Harry McNary....

We've been reading a lot of Tooth Fairy books at our house lately. Why you ask? Because we have been expecting this to happen...

Today was our lucky day, and we have already been visited by our local Tooth Fairy (Harry McNary), who was very prepared since Buddy and his tooth will be spending the night at his aunt Donna's house. So what do you do to celebrate such an occasion?
First you have a fantastic meal of caviar, because your royal senses can handle nothing else...

Then you hang out with some local celebrities, cause your cool that way...

Then you hang with some ghosts...


(Even if you are slightly afraid of them). Then you end your special day by trying to see how much straw you can possibly get on you. I think we can do way better next time...

All in all, a super fantastic, how many crazy faces can we make in one day, day!


Better yet, how many others can you talk into joining you?

Creativity....

Last year, Buddy's teachers frequently commented ,more or less told on Buddy, for never wanting to join the class at coloring time. Of course it's a Montessori school so since he didn't want to do it, he didn't have to. The mother in me fretted about him not being like the others, maybe he wasn't creative, maybe he would never use his hand for anything more than assisting him with making funny faces. A year later, I just believe that maybe he wasn't provided the right canvas. My boy is quite creative, he's just into mobile art (I'm sure a gallery will be contacting us soon for a showing)...




All in all a super fantastic, I think I found a new manicurist, day!

Coming clean...

Buddy has been preparing me tonight for my first ever parent-teacher conference tomorrow. When I say preparing, I really mean he's correcting the little fibs he's told about why his art teacher is mean, why he has to go hang out with the babies at the end of school, and most importantly why he doesn't really need to sing in music and movement class. My boy, makes me proud of his creative thinking!
All in all a super fantastic, school is cool, day!

Motley Crue and the Buddy(ing) artist...

Today we ran into a bunch of hooligans, I believe they were conspiring against us...

I'm not sure I've ever seen such shady characters...

Or not seen such a large booger that was still present several hours after this picture was taken, only noticing it after it was pointed out by another mother (thank goodness my non-judgemental sister)...

It's like they were everywhere, and they were chasing us...



Seriously, whose bright idea was it to dress young children up like zombies and have them chase the living around? Oh yeah, it was mine, and it was fantastic....

See, Buddy thought it was fun!!! So what do you do after you've turned everyone into a zombie, well you have a zombie bath with as many cousins as possible (swimsuits of course, because otherwise that might be weird)...

Then you host a family dinner party and see who will fall victim next. Usually grandma's are good for volunteering to be your next prey...


After one cracks, the rest fall like dominoes...

How clever of us to use family members for our art project, inviting them under the ruse of a get together huh? At least lovin's were exchanged for the use of the human canvas...

All in all a super fantastic, artist in the making, day!

One of these things is not like the other....

All in all a super fantastic, effectively squeezing Hyrum out of all photo ops, day!

Shiver me timbers...

It's official, I have given birth to a pirate!

Just be ready to walk the planks, ARRRGGHH!
All in all a super fantastic, thanks Mythbusters for curing my boy of being afraid of the dark and then turning him into a pirate, day!

The I's have it (or was it eyes?)...

All in all a super fantastic, sleeping with our eye patch on in case we get invaded by some scurvy pirates later, day!
