Battle of the bordem......

As summer vacation is slowly coming to an end I am slowly running out of energy!  I wanted to enjoy every day with Hannah before she starts school.  I had a list of things to do before Aug 27th and most of my activities are crossed off!  It's going to be weird not to have Hannah home with me, but I can't wait for school to start, lol!  Driving all over creation to explore new things is great, but man am I tired after doing that for 3 months!!  Endless trips to the pool will not be missed (by me) because Lulu has absolutely no fear of the water.  It's such a relief that I no longer have to worry about Hannah's safety because she is such a great swimmer because ALL of my attention is on Lulu.  She is such a dare devil that pool days stress me out, but at the end of the day the girls had fun and they are exhausted.



During Hannah's summer fun, she lost her first tooth!  Since June she would wake up every day pointing to a different tooth that was "loose".  Then later that afternoon she would say it's not loose anymore because it's taking a break.  A week before we drove to Louisiana to visit my sister in law her tooth was actually loose.  In a about six days it popped out and the tooth fairy found her in Shreveport, LA!  Since then, there is not a day that goes by with out telling strangers about her missing tooth.  Our mail lady knows, cable guy, my doctor, random people who are shopping at the grocery or department store....EVERYONE is informed by Hannah about her missing tooth. 

On another note, we are eating farm fresh eggs!!!  Ms. Brown, our original chicken who has witnessed 3 deaths among her chick-a-dees is laying eggs!!!  It is so great to see the girl's reaction every time they find an egg!  Sunflower who is only 1 month younger than Ms. Brown is not that far behind from laying eggs too.  My mom bought four more chicks back in June after two of our precious chicks (Angel & Tia Claudia) died from a brutal attack from starving hawks.  The guys did some improvements in the chicken coup to insure a safe habitat for the new chicks and our original two.  Hannah in no time came up with the names for the new four- Frannie, Francis, Tia Claudia #2, & Cindy.  These chicks are very different- they have puffy cheeks like chipmunks!
