We went to Salvation Army today (it’s 50% off on Wed.) to get some button down short sleeved shirts for Nate. We came back with five beautiful plaid shirts that are perfect for church or whatever, a pink purse for Callie to replace the one she can’t find from like a year & a half ago, and A BOW TIE for Anders.:) One buck!!! This is him running out the door the moment we got home, after first getting his white dress shirt & vest on. THAT is why I don’t want to spend much money on this kind of thing. But he is one proud little boy today. Never mind that he looks like a miniature Ike Godsey.
They had one bow tie in the whole store – a nice black (or maybe dark navy?) perfect one. It’s good quality, too, so I’m thinking it should last as long as he doesn’t lose it. Speaking of losing things, Nate lost another tooth on the way to the store. It’s a really good thing our tooth fairy gives out dimes or she’d have gone broke this week! Here’s Nate hanging out on Study Island showing me his freshly pulled tooth. Doesn’t he look relaxed & happy?
Anyway, all total, we spent 18$ & that included a cute little two piece baseball outfit for Anders that he doesn’t need but I couldn’t resist. He’s so into sports right now & I don’t think that’s going to go away any time soon with him.
Now, we probably should start thinking about getting Callie some new pj’s, don’t you think? Kids. They just keep growing!
Callie lost two teeth yesterday – the ones on either side of the two front teeth she recently lost. Yikes! Four teeth out all in a row. Luckily the two front ones are starting to pop in, but it sure looks… remarkable.
To see what else she’s been up to lately, see Flickr to the left. In Science, she just finished up studying the body systems (nervous, digestive, respiratory, etc.) & is starting the plant unit so we started our germination baggies today – one in the fridge, one in the drawer, and one in the window sill – to see if cold or dark make a difference. Amazingly, she doesn’t remember us doing this last year. She loved it then, but I guess that was such a long time ago to her. She will get to be amazed all over again (as I am every spring) at the wonder of God’s beautiful creation.
