Looking for Halloween or Pumpkin ideas? Not a post for weak stomachs!!

PJ is losing teeth all over the place! On her birthday, she was determined to lose her first front tooth. She worked that little thing right out. She then had fun acting like Dracula. A couple weeks later we were at a neighborhood party when completely out of the blue, it didn't even seem super wiggly, her other front tooth fell out. Today she lost a bottom tooth, completing her pumpkin smile for Halloween. Picture Day was last Thursday and she says it was a blast. The photographer made her show her (or what's left of her) teeth. I can't wait to see how the pictures come out!

Hamster Ball races!!!

b


Saturday we headed down to Petco for the annual Hamster Ball races. Our Annie was in the first heat. She won by a mile. She just took off while this Teddy Bear Hamster, dwarf hamster and gerbil just hung out in their balls, frozen by the excitement. Patty was in the 3rd heat. She was in the lead when she just stopped with only two inches of track to go! Luckily, every other hamster in the race stopped, too. Kevin snapped his fingers in front of her ball, which almost made her go the other way (Nooooo!!), but just as the judge was ready to start them all over - she ran to the end. So, of the 12 small rodents, both our girls were in the finals. Annie took off again and won second place by an inch. Patty came in third because the fourth hamster never moved. It was a dalmation hamster and the cutest thing you ever saw. Kevin swears the winner "bowled" his hamster ball and Annie should have won.

PJ's 7th birthday

Here are some pictures of PJ's "Cosmic Bowling" birthday party. She had the high score (not including all the Dad scores) of 86. I love bowling with bumpers!
