Today I laughed and today I cried...

This is what made me laugh today....

Anna has 3 teeth that are loosening and ready to be pulled. She told her dad today that she was not going to play at recess or gym because she was afraid that during a game that she may get hit so hard that her teeth may get knocked out and she would lose them and not get a visit from the tooth fairy.

This is what made me cry today...

Anna and my nephew Reid were born to be outdoors. Anna's favorite place to play is outside at Reid's house. They go out and are lost for hours in the yard or the woods finding frogs, bugs and mud fights. Today the most horrific thing happened. I was in Amber's kitchen making cornbread for supper when Anna and Reid stormed in the house covered in yellow jackets. The dog, Bandit, found the nest and was attacked. When Anna and Reid went to see what the fuss was about, they were attacked too. It was the scariest thing. They were all in Anna's hair, down her shirt...they were everywhere. Poor Bandit was covered in them and he was running all over the house leaving yellow jackets flying everywhere. During all of this, Addie locked herself in the bedroom crying hysterically because she was afraid. She was stung by a yellow jacket this summer and that had traumatized her. It was an eventful night to say the least. Anna has had her last dose of bennadryl and is off to lala land. They are fine, just very shaken up. The yellow jackets should be drowning in gasoline right about now. All is well.
