Funnily enough, we were planning on going to the Gilbert Halloween Carnival but decided the kids got their fill at the FREE day time Carnival instead....plus the kids were tired and messy so we brought them home and bathed them. We had fun just hanging out at home and eating goodies (we've somehow collected them being the week of Halloween). I have not been able to watch College Football like I want to lately so it was good to catch a bit of some games.
Later that night Marce was racing across the floor with his favorite toy, a truck called "Snakebite". We didn't really see it perfectly but he somehow tripped up and hit his face on our rocking chair. He was in some pain and quickly told us it was his teeth. He was bleeding so we took him into the bathroom to see the problem. Marce's front tooth was knocked out and hanging on attached still at the back side of the gum. The small tooth next to it was loose but not enough to pull out. I'm hoping it takes strength and stays in but I don't know if teeth do that or once it's loose - it's loose? (Camie????) If it's not going to strengthen up then it's not going to last much longer and will come out sooner than later...
Marce got to pick a treasure for being SO good while I wiggled his tooth out. There was pain, blood, and Baby Orajel involved so he did a great job of cooperating. I am sad that Marce is only 3 and a half and will look like this for a couple years before he starts losing his teeth due to natural causes...He's still cute but I'm sad about it a little. I guess it's just part of childhood...and boyhood! Marcelus picked out a Thomas card game for his treasure and it's actually fun...even for adults. He wasn't sure how to smile for these pictures. It IS a weird feeling loosing a front tooth!
I guess Marce will be visited tonight by the tooth fairy. He doesn't really have a great concept of money but we'll be explaining it to him tonight ha ha. That's a lot of responsibility for a 3 1/2 year old. I guess that's what you get for knocking your teeth out!
Marce fell asleep like this the other night during a snack...
Somehow a banana was stuck on Phoenix' head during lunch last week. Marce kept busting up and said "Mom, take a picture!" Good call Marce!
Getting the banana off.
Looking forward to Halloween! The boys are going as Cowboys and they will look adorable. I can see us 15 years later looking at the pictures I'm going to take! I think Marce is going to really "get" it this year and have a lot of fun! I can't believe October is almost over but I'm excited to see my family and the big Willard family at Thanksgiving! Christmas will be here before we know it!

So cute that Marce wanted you take a pic of Phoenix. I love when they've caught on to humor.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe Marce knocked his tooth out! I can see the whole thing- that dumb Snakebite truck! Haha. Yeah, I can't wait for Halloween!
Yeah I know, and to think it would have never happened probably if we would have gone to that other Carnival! Oh...he loves Snakebite like a best friend. I can't blame the truck ha ha
It's not cause you missed the other carnival. It was bound to happen the way he plays with that dumb truck! Haha.
Oh, poor Marce. That couldn't have felt good. Maybe that will make him slow down with Snakebite...but I wouldn't plan on it! He loves running with it way too much!!!
