Fun in the backyard

Ok, some of these pictures look like someone is going to end up at the ER, but it was funny.

I have a staple in my mouth!

Michael had been saying for a few days that he had a staple in his mouth. I figured, whatever, he says strange stuff all of the time. In the fall after he caught a cold he would say that he had leaves in his mouth. I guess he put 2 and 2 together, played in the leaves, got a sore throat. I knew there was no way that he really did not have a staple in his mouth so I did not give it much thought.

On Thursday morning Eric was getting ready to take the boys for a dentist appointment. Michael says to me that he is going to ask the dentist about the staple in his mouth. I told him "Michael you do not have a staple in your mouth", he insisted he did. I went and got a flashlight and looked in his mouth....well he has a new tooth coming in behind a wiggly baby tooth. Now that explained everything, I really could understand why he thought it was a staple. He was very proud to show the dentist his new tooth. Turns out most of his bottom front teeth are loose. Guess the tooth fairy is going to be busy!
