Sabrina Loses her first tooth!

While we're still unsure of exactly what transpired prior to her tooth loosening up on Monday (many odd parts of the story, like the fact that it happened "at school" on a Sunday...and nobody from school reported anything happening), but regardless of the story, by Thursday morning the tooth was out and saved in a special envelope designed by Sabrina and Poppy, destined for the tooth fairy.  We took her to the dentist (she was a bit nervous about that, as you can see) but he xrayed her front teeth and showed us that the big teeth are right there and the roots are starting to dissolve, so he saw no trauma or issues at all.  Just time for the tooth fairy!  And a special Jamba Juice trip for being so great at the dentist.  Followed by a session of "working from home with mom" which was clearly hysterical.

What a big girl.

The new swings are a hit!

Brent spent some serious time on the ladder in the past two weeks installing new swings for the girls. He got battle scars on his knuckles to prove it. The bonus with these swings is that they can both get into them on their own and they're both starting to figure out how to "pump" to get themselves going.  Parental Freedom while cooking dinner!  

This is a classic Kali face and it's accompanied by a deep, guttural cackle.

The girl LOVES to play!

And this is a classic Sabrina outfit right now.  

She wears the brown "fancy" dress about 5 days/week, changing into it immediately upon getting home after school.  Recently she's started wearing huge colored glasses and enormous jeweled rings too. I think she might end up an old Jewish lady in New York City if this continues...

Breckenridge Oktoberfest 2014

Uh oh. I think these kids had a little too much fun at Oktoberfest Breckenridge. Liederhosen, Dirndls, face painting, polka music, enormous pretzels, and beer. We loved it all.
