My baby lost a tooth

Cal has had a loose tooth for a month or so now and the other tooth was growing in behind the loose one. It was ready to come out. Matt had told him he would pull it, but I sort of thought that it was his first tooth, it should come out on its own. Well.........we were at Matt's office last Monday the 23rd and all the sudden Cal asked if Matt could pull his tooth. I could not argue, we were at the dentist! Ha!

Here is his before picture. I do have a little tear!

Here is Matt with the tooth in his hand. After just one little pull.

Two proud boys!!!!!!!

After

We have realized there is much debate over the tooth fairy rate these days (Cal's teacher this year left her son $25). Our tooth fairy left $5. It was obviously a good amount, because as soon as he woke up he ran out with his $5 and insisted we call Matt and let him know.

Oh, part of these pictures are from my iPhone and part of them are from Mrs. Diane's camera. That means that I (I mean Matt when I say "I" and my friend Rosemary) have figured out how to get my pictures from my phone onto the computer for me to upload.

A Few Pics

I love this picture! Cal dressed himself. I LOVE the visor and the flip-flops.

We went to the park to feed ducks on Sunday. The weather was perfect.
This is what Brady thinks about having his picture taken.

They love the weather!

Not really a good picture, but everyone always talks about his eye-lashes.

You can see them pretty good in this picture.

***************************************************************

This is in Atlanta at my mom's. My sister and niece Kendall were in town. Mom took them on a "hike".

You can barely see Cal, but he is in the leaves. This is all he has talked about for weeks.

We don't have any leaves here, but he knows it is fall and he should be playing in leaves.

Again, not really wanting his picture taken.

I told Kendall and Brady to hug. Brady said "no"! Kendall was going to make him hug her.

Cal, Brady and Kendall

Cal was so excited about the leaves that he was willing to rake his own leaves to jump into.

Halloween Fun

We had so much fun with Halloween this year. We had several occasions to dress-up this year. The pictures start with Halloween then the others are the 2 other times we were able to dress-up. Brady was certain that he was going to be Batman this year, which was totally predictable because on any given day he with tell you "I BATMAN"! The Thursday before Halloween Cal had on a Knight's helmet and Brady wanted one, the only other helmet we had was a football helmet, which lead into the whole football player outfit, which he wore for the rest of the day. Cal on the other hand loves costumes and takes picking one out very serious. We went to Party City and he first looked at the Star Wars costumes, but when he asked Matt and I what his "accessory" aka "new weapon" would be, I said " you already have a light saber at home." That was the end of the Star Wars idea. He then asked for the Wolverine costume, again asking what accessory could he get, my answer, "his hands are his accessory". Again, a return for the poor Party City guy. The next pick is an Ice Wolf Ninja, when the guy brings it out he tells Cal they have the Ice Wolf Staff (which also turns into 2 ice swords)..... SOLD!!!!!! Now let me explain that for the 2 other events we went to he refused to wear this year's costume because it was a secret until Halloween, so he wore 2 costumes from last year that were too small. Then we get to Halloween night and he wants nothing to do with the mask or staff/sword that he was so worried about in the first place. We had a wonderful time joining some friends for trick or treating.

This is Brady on Sunday getting a closer look at his candy.
