Lost Tooth

Madeline lost her first tooth tonight as she was brushing her teeth. She is so excited and anxiously awaiting the tooth fairy.

Cleaning up

Micah enjoys his confetti egg, but started to eat it so I had to take it away.

The girls had a tough time sweeping up all the confetti~ we are hoping for a lot of wind to blow it away!

Confetti Eggs






Down here in Texas there is a tradition at Easter of confetti eggs. We didn't really know what they were all about, but you see them everywhere, as people sell them by the roadside. Today I had the opportunity to make my own, and the kids got to "smash" them. After you hollow out the egg and clean it you paint and decorate it, fill it with confetti, and then glue tissue paper over the end. You are supposed to smash it on your head. We don't really get why they do it, but the girls thought it was fun.
