Camden is losing it..

teeth... that is....
After Family Home Evening.. the kids took their routine scrub a dub -dubs and jammies were the chosen apparel for the remaiderof the evenings events.
Camden has had this tooth that has been hanging on by a prayer for a few days now. He has had his hands constantly in his mouth wiggling and jiggling the tooth.
They had lost their dessert from FHE, because they werent listening.. so after a few minutes of Camden yanking the tooth, I told him if he pulled it out I would give him an oreo.. ( the homemade treat that was made for FHE.. right out of the box).. He was game. Out came the washcloth for proper gripage... and he started pulling..
The more pulling he did.. the funnier the tooth started to look. gnarled.. you could say.. twisted.. nanny mcphee'ish'.
This was the winning pull.. he was so happy.. he had tears in his eyes..


Camden.. one less toother...

Checking out his new smile... daddy washing his tooth off.. ( made sure the drain was plugged)

Camden's new smile.
They did earn thier oreo... and brushed teeth afterwards.. man... they stick in your teeth forever..
I had a mission friends whose status on facebook today was : cleaning house with kids home is like brushing your teeth while eating an oreo.. made me laugh...
Camden and Case were in charge of FHE tonight. They picked the songs, prayer and lesson. Camden told us about Joseph Smith and the First Vision.. it was cute in his own words..
Case held up a picture of sacrament.. and we talked about how we should act during the Sacrament. ( this is definitley something we are working on)... Camden even bore his little testimony.
they played hide the monkey... and then it was time to sing Once there was a Snowman...
The tooth was the highlight of the evening. The tooth is tucked away in a jewlery box under his pillow.. Hopefully the toothfairy will remember to stop tonight..
( she even has cash in her purse.. an oddity for her)

I always forgot to leave the money. I don't know how many nights our Tooth Fairy was "grounded" because "it must have rained last night and she couldn't get her wings wet" Ahhhh the things we do.
