We had a very exciting weekend! On Saturday night, Bryce told me his mouth was hurting. I looked at it and we discovered his first loose tooth!
Bryce has been waiting for a very long time to have a loose tooth. In fact, for the past year, he has periodically asked me to check his mouth for loose teeth. When he found out the he actually had one, he was ecstatic! He immediately got his Tooth Fairy box that Aunt Lynne made for him in anticipation of placing his first tooth inside of it.
Bryce wiggled his tooth all evening on Saturday. He begged us to tie dental floss around it to pull it out. Ouch! I don't know where he learned about that trick! He asked John to pull out his tooth and John started wiggling. After a few tries, the tooth came out!
Bryce and Landon made squids for dinner tonight. It wasn't the healthiest meal, but was definately a lot of fun! I found the recipe in Family Fun magazine. We cut up hot dogs and the boys pierced spaghetti into them. When they were cooked, they looked like squids!
Bryce had a day off school today in recognition of Martin Luther King Day. I asked him if he wanted to do something special and he said, "I want to stay home all day long!" So that's what we did! A highlight of the day was the obstacle course Bryce and Landon created together. They ran, jumped on the mini trampoline then landed on pillows. It was a great day!
We went to the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg yesterday. The boys had a blast! In this picture, Bryce is standing in front of an antique tractor. He loved sitting on all of the tractors and checking them out.
Landon followed Bryce's lead and testes out the tractors too!
Landon and Bryce loved looking at all of the animals - rabbits, chickens, birds, cows, horses, just to name a few. Bryce was very brave and touched almost every one.
Molly and Wally joined us for an evening of fun at the Farm Show.
There were many educational displays and activities for the kids. In this picture, the boys are playing in a pool filled with seeds.
I recently began working part-time again so Landon and I have been enjoying a lot of daytime activities together. We spent a few hours at the library this morning and Landon loved it! It was the first time that we went there without Bryce.
Landon definately soaked up the one-on-one time and he selected his own books without the Bryce's input. He was so happy to be sole decision maker about books!
We rang in 2010 with the Conrads! Bryce and Landon had a great time playing with their cousins on New Year's Eve and everyone stayed up until midnight to watch the clock turn over to 2010!
A highlight of the night was when Hunter and Wyatt got their pet turtle out of its tank. Both Bryce and Landon picked it up and examined it!
Bryce has really enjoyed all of the snow we've received this season. He and John built their first snowman together.
Bryce proudly posed for a photo beside his snowman.
