Let's Go Fly a Kite

March is the perfect month for flying kites. I promised the kids that after they went to the dentist, we'd go buy kites. However, Alex fell asleep on the way home (maybe he was tired from PUKING at the dentist, that's an whole other story...), so we stopped and bought kites after school today.

Katie's kite was only $3 and Alex's was a whopping $7 because it's a "deluxe" kite. Guess which one was easier to get up in the air? That's right, the $3 kite rocks! Enjoy the pictures.

Another one bites the dust!

Katie lost another tooth tonight. This time it's on the bottom. She's got one loose one left. All this tooth losing is making me feel like she is growing up too fast!

She's also finally feeling more comfortable reading and is reading a book to me each night. I'm so happy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Missing

Katie lost another tooth. This time it's a top one. The tooth fairy left her $3 in exchange for her tooth. It true Katie fashion, she immediately gave Alex one of her dollars. He's got to be the luckiest little brother in the world, because his big sister is extremely generous. It's really hard to get a good smile when you're trying to capture the missing tooth spot in a photo.
