Lost Tooth

It's official! Hallie has finally lost a tooth. It was so loose that it was hurting her, but not loose enough to just pull it out. Mark did the old trick of tying a string around the tooth and then to a doorknob. It popped right out! She cried the whole time even though it didn't hurt one bit.

She was a little weirded out by not having a tooth where it should be. She was in bed and came out to say, "Mom, this is really weird and totally ridiculous! I mean it. It's just ridiculous!". Too funny, Hallie. It definitely was not ridiculous to her when she saw the money from the Tooth Fairy!

Fourth of July

This year the Fourth of July was a lot of fun. We started out at the parade, Natalie's first! She was so funny, just taking everything in. You can see from the picture that she's really concentrating. After awhile, she started getting mad at the sirens and started yelling back at them when they would come by. It was too funny. And she also waved for the first time at the parade! It was so stinking cute.

We also taught Asher and Hallie this year that you have to yell and cheer if you want the candy. We ended up going home with half a grocery bag full of treats and other stuff. They were so proud of themselves! We spent the rest of the day hanging out together and with family.

Then we went to the fireworks. The coolest fireworks ever! I love the fourth!

New(ish) Floors

I have new flooring! Well, kinda. I got so tired of the ugly forest green carpet in our living room so I ripped it up despite my fears of beat up hard wood floors beneath. To my surprise, they were in pretty good shape for the most part. I'm not fond of old houses, but I do love the old flooring!
