Jack-o-lantern smile and our little sprouts

Last week Coryn lost two bottom teeth. She refuses to let anyone pull out her wiggly teeth and insists on waiting until they fall out on their own. Both teeth fell out while she was brushing her teeth. Which means she had a prime view of her new smile in the bathroom mirror. She declared: I have a jack-o-lantern smile! Two years later, and we're still waiting on her top front tooth to come in.

Last weekend Coryn was treated to a special overnight at Little Gram and Pop Pop TG's house. It just happened to be the 6 week anniversary of having her ears pierced. So Little Gram took Cokes shopping for new earrings. It was a tough decision but she settled on a pair of cross earrings to wear. 

Mallory is my best helper. This morning she moved a stool so she could be right by my side cracking eggs and mixing up ricotta cheese with oregano for lasagna. And after her nap today she ran right to the pot of herbs Grammy gave us to check on our little sprouts. 

Earlier this week when I was switching laundry loads and my back was turned for a moment Mallory dug out a pair of hockey skates and put them on. She "skated" around the basement. She keeps asking me to braid her LONG hair like Elsa. 

Josephine has her own email account from school. When she is home Jo checks her email hourly on her ipod. Its been fun sending her little messages during the school day. Especially when its a Monday and I get messages like this from her: 

I wish I could be with you,dad,Mallory, Gloria and Coryn every day!!!

Or like this one that she wrote in Japanese:

Katanakamuniri weave Once shelf a tiger flag Once the Sada Haneda Yata Ya is Hey Come on I wish was a shelf that such and met Kasakahina Sanate red Ayana Ya it made such licking Yara 1284Tasu: 63 Yubinbango7.
