Nile's toothy adventure

Saturday night Nile woke up and came down to our bed complaining of a sore mouth.  We got him his water bottle and didn't think too much more about it.  He lay between us moaning and groaning so nobody got much sleep.  The next morning he said he had a sore in his mouth and we noticed that around one of his front teeth there was a lot of swelling but that tooth was only a tiny bit loose.  As the day went on the swelling got worse and he napped a little after some pain reliever.  Monday I brought him in to the dentist and they took an x-ray.  They noticed that his permanent tooth was coming in and pushing on the baby tooth but also the tooth was very large and would come in crooked if they didn't take out the three front baby teeth that were still in his mouth.  Poor Nile has inherited my small mouth and large teeth.  The dentist wiggled out a total of three teeth and Nile did great after an initial freak out and a bloody nose we got him calmed down and the dentist was able to do his work.  Nile was allowed to pick two prizes and two stickers from the treasure chest and then we headed to Wal-Mart for a new ninja turtle.  The tooth fairy also visited last night and left a little something too!

 

I know this is a terrible picture but it gives you an idea of the swelling and you can see a before shot with more teeth!

 

A day later when the swelling has gone down and he is feeling 100% better!

Looking like a jack-o-lantern just in time for Halloween!

Aubrey's new playhouse

I had an outdoor playhouse on Aubrey's birthday list for next year but you cant beat a good deal.  I happened to see this playhouse listed on facebook by a friend so we got it a little early!  After looking at the prices of a new one and the price for this one it was a no brainer!  She LOVES the fact that it is pink and wants to play outside in it all the time.  Luckily it has warmed up a little again right now and we have been able to enjoy it already.

Pinata time!

the whole group

 

This past Saturday we had a house full of wild 2nd grade boys!  And one Kindergartner!  They were loud and silly and had lots of fun.  We had cake and snacks, then presents and a pinata.  Hayden had a great weekend celebrating turning 8!!

Happy 8th Birthday Hayden

Well as hard as it is to believe I have been a mother for 8 years!  I know, I know - I dont look a day over 25 but it is true!  Heehee.  Even though Hayden wasnt planned by us he was certainly planned by God and he is such a blessing to our whole family!  It is amazing to watch him grow and learn.  The boys had school yesterday with an early out for the teachers.  I went and ate lunch with Hayden for his birthday and then we played at recess.  After Aubrey woke up from her nap Hayden opened his presents from us and played a little while before we headed to Applebees for supper.  He was allowed to pick where we went and since Culver's - his #1 pick hasnt opened yet we went to Applebees.  After supper and Hayden's birthday dessert shooter the boys headed to church and Aubrey and I hung out at home.
Friday Hayden has a birthday party to attend for a good friend from his old school and the Saturday is his "friend" party at our house.  Sunday he gets his first grown up Bible from the church and we are having the family party afterwards at our house again.  I should probably be cleaning the house but I am going to wait and do that tomorrow after Aubrey and I get a few groceries and run to the bank.  Here are a few picture of his opening presents yesterday.  I am sure I will have more to add after the two parties.

Nile lost his first baby tooth!

Yesterday Hayden's brushed his loose tooth right out of his mouth before school and this morning Nile pulled out his first loose tooth at breakfast.  I am not a fan of the loosing teeth phase so luckily the boys do ok on their own and they have Daddy if needed.  Nile was very excited to tell everyone at school about his new space in his mouth.  Just in time for a dentist visit later this week!  Guess that tooth fairy will be at our house two nights in a row!
