DOH!!

So, as a parent, I consider myself decent. Not all encompassing brilliant, but decent. Except when it comes to being the tooth fairy. I completely suck as the tooth fairy. Sawyer lost a tooth yesterday, was so excited singing the "I am going to get a dollar song" put his tooth under his pillow and went to sleep in Tanner's room. I was just so happy that the boys were asleep last night, that I totally spaced him losing a tooth. So this morning, he gets up and says, the tooth fairy didn't come. Holy crap, mental head slap, I forgot!! So Chad tells me to look around with Sawyer as he does damage control. He slips a dollar under his pillow upstairs and tells Sawyer to go look in his room because he thinks the tooth fairy might have been confused because he did not sleep in his bed last night. So, Sawyer goes upstairs and checks. The happy dollar song follows and all is right with the world. The last time Tanner lost a tooth, I just handed him a dollar & he just laughed because he knew I would forget to put it under his pillow.

Bios on the Hill

I was lucky to be able to go with Sawyer last week on his field trip to Bios on the Hill. It was so much fun. I can't wait to go back with Chad & Tanner. The kids had a blast and we got to hike all over the park, go on a boat ride, see water buffalo (!!) and have a picnic lunch.

This is the boat we rode on. I felt like I was on the Jungle Ride at Disneyland. I kept waiting for the fake parana & hippos to pop out at any second. No such luck. We did get to see the big behind of a water buffalo who left quite a BIG surprise on the ground behind her!! Not awesome.

They had about 4 of these huge swings. So much fun.

One of the awesome log forts. The kids had a blast playing here.

Sawyer & his teacher Mrs. Adams on the boat ride.

Sawyer squirting water out of the wooden syringe thingy. You could also pump water through the pump. So cool.

This is a water buffalo. I kept singing the water buffalo song from Silly Songs with Larry after I saw this. Poor thing has a rope between his nostrils. Later on in the day it had a pretty purple flower in it's horn.

Another awesome log fort. I want to build one for myself!!

Sawyer & his friends standing on the huge dragon made of earth, grass & rocks. It was amazing!

Duno what these creepy things are, just wanted to share the picture of them. Raarrrr.
