Catching Up

What a busy week! Full of fun and lots of activities for all. Bennett had his first oral report this week, a presentation on Australia. He has been working SO hard, definitely not the procrastinator that his parents are. He even brought Vegimite for his class to try. Word to the wise, it looks like chocolate but tastes like something you scraped off your shoe.
Kendall lost her first tooth today! It has been wiggly for months and all of her classmates have already lost teeth. She decided to pull it herself - such a brave girl! Very un-Kendall like, but I think she wanted to be in control of her own pain. She is very excited to have her first visit from the tooth fairy tonight - as long as the tooth fairy isn't too tired to remember. Maybe I should write her a note....
KJ also got to go to the American Girl Doll Store in Los Angeles for her best friend's birthday. I think they should rename it the Heaven-on-earth-for-little-girls-and-mommies-store. It is incredible! And incredibly expensive! The marketing group for American Girl must be made up of mommies because somehow in the midst of a down economy with only 3 stores nationwide and outrageously overpriced items people like me manage to save my pennies to buy my daughter something there. Geniuses I tell you, and if I could buy stock in their company I would!
Last but not least we went to Chuck E Cheese today. Normally I avoid that place with a ten foot pole because the thought of all the germies there gives me the creeps, but we lathered up in antibacterial lotion and went for it to treat the kids. The best part of the day was when Camden accidentally referred to it as "Chuck E Jesus". I could not stop laughing!
Hope you all had a great Valentine's, Chinese New Year, and President's Day!
