note to the tooth fairy

"dear tooth fairy. i don't know where my tooth is. please leave me money. charlie. "

we looked for a day for his tooth. we think isaiah beat it out of him! he was studding his lego "map" (the collage of lego city of items he longs for!) & last i saw, isaiah was whapping it over charlie's face. i came back to the computer. z came crying in. then i hear charlie whimpering, suddenly he shows up asking if it "is bleeding from here?"....he was very upset. but he swears he didn't swallow it. but we can't find it anywhere!

Z says'..."okay, i'm done!"....

i can't tell you how wonderful this trip was. & i can't believe i don't (haven't ) made it a priority in the past three years. it has been four years since we've been. i am aiming for an annual trip. maybe three weeks a year? four? have to work out the kinks with brian. but with my current career. i think it may be doable. just a matter of missing a month of income. (not really a great idea.) but it is so, SO therapeutic to spend time with these people i love. & i really want to provide the boys with the opportunity to have a few of the amazing childhood memories on Laddieland, & with the family...oh..i just love & miss you all.. :)

so, this trampoline apparently spent a year in the box. then they set it up, & within a week, the storms got it!!!  we had to jimmy it together! okay for the kiddos, but i wouldn't suggest the adults play on it! 

my favorite songbird! (next to the whiporwhil)
