All I Want For Christmas is My 2 Front Teeth!

Guess never too early to bring on Christmas by looks of stores week before Halloween & now per Cole: He pulled 'em out all by himself with latest couple on past 2 Sun. respectively...guess he reverted back to nearest holiday by the blood that accompanied the act?! Kinda funny that it was only a week after we had his 7 y.o. pics taken too! Earned $2 from tooth fairy + $1 from change given @ Husky Stadium concession stand courtesy of Dad + $2 from Aunt Brooke (betcha she didn't even realize her generosity, so thanks! he found on her bed @ home never mind that she's @ BYU:), So showed off his new smile even more when it totaled enough to buy a Bakugan!

Tonight he decided Dad could best help him to make a lookalike:To rewind a bit, mom got stuck with dirty work again somehow?! Kinda like Christmas tree lighting to compare the holidays once more:) Even after a couple weeks of pumpkins hanging out on the porch, still had to deliberate on the design for a while...Opted for silly faces vs scary this year & decided to add a little pizazz with glitter for eyes, teeth & tongue that will prob never dry-ugh!
Also tried scented votives to set them aglow; we'll see if trick-or-treaters enjoy waft of black licorice & candy corn before they're disappointed that we aren't offering any actual candy since we're gonna be out & about ourselves:) Boys couldn't wait for a preview, so we took advantage of photo op...Huey had to be entertained alongside the carvers, but tried to get in on the action toward the end:


















As usual, all Parker boys still had energy for a round o' wrestling afterward...=perfect conclusion to long-awaited FHE...you see, I had to keep reminding them that we have to wait to carve until week o' Halloween here in WA if we want to avoid moldy Jack-o-Lanterns- ugh!
