What a Weekend!

It started with a great St. Patricks Day. We did a treasure hunt that I got off Pinterest here. And they got a couple little presents and treats. The rest of the day the kids had a blast with cousins. Saturday night at 8 our power turned off for 12 hours, it's the longest I've gone without. Oh I hope we can get more prepared, gives me a huge respect for the pioneers!
Sunday last night Thomas and I were playing connect 4 and I could see that he had 2 adult teeth growing in behind his two bottom teeth. It was a huge surprise, I was thinking we'd maybe start noticing this in a year, not preschool. He did get his first 2 teeth when he was 2 months old, so I shouldn't be surprised the adult teeth would come in early as well. When I felt the baby teeth one of them was so loose. So with the bribe of a cookie, he let us pull it. He was thrilled and laughing and wanted to tell his cousins, grandparents, and teacher as soon as possible. The tooth fairy gave him $1, which is more than the $.25 I grew up with...inflation I suppose?? He was pretty ecstatic waking up and finding it under his pillow, cute guy.It makes me sad, kids start looking awkward to me when they're big teeth start growing in all strange haha. He seems so old to me now. I really hope that he has good teeth like every parent. He still looks cute to me, so hopefully it stays that way :-) The new ones seem to be growing behind the baby teeth, is that normal? And to not leave out Grace, here's a couple of pictures of her. She is pretty comical these days. She is always shaking her hips at us with her hands on her waist. Ever since she got a pillow pet for Christmas it has become part of the family. We introduce it at family night, she prays for it, and it even gets a turn when we're playing board games. She loves making forts for her. I've been having a hard time keeping her awake some days from her naps. It's crazy because when Thomas was 2 he really started fighting the naps and she took them so easily until she was 3 and still would, but whenever I give her a nap she stays up until 10:30. But if I leave her alone for very long and don't hear her, she's usually passed out somewhere so I need to figure out what to do there. If I wake her up an hour into her a nap, she is SO GRUMPY until bed. Anyways, just another difference between her and Thomas I suppose. Thanks for the compliments on my ginormous stomach. Less than 2 weeks and it's growing strong. Dr.'s appt. tomorrow, so here's hoping something will happen soon, but not until after the premier of the Hunger Games movie this week right!?!?!
