Wednesday dental day
check this out:
The school nurse gave this to Jack after his tooth fell out when he took a big bite of salami at lunchtime today. It says TOOTH SAVER and it's tiny.
Inside was his tiny little tooth, the one on the right of his two front bottom teeth. That's three baby teeth lost now.
Funny that he should finally lose that tooth on the day he was scheduled to see Dr. Gibson for a filling. He's so amazing at the dentist. I'm just in awe. He insists on the special sunglasses to keep the light out of his eyes; he giggles when Dr. Gibson lowers the chair; he opens his mouth wide when told to do so and follows all directions from Dr. Gibson and the assistant. The only time he freaked a little was when Dr. G put the cotton in his mouth. Last time, when he had his teeth sealed, she said to him, "I'm going to put more cotton by your tongue," to which he replied, "No way, Jose!"
We had an M&M McFlurry at McD's as a post-dentist treat. Next week it's my turn, when I get my broken tooth drilled and crowned.

Halloween
The kids were cute for trick-or-treating. The big kids too.
Brock Star and Pirate Brazey.
Headgear lasted long enough for one picture.
We especially love the boots. And the ascot.
The boys were Jawas but refused to wear their masks for trick-or-treating. I can't blame them, really, as it was still in the low 80s when we left to trick-or-treat. The masks are white plastic covered in velour with no mouth holes and wires connecting to a battery pack holding 2 C-cell batteries. They consented to a picture, though. I sure had fun making the costumes.
They had a good night.

submission training
Cassie tried to take food from Brazey the other night. David administered some submission training.
Looks like Brazey learned pretty well.

the treatment
After Jack hopped off the bus he bounced home, shucked his backpack, and ran to the bathroom, where he had a giant pee and a pretty big stinkin' poop. He told me that he'd had diarrhea in the morning and even went to the bathroom during school not because he had to poop but just because he had to wipe his butt.
He told me he wanted water on his butt, to make it feel better. I told him he could have a bath. He said no, just water. Running water. Next thing I knew, he was outside with the garden hose giving himself a good old European bidet-less bidet treatment.
I refrained from photography.

public service announcement
Washing your hands frequently is the Number One way to keep germs from spreading.
The Number Two way to keep germs from spreading is to contain your breathing, saliva, and mucous within a self-sealed cardboard box with a cellophane windowpane.
All protective measures, however, are negated when you share your cardboard box with a family member. Even a family member you swap spit with regularly.
Protective measures are further compromised should your spit swapping partner share your cardboard box with a member of the family whose butt you regularly wipe.
Should your cardboard box be shared outside of your immediate family - even a member of your family of origin - forget about it. You're all getting staph.
For God's sake, don't share after this guy.
Good thinking.
Now incinerate that cardboard box and don't forget to wash your hands!

Evan is seven
Evan's "real" birthday was this past Friday. It's so hard for kids to understand how families celebrate the date of a child's birth, but then host a big party on the nearest weekend. Which day is the "real" birthday? I tried to explain it to Jack but he couldn't wrap his brain around it.
Could wrap his arms around Em for a big birthday bear hug, tho.
Evan had a Science!-filled birthday with lots of experiment-al and astronom-ical presents. That kid's a brain.
Brazey's turn comin' up in just three months.
Evan said, "Dad, are you going to sing in your Birthday voice?"
The answer was "yes." We all sang in our Birthday voices.
Happy Birthday, Em. We all love you.

invitation
I photoshopped this for Evan's birthday invitation. When Mandy showed it to him, he said, "Where was I?" Guess my photoshop skills are better than I thought.

Who am I?
I so love this. Jack brought it home from school today.
I mean, obviously it's Jack. And his two brothers? Evan and Brazey, of course.
