Time to catch up!

Clayton has lost his first tooth! He had a few loose teeth & one has been hanging on for dear life! I have begged him to let me pull it out, but no way! Connor sat Clayton down & told him that his tooth needed to come out & if he pulled it out Clayton would just feel a quick tug & there might be a little blood, but then the tooth fairy would come & he could play Connor's Wii! That is what did it! Clayton has been grounded from the Wii for a while...so a few minutes later out they come with Clayton in shock & his first tooth in his hand! That night the tooth fairy came, and I went in his room to see what he got for his tooth & Clayton was in bed, very quiet! I asked him what the tooth fairy brought him & then came the tears! He explained that he "hates the tooth fairy! & that "she is so stupid!" I found out that she took his tooth & left him NOTHING in return. I assured him that she was nice & I know she left him something. we took his bed apart & found his dollar at the foot of his bed, under his blankets! He was then very excited & couldn't wait to tell his class. (they have a chart for all the kids who have lost teeth) Well, he had a sub that day & had to wait until the next day!

While Bill was working out of town, my Dad came by with a project for Connor. They spent the day building garden boxes for my garden! Grandpa had Connor build them & he showed Connor how to use the drill, & make sure they were square & in just the right spot! He even made little plaques for Connor to put on the boxes showing that he made them & when! It was very cool & I think they both enjoyed themselves! Connor was very excited to walk away from the project with his very own drill set as well! Thanks Grandpa!

now I need to get busy & plant something in my garden!

WAL*MART is open in Saratoga Springs! What a great thing to happen out here! We went to the grand opening party on Saturday & they had free face painting,(Clayton wanted nothing to do with that)Free Lego make & take,water bottles, drinks,balloons, & samples. Claire loved getting her face painted & asked all day if her makeup was "still the same" She thought she was going to wear it to church & was sad when I had to wash it off.

Today Bill's job wasn't ready for him yet so he & Claire went on a date! They look so cute. Thier plans are to go to Ikea & look for a bed for her! I wonder if they will come home with something?
