well, we were all quite surprised when she came into the kitchen this morning minus one teeny pearly white. little miss five year old lost a tooth!
and yes, she actually did *lose* the tooth. we're not sure if she swallowed it, or if it accidentally was flushed down the potty. she's very sketchy on the details, and the toothfairy really is not a stickler for details. with poppa's help, she drew a picture of her tooth to leave for the toothfairy, just in case some dental evidence is needed tonight, you know? she is so excited to go to school tomorrow as she is the first person in her class to have lost a tooth. thankfully, the toothfairy is well-stocked on dollar coins...our's is decidedly old-school.
it was such a rainy day that we stayed in our pj's all day long; well, except for wade who made it to the gym and the grocery store. monkey bread for breakfast (and lunch!) and a yummy potato + leek soup for supper. actually, the girls had little ham sammies on fresh croissants. they would not even go near the soup, although they did have some very opinated comments about it..."ewww it's so stinky"," it looks like garbage that you blended", "not even a garbage person from garbage land would eat that". truth be told, the color was not very appetizing (and it was pureed), but it was sooo delicious. oh well, more soup for me (wade wasn't really a big fan either; in all fairness, he's not a big fan of any soups). i'll spare you a photo because i am thinking that on looks alone, you would side with the girls. i probably would, too.
it really was a good weekend.
the fact that i had some uninterupted time friday night (on into saturday morning) to finish up my projects for the book was such a huge bonus (yay for mimi and pops!). no rest for the weary (or is that 'the wicked'?), though. there is writing to be done. i can't wait to spill some of the details! suffice to say that come november 2011, i will be a published author.
i'll leave you with this little bit of wisdom...stripe-y socks make *everything* better.
edited to add...croissants make just about everything taste better, too!
We had potato leek soup too! Luckily, my kids love it. I have to fight them off for my share. Maybe next time I'll serve it with those little sandwiches - that sounds delicious.
ReplyDeletedang, you're fast, lady!!! i hadn't even finished the post yet. i didn't realize that i had accidentally posted it, and then i pulled it back up to edit...i didn't know that the original one was still out there.
ReplyDeleteand a croissant can make just about anything taste delicious!!
We love potato leek soup around these parts. It is my oldest son's favorite! Of course, it does look gross before you blend it. I agree about your socks too. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteit was actually the pureed soup that made them freak out!!! i mean really, garbage people from garbage land would have never turned their snouts up at this soup! :)
ReplyDeleteBoy I love leek and potato soup but I never seem to make it successfully myself. I continue to seek the recipe that will be mine for the rest of my life, it's not a bad journey!
ReplyDeleteMy 5 year old lost her first two teeth just before Christmas (I had to pull the second out which was horrible and very traumatic - for me) and she was so excited! One of her good friends has lost at least 6 so she was a bit mopey, and now that she's lost two another friend who hasn't lost any is feeling sad. Competitive tooth-loss, who'd have thought!
Congratulations on the book - can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have recently decided (based on my own experience and then confirmation in blogland) that soup is a 'girl thing'. Bloggers everywhere seem to be saying that their husbands aren't fond of soup - and I thought it was just my soup-making skills :)
Cheers!
