Another lost tooth... or teeth?

Morgan had been working on a loose tooth for a few days. She went to school and it was really bothering her. I saw her at lunch when I went to volunteer at school and she told me she had pulled it out! Later that night while she was eating Wheat Thins, she screamed that something hurt, then her mouth was bleeding. We didn't think much of it until a little later when she kept saying her mouth felt funny. We looked in her mouth and noticed there were 2 teeth missing now! She must have swallowed the second one! She requested that the Tooth Fairy bring her something other than money this time. She was so nice about it, too! :)

New 'do

Milo was getting a little scruffy, so we made a trip to the groomer. He came back with a lot less hair!

Invention Convention

The girls were learning about different inventors at school. They each got assigned one to research and give a speech about. They had to build a replica of the invention. Avery got assigned Garrett Morgan, the inventor of the 3 position stop light. Morgan got assigned John Logie Baird, the inventor of the television.

Here are pictures from their school speeches. They made "costumes" to wear - ha!

Saturday

Avery sold Girl Scout cookies with her friend Bianca on Saturday morning. It was really chilly and not too many people were out, but they still sold over 100 boxes in two hours.

Then we went to Downer's Delight for lunch.

Lunch selfie!

President's Day

We had today off of work and school and luckily it was really nice outside!

Avery had an orthodontist appointment in the morning. Next time they will talk about removing the braces! She can't wait! She already has a list of the first things she wants to eat when she gets them off! Ha!

We spent some time outdoors and even got the bikes down from storage!

Funtopia

We checked out a place in Naperville that we hadn't been to before called Funtopia. It was a rock-climbing / obstacle course / ropes course type place for kids. I can't believe we haven't been here before! The girls loved it and were so exhausted by the time we left. Each kid gets a harness, then you walk around to the different walls, hook in and climb.  Each wall has a yellow triangle at the bottom with the latching system. The girls got really good at latching and unlatching themselves at the walls.

It's exhausting! :)

The ropes course was above us. Morgan asked us later what would happen if she fell. We said the rope she was attached to would stop her from falling. She said "well, you didn't tell me THAT!" Um, whoops! She probably walked through the whole thing completely freaking out!

I couldn't believe Avery did it. She's pretty scared of heights.

Climbing the buildings like Spiderman!

 Here's a bunch of videos we took:

Just a dog chillaxin' in a snow storm... he whined to be outside a million times!
