A Shout Out to Goomba

I love my mom. : ) She's truly awesome. : ) She's known as Goomba around these here parts. : ) How she came about it is another story. : )

So, the other day the kids and I were driving into town and James and I were discussing periscopes and telescopes. I don't think Ashley was tuning in. James learned that Goomba has a telescope and anounced with all the yearning of a tiny soul,

"I want to go to Grandma's and look into space!!"

That got Ashley's attention and with amazement and surprise she almost yelled back,

"Grandma has a ROCKET??!!!"

Needless to say, I don't think Grandma has a rocket, but we love her to the moon and back!!

Looth Tooth

The other day James reported that he had a looth tooth. : ) He had chomped into his favorite staple of life (an apple) and discovered the much anticpated loose tooth!! He was all excited and a little hesitant about having a loose tooth. (This is his first one!) But we found him a tiny box to put his tooth in when it does fall out and the more he wiggled it the more excited he got! : ) He insisted on calling up his grandmas to relay the good news. : )




-----On Sunday, James' tooth popped out!! : ) He was so thrilled!! Ashley wanted to know (for future reference) if it hurt. "Nope!" he said! He was so stoked about it!! And he was delighted when the Tooth Fairy exchanged his prize tooth for a crispy $1. : ) He's been folding, refolding, and toting his dollar around all afternoon. : )
