Small bits to share

Last night Eric came running to tell us that his tooth fell out! He was surprised that it just fell right out. LOL So we gave him his $2 bill and he happily went back to bed. :) Colleen is now trying to figure out how to earn $2 bill when she isn't losing teeth yet. LOL
William has started to suck on his first two fingers. I find it funny that all four of our kids have been different. Fiona sucked her thumb. Eric had a paci, Colleen wouldn't take either. Now William started on a paci and is moving on to his fingers. LOL

William Laughed!

Yesterday Fiona got William to giggle a couple of times. We were both so excited!  She was talking to him as he was squealing and then he giggled. :)  We can't wait to hear more giggles from him.

I love our library

So today Fiona had a dentist appointment. It went great. :)  Everyone behaved well and William took a nice nap.  The ladies there commented a couple of times on how well behaved all of the kids are and even let Colleen and Eric get something out of the reward drawer even though they didn't have an appointment today. Afterward we went to the library.
I knew I needed to pay fines and also planned on buying a book since we can't seem to find it so we can return it. I owed $5.85 (not bad!) So I got out my debit card and she told me, "We only take cash and checks. We can't take debit cards."  What?!? Who doesn't take debit cards? :P  So I dig out what cash I have in my wallet and go find what I can in the van. (we don't carry cash on us usually)  I came up with $4.45 (crap!) So now I'm standing there with my kids who are all excited about getting their books (Fiona had 11 books ready to check out!) and I'm dreading telling them that they can't get them after all. :(  Then the lady starts walking around, looking in drawers and in the back. Turns out she was rounding up money. The library covered the rest of my fines!  I was (still am actually) in shock. I was almost in tears over the kindness.
I love our library. :)

About the fish...

at the bottom of the screen...  They are just something fun to add to the blog.  They will follow your cursor and if you click you can feed them. :)  Fun!

Fun on the swing set

So, Fiona and Eric were outside playing and I thought maybe I should check on them. I peek out and see this.

 

In case you can't tell, they have flipped that swing over and are riding it upside down. I let them carry on for awhile and then told them to flip it back. I'm not so sure that the manufacturers had that in mind when they made it. LOL I'd hate for the swing to break on them.
