Tooth Fairy Frequent Flyer!

So, Dumpling lost the second tooth two days after the first and today Pumpkin lost one.  It's so fun!  They get so excited about it all.  I'm just glad to have a break from watching them wiggle the teeth.  That always creeps me out.  (Poor Cupcake just is not happy about being excluded from this.  Here's to hoping she won't try to take a tooth out herself!)
The helicopter is STILL flying overhead every.single.day. from 6:40 am to 4:30 pm.  Having been working out in the garden a lot this last week I can honestly say I'm ready for it to fly away forever.  At least it's not keeping the Tooth Fairy from flying!  ;)
Off to go shower after gardening and meet up with a friend in town for supper.  I miss doing this.

Smile!

Dumpling is just a little excited!!!!  He's lost his first tooth.  The second one should be out any day and the big teeth are already ready to move in.  The Tooth Fairy visited and left a gold dollar coin.  Good motivation to get that next tooth out, too.  ;)
Can you believe how big he is?

Sunflower Seeds, Anyone?

 I thought I'd sell packets of seeds at the fairs and tuck them into the gift baskets.
 I thought I'd print out these pictures and have them on my sign for the seeds.
Wouldn't you buy something from these guys?  They pretty irresistible.

We've got lots of pumpkins, too! 

Blue Eyed Boy

 

And Now He's Six

 What can I say about this boy?  He is amazing. 
Truly.
He is so full of life, of love.  It makes me teary just to try and write these words.
He is a delight from the moment he awakens till he finally gives in to the struggle and falls asleep.
He doesn't want to miss a thing.
He right there to help when asked.
He always has a kiss and a hug.
He'll happily snuggle forever if he can find someone else willing to sit that long.
And yet, he loves his trucks, helping Daddy, Legos, and dirt.  Lots of dirt.
He's fascinated by how things work and happiest when he can just be free to play.
He's intensely curious, but being quieter than most other members of the family, not everyone sees it.
Well, not really quieter in that he's usually making the sounds of whatever truck he's playing with, but he doesn't talk as much.  Sometimes I think his lips will just vibrate right off.
He's such a little flirt as well.  Always picking flowers to give to any female. 
And that grin?  It'll melt your heart.
Especially when he does that thing with his eyes and eyebrows.
He's hilariously funny, too.
He is simply...wonderful.

Diving into his cake.

On the phone with the family far away.

Opening his Hulk gift. 

They hands went on and the fists began to fly.  Too bad the pictures all were blurry.

Everyone took their turns with this gift.

Or tried to.

There were also lots of Legos.

 

Everyone helping him build.

I love this boy.

I Have

No Idea.
But this pretty much sums up my boy.

First Fish



 Pumpkin caught his first fish yesterday!!
I think his smile was as big as the fish. 

Dumpling is holding Sweetheart's catch.

Stylish, isn't he? 
He gets it from his Father.

Cupcake pet the fish. 
That was enough for her.

We all enjoyed our pizza dinner as they arrived just moments after I posted yesterday. 
Guess I'd better keep making extra pizzas to freeze for fishing days.  ;)

dear boy

An Alfresco Lunch

 
So, it's 50* outside.  Must be time for eating out.
I took this picture from inside before they noticed me.

Once they noticed me, they sprang into action.  I think they are ninjas today.

Ahh... Spring is on its way.

I read this great post on life and balancing it all.  I loved it and just wanted to share it with you.

Smile!

Have a nice day.

Community Egg Hunt

Cupcake!

Dumpling's Grin

He totally froze when it was time to get the eggs.  I ended up going with him holding his hand.

  

We had so much fun after the hunt just running around playing together.

Please notice Cupcake's ADORABLE dress/pinafore handmade by the lovely Bonnie!!!

She ended up with all the eggs at one point.

He still had fun.

Anyone still wondering how Cupcake got all that hair?
