This isn't even close to all of them...maybe half. These are the ones that they play with the most often. I think they told me that they were sitting in the middle of a wrestling ring (I don't know where they have seen one of those before.) and all the animals are the spectators. It looks like right now they are either cheering on a skunk or scorpion. A few days later they had a good part of the animals in the front room and they were playing church. The bishop was a shark and the primary president was the scorpion. They said the nursery was getting a little rowdy, but it looked like the scorpion was going to be able to keep it under control.
Grandma and Grandpa reminded us of the fun tradition of sleeping in the living room with the tree. Our tree is still up (but hopefully coming down this week), so on Thursday night Jared, Lauren, and Brad slept in our front room with the tree lights on. I have a hard time sleeping comfortably even on my bed right now and I think Alan just wanted to keep me company. They looked like they were having a fun little slumber party.
Friday morning we called the dentist to make an appointment for Jared. His other front tooth had an abcess at the top of it...a result of chipping it when he was 20 months old and then smashing it hard again when he was almost 4. I'm not sure how long it had been there. I noticed it the week before Christmas (I don't look that close in his mouth very often) and it wasn't bothering Jared so he didn't complain about. It needed to come out. We tried wiggling it out for about a week, but it wasn't ready. (It still had a really long root attached.) When we called for the appointment to have it removed they said how soon can you get here. So Friday Jared got his other front tooth out. He is pretty cute with his double gap now. The x-rays they took showed his teeth are still coming in straight, but they are still pretty far up, so he may have his gap for awhile. At least now he is at the age where losing teeth is normal...unlike when he got his other one pulled 2 years ago...it was January 2 years ago...crazy! We haven't taken a picture of him and his gap yet (where you can really see it) but here are a couple of him on the way out the door to have it removed.
Saturday morning we finally woke up to snow. We've had a couple of light dustings, but nothing that really stuck or amounted to anything. We maybe got an inch of snow, but it was good for snowmen and snowballs. We even tried to toboggan a little.
Jared made the snowman all by himself. Yesterday we also went to the builder workshop at Home Depot, I went to a baby shower, we all went down to the church while I practiced organ (they played basketball in the gym), Alan went to Winco, and I did a little sewing.
A couple of other things that happened this week...I went to the doctor (I go weekly now), Lauren Brad and I took Jared's violin to his class on Thursday for show and tell (it was supposed to be a Christmas surprise that they took). He told them lots of good things about it. Mrs Porter (his teacher) has children who play the violin and cello. She helped him and they probably spent 5-10 min talking about the violin with his class. Monday night for Family Home Evening we ran out of time for a game, so we made plenty of time for it on Tuesday. Alan, Jared, and I played ticket to ride and Alan, Lauren, Brad, and I played candyland....at the same time...chutes and ladders was also played sometime during the week...maybe that night too.
