santa and the tooth fairy

 A few years back Andrew was asking about santa, we figured telling him the truth and the real meaning of Christmas was much more important.   After loosing his first tooth, the question about the tooth fairy came up and we had a talk about the tooth fairy.  The funny part about all of this is that he knows the truth, put still likes to play the part of not knowing-which is almost funner for Jas and I.  I mean really, we wake up on Christmas morning and see the cookies that were laid out, cookie crumbles, and a cup of milk that is partially gone- whats not to believe?  Well back to the tooth fairy, he lost this tooth on Monday morning, but forgot to put it under his pillow-so the tooth fairy couldn't come that night.  Last night the tooth fairy just plum forgot-anyway who wants to get out of bed and go upstairs in the middle of the night and exchange it for a few coins?  I'm sure he will try again tonight and hopefully we will remember.  I mean what are you supposed to do with those teeth anyway (after saving the first one). Jas tried to throw his last one away and I about had a coronary -I mean really, you cant save all of those teeth YUCK-hopefully he never puts away our laundry, because I have a stash of teeth in my underwear drawer.

Conversation Between to Brothers

Last night as I was preparing supper, Andrew was emptying out the dishwasher, and Tyse was setting the table (see below) Andrew starts up this conversation out of the blue.

Andrew: (very serious)--Tyse, you just wait until you have a little brother

Tyse: huh? (really has no clue that Andrew is talking to him-he's occupied with setting the table)

Andrew: When he comes then you will start getting into lots of trouble

end of conversation

It makes me laugh when Andrew is having a conversation with Tyse, because he talks to him in a super serious way (we dont see that alot) and Tyse will start to get real serious too. FUN FUN

Merry Christmas

Ok, so every year I decide that we are going to send out christmas cards. This was going to be the year, I had my mind set, we were really going to get a great picture. It didn't even have to be great- just one that looked a bit civilized (like just letting the lights peacefully dangle over them instead of sticking them up their nose)....here was our failed attempt. Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone!!
