn't turn our perfectly, but pretty good for a beginner!  Now Keira wants me to make one for her.

I finally ordered a new camera strap from Gina.  I wanted one for a long time but, for some reason, never bought one.  It arrived on Thursday and I love it!  It is even prettier in person!  Thanks, Gina!

We had a small milestone in our home last week also.  I bought Nick his first deodorant.  My boy is becoming a man!  {sniff sniff}  He says when he puts it on that he smells like "old dad," whatever that means.  :)

This is the face my husband makes when I take his picture.  Every.single.time.  But I barely have any recent photos of him, so I'll keep taking them.  Even if they all look like this.  :)

So that's just a sampling of our life last week.  Can't wait to see what you've been up to!

Alex lost another tooth on Saturday but we just got around to photographing the "big gap" today.  You can see his front tooth is already starting to grow in (beside the one that he just lost).  I was hoping his other front tooth would fall out so he would have that sweet toothless grin that kids so often get.  It is wiggly so there's still hope.  But if he loses any more teeth, we'll have to puree his food!  :)

Snaggletooth Alex

When Alex woke up this morning, he showed me that one of his front teeth was wiggly and bleeding.  Shortly after, I left on a field trip with Keira and thought for sure when he got home from school today, he would have already lost the tooth.  But he got off the bus with the snaggletooth still in place.  Barely hanging by a thread.

I talked him into letting me snap a couple photos, since it was pretty funny looking. :)

Nanny McPhee anyone?  :)

He was afraid to pull it out because he expected it to hurt.  I can't really blame him for not wanting any more pain after getting stitches on Tuesday.  But I told him he could be brave enough and try.  And I would reward him with some ice cream.  So he did it!

All by himself!  He was so proud!  And it didn't even bleed.  He was so excited to leave his tooth under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy visit tonight.  (Hope she doesn't forget!)  :)
