Well, Ev lost her other front tooth - the look suits her! Makes that megawatt smile seem even bigger (LOL). The tooth fairy is on the ball -- Ev's teeth are earning neat little stacks of quarters.
We orchestrated self-portrait family photos for this year's Christmas card -- a bit of a circus, since I had the brilliant idea to bring the dogs (that was a no go - they ran around, exalting their freedom, pooping everywhere, and completely disrupting the photo set up with obstinance (I'm certain they knew to sit and look at the camera, but they simply refused). I also ran back and forth between the fence (our prop) and the tripod, racing the self-timer and trying not to trip over dogs. After I threw a temper tantrum (got it out of my system), we settled into the silliness of it and ended up with some super fun pics. Evelyn was full of great pose ideas, while Emerson preferred the Spiderman look. Gotta love the mountains in the background (Pen Park is a popular photo spot).
As Head of School for A Day, one of Evelyn's schoolmates hosted a Color Run - Ev had an epic time -- and made the newsletter! Such a cool school.
One of my favorite things is Kissy Day. Emerson has adopted the notion of Kissy Day and uses it to reward (or punish!) me. I think it started when I attacked him with kisses one day, and he said "No kisses!" and I asked, "Isn't it kissy day?" And from then on, he would be in charge of when it was Kissy Day (or not). He will look at me with a sly smile when he's feeling generous and say, "It's Kissy Day!" and I am permitted to attack him with kisses. It's awesome. He is the most super yummy little boy ever created.
