Toothless!

Hannah lost her other front upper tooth yesterday. She saved the other so that the Tooth Fairy could give her big money for the pair. She's kinda cute with no teeth in front, eh?

Soccer!

I was able to finally attend one of Hannah's soccer games, and it was fun! They play 3 on 3 with many substitutions, and sometimes the boundaries are whistled, other times not. no goalie, so many goals were scored, even Hannah got one! (a nod to Drew, who scored 13 once) In other news, the night before, Hannah's tooth came out...so now she's got a hole in her head, but it's just gonna get bigger...the other front is about to drop! she'll be eating mashed potatoes through a straw soon! hee hee hee!

You Want Me To Do WHAT?!

Returning from it's long lost prison after causing multiple teens to hurl, You Want Me To Do What?! has been revived at Fish Co! It's a contest to see who can eat/do something that's disgusting...call it Fear Factor or whatever, we did it before that. This week was 8th grade girl vs. 8th grade boy, and it was chugging a mysterious blue hawaiin drink laced with prunes. Wisely, we had laid down a tarp, and both contestants had garbage bags on. Note; dinner had been less than 30 minutes before. So they got it on, encouraged by the MC, Charlie the Blue, and the Blues Brothers (it was Back To School Blues Night). About 1/2 way through came the first dry heaves...but they continues, 80 screaming fans urging on their favorite. Finally, Maddie spit out some of the blue liquid, quickly followed by Charlie, but in their zest to win, they both continued. Charlie was ahead, but suddenly, green beans in blue punch came flying out of his mouth, followed shortly by Maddie spewing blue liquid like a fountain...Charlie was out of it, but Maddie Continued, and won a surprise victory for the girls. The staff is thinking about having a towel to throw in next time...or at least to clean up the mess.

Death Of A Camera

So Wednesday night at Fish Co, the camera, after being used to take headshots of youth for a directory, was set on the pool table...whereupon someone knocked it off and it died. Before I could grieve, surprise set it, as this camera has been dropped down stairs, kicked, and fallen underfoot several times. I guess 3 feet+poolball+hard tile floor=breakage. sad. no more pics for a while, unless we try with cellcamera's...but they pixelize badly. More soon.

First Grade

Today was Hannah's first day of First Grade; her first full day school! Surprisingly, she had to be pried out of bed this morning, but once up, she was quite excited. Diane and I walked her to the bus, the rushed ahead to be at Lake Grove Elementary before she got there. We got to walk her to her class and meet her teacher, Miss Sohlheim. She's growing way too fast! When Diane asked for a kiss, Hannah responded, "Stop! No!" and held up her hand. Luckily, we're bigger than her, so she got kissed anyway. Michaela slept in. Being a Senior, she doesn't start until tomorrow.
