My Sweet Little Elves

Bowen

Bowen has been super naughty lately and I can only hope that the NICE little boy is around the corner...

He seems to be into investigating. The other morning I found this disaster...he took mommy's Special K Red Berries and spilled it all over the table and floor and ate all the strawberries...all he had to say was GRIN from ear to ear! Super cute and Super mischievous!

Hope can you be mad at this face...

In our Primary all the kids got mission calls. MaKynzee told me all week that she was going on a mission and needed to pack. I told her it was a pretend mission and she said "No Mom, I am leaving for REAL." So she packed all her dresses, tights and shoes. Then she told me she should probably take her jewelry 'cause missionaries are pretty! Anyway it was super cute! All week she did things all by herself saying, "I'm going on my mission and need to do this all by myself." It was stuff like...washing her hair, pouring her drinks, making her own breakfast, etc. I was really quite impressed and when Sunday rolled around she woke up early and packed her bags and headed out for her mission...

Sister MaKynzee Ann Bagshaw and Hippo ofcourse! Yes Hippo gets to go!

All her bags are packed and she's ready to go...

I don't know how disappointed she was when her Primary teacher didn't take her to the air port but she was OK by the time we got home and said, "Mom, I get to go when I grow an inch or two!" It was really cool experience for her and she can't wait to "grow."

Lukas became our little toothless man. 

First he had this annoying tooth that started to turn color, get longer and slightly turn. i told him I wanted to pull it out. He refused, after a few days it started to bleed too. I told him to let me pull it, again he refused. I once tried to tackle him and pull it before he figured what I was doing but NOPE that didn't work I just got bit! Here is a picture after about a week!

Then one night about another week later the tooth finally did a 180! I told Lukas I didn't care it was coming out at which point he let me get it out, there was no pulling involved...

Then he asked, "Mom do you think that counts as "falling out""

Mom, "Yes, why?"

Lukas, "A boy at school said that if you just let your tooth fall out that the tooth fairy will give you $60!"

Mom, "WHAT?"

Lukas, "Do you think I will?"

Mom, "That kid must have lied! You probably (/WILL) NOT get $60!"

Lukas, "Oh"

It was sad to see him so dejected but he put me through torture watching that dead tooth fall out for 2 weeks and then he really thought he would get that much PUUUUUULEASE!!

Three days later he lost his other front tooth and has been singing at the top of his lungs "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

Our kids are such a joy to watch grown and learn, they are our best blessing! We love you three!!!
