Tiger Teeth

H, last week mom and I went to your school a few minutes before standard pickup time.

See, we came to watch your STEM Club do a little presentation in the form of a parade.

You took these little electric cars, designed floats on top of them, and did your own little Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade down between all of the parents lining the hallway.

It was cute and you smiled so big when you saw we were there.

But here is the thing.

The entire parade you were smiling with a big pair of fake teeth in your mouth.

They were the big white vampire teeth you sometimes see thrown in with a pile of Halloween candy.

I knew they were vampire teeth. Mom knew they were vampire teeth. Everyone knows they are vampire teeth.

We congratulated you when you got to the end of the hallway with both adulation and hugs and kisses.

Finally we asked: “Whatcha got there?”

You said:

Tiger Teeth

Now I don’t know which principal or teacher told you they were tiger teeth, but you have got to love private Christian schools.

Ha!

I love you.

Living Room Floor

Ok, so I forgot to tell the rest of the story after the lame game.

See, Jenny and Dusty were at the game too. Not with us. They were down in the cheap seats dowm below Ha!

This meant that Pop and Gammies were watching all five of you girls back at our house.

We got home and all visited in the late afternoon and then went to an early dinner at Abuelo’s. It happened to also be Gammies’ birthday.

We visited some more that evening and then Jenny and Dusty went to a hotel for the night while Pop and Gammies headed back to Seminole.

You girls all slept together on air mattresses on the living room floor. Everyone fell asleep with little issue. we turned out the lights so late.

Everyone left by lunch the next day and we nearly collapsed from the full weekend when they did.

It was fun. And I loved watching you all play with each other.

I love you.

Played Lavishly

H and K, we played lavishly good tonight.

All you girls were in Midland today for H’s OIT while I was at work.

But I got home at 5 with pizza from Papa John’s and left soon after to get Blue Sky for mom and I.

After dinner, you girls and I got in the floor of our bedroom and played for a good half hour.

We fought, wrestled, tickled and fell on each other over and over (Y’all fell on me.).

It was the absolute best.

I love you.
