Tooth Fairy is Busy at Our House!


What an exciting past week we have had!  Gwyn had a pretty loose tooth, and I got to do the honors of yanking it out!  She was pretty excited, and the tooth fairy didn't disappoint.  Brian and Jason took Jacob and Gwyn to the Dynamo game, where they had a great time!


Some little 3rd grade girls have been hitting our house pretty regularly lately...unfortunately it rained in the morning before we could clean up!

Yes, we have one of these stickers on our team for Annie's PreK soccer team, the DASH!
Dance party gone wrong...Jacob bumped Annie and she fell into the coffee table while Brian and I were at Back to School night at RCE.  Poor girl was with a babysitter and couldn't get ahold of us, so I took her to urgent care that night, to my dentists house the next morning since her office was closed (she lives down the street from us and is the BEST dentist ever!), then a trip to the oral surgeon to have Annie's two front teeth removed, one was broken in half below the gum and the other was damaged enough it would have turned grey until she lost it, so she'll be my little toothless girl until she's probably 7 or 8!
She did look pretty tough!
Sweet girl:
As she was getting a little loopy!
The after picture, she's so stinking cute with those missing teeth.  Tooth fairy paid $10/tooth, Jacob could not believe it, he was so jealous.  Gwyn said, "I feel like a pre-Ker because I've only lost one tooth."  Poor Gwyn, one upped by her sister in the same week as she's lost her first tooth!
A little later, totally passed out!
Back in action the following day, it is amazing how fast the mouth heals itself:
Annie sat out the cheerleading camp, but Gwyn and her sweet friend Avery were super excited to go to the camp put on by the high school cheerleaders:

Sporting the orange, we bleed orange for both RCE and OSU!
A few pics of work from Annie's class (or Ginna, ha!) from back to school night:
LOVE her drawings:


Jacob wrote this about himself, followed by a note to us:

Sweet Gwyn's writing is so precious!



I LOVE the fact that she thinks she is a "specialist" on cats, such a 1st grade girl thing, ha!
Gwyn helped Brian change the battery on my car, reminds me of me helping my dad when I was little:
This was probably the last picture I had of her with her teeth:
A few videos from the week:
This was pre-surgery, she was a little goofy already (without any meds):

If you haven't watched the Father/Daughter youtube video of Shake it Off, you should.  My girls wanted to dance to it as well:





I'm warning you, be prepared for the longest, most annoying song ever:

Getting Into Our New Groove


 We are getting into the groove with the new school year and starting Fall activities.  Annie is doing a ballet/tap combo class and soccer.  Super cute little girl who looks the part, but doesn't quite deliver...she likes he water breaks.  Such a fun group of girls!
 Gwyn is doing a jazz/hip-hop class, soccer and Girl Scouts.  Such a fun little group of girls, Gwyn absolutely LOVED it!
Here are videos from their dance classes:





 Here's Annie little dance posse...tiny dancers:)
 My sweet little soccer girl:
 Jacob is doing basketball on Monday nights and a little Fall baseball league, getting some kid pitch experience before the Spring craziness begins.  He had a little project to decorate his writing workbook, he was pretty proud!

 Gwyn's first braid,  I was her guinea pig:

 My three little homies:
 Annie has a preK teacher who went to Baylor, so this is what she's learning:
Love Annie's drawings, or I should say Ginna:)
A video of one of the many little books that Annie has filled...pages and pages...this one from Nana and Papa:


Things said by the kids this week:
Gwyn to Jacob:  You got served.
Annie to the Rushings when played a family kickball game:  You're going down to the ground, sweep you off the floor, throw you in a trash can.
