Labor Day started off with a bang for us!! On Friday before our long anticipated Labor Day weekend, I went in for my daily Kindergarten lunch visit (my conference period happens to fall in their lunch time :)), and my Emmy was missing a tooth!! I could see her gums were a little bloody, so I asked her if Mrs.
Binford had pulled it before they came to the cafeteria. She told me that it had just happened. I asked her where the tooth was, and she gave me a little smile and shrugged her shoulders, so I began my search! I first looked on her tray with no luck, and then I went to the floor! Under the table was a little ball of chewed up pizza! I picked it up, and hidden inside was a perfect pointy tooth!! I guess she was chewing and felt something hard and just decided to spit that bite out!!
Niiiicccceeee, not a manner I taught her!! Anyhow, I was so glad that I found it! By this point there was a little bit of a scene at Mrs.
Binford's cafeteria table! The lunch monitor took Emmy aside and gave her a special pink treasure box to keep her tooth in! She was on cloud 9 and glowing with pride!! I couldn't have been more thankful to be a part of that moment!!
Showing off after we came home from school!!
The tooth fairy brought her $5 and a note with her name in
glittler! She was so excited!
We did a little impromptu session in the girls room that is in bad need of a
decluttering!!
Here are Car and Emmy (J.B. necklace and all) Sweet Car was so happy for his sissy and her 1st tooth loss!! :):)

We enjoyed the rest of Labor Day. Sam took everyone to see The Smurfs while I had a hair appointment Saturday, and the kids spent the night with
Grancie on Sunday. They got to go see Spy Kids 3, eat at
McDonalds twice, and get toys from
WalMart, while Sam and I ate dinner, shopped, and saw a movie!!!
Sooooo nice!!
On Monday I met up with everyone at
Rosemeade Pool for the last swimming day of the season! The kids didn't seem to mind swimming in freezing water when it was in the mid 70s outside, but no adult touched the water! :) I won't complain though after all of the unbearable temps we've had this summer!! It felt amazing!! Now if we only had one more day off work and school!
Ending with a few random pics that someone other than me took on my camera!! I love seeing what my kids choose to shoot pics of!! Their favorite subject has to be their Sophie-girl!!
Ella
Emmy took these of Ella Cate and Sophie!
I haven't downloaded the pics off my phone for quite awhile!! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw some of these! Many of them have been posted on Facebook, but I like to put them on the blog so that hopefully someday I can publish them in a blog book! They make me smile!! What I would give to recreate the picture above this very moment!! I was laying on the beach BY MYSELF!!!!! It was wonderful!!
The kids at a really fun restaurant called Fudpuckers in Destin!
We were all ready for pictures on the beach, and it started storming!!! I was frantic! Chels knew just what I needed to calm down! :)
Our last night in Destin! Emma and Mommy
Our view during our last beach dinner
On our way home from Florida we made one last stop at a Cracker Barrel right outside of Canton. At this point we were soooo ready to get home, but at the moment I'd take that drive in a second to be back at the beach!!
This shows how much the girls love Sophie!! No one touches their Raffis!!
Sophie sleeping with her art!! Both puppy pics were a surprise when I downloaded pics! The girls took them, and I'm so glad they did!!
Emmy took a pic of her back to school letter from Mrs. Binford! :)
First day of school fun!

And ending with a nasty battle wound! When I got a pedicure last Saturday and the polish came off, I finally saw the damage that a desk caused to my toe on my first day back during teacher in service week. That day sucked!! I'm hoping that it doesn't fall off! I chose a really dark color to keep the bruise hidden!! I think this might have been the introduction to the theme of my year this school year! I have no more visible wounds, but it's been a wild ride this past 5 weeks, to say the least! Hoping we got all the kinks out this first 6 weeks!! ;)
