First Tooth Falls Out


She was at school when it happened. She was at her desk resting her head on her hands, when out fell the tooth. She excitedly told her teacher, who sent her to the secretary. There, she received a cute tooth-shaped container for her tooth. A few months ago the dentist had pulled four lower teeth to make room for some incoming teeth, but this was her first spontaneous tooth loss!

A Day in the Life of 3S



One rainy afternoon a few weeks ago, the girls announced that they were bored. I don't know how they could possibly have time to be bored, or whether or not they actually understand what "bored" means...Nonetheless, we set up a pumpkin painting station in the basement, and even Mama got her own pumpkin.  They very much enjoyed this impromptu activity. Unfortunately the heavy pre-Halloween rains washed the paint away...

Three Furry Monsters


Three furry monsters
Out for Halloween treats
Running to and fro the houses
In search of yummy sweets

A dawdler ran to catch her sisters
And fell and bumped her knee
For she wanted as many 
Candies as them, you see

Before long, the little one tired 
And Mama and Papa took turns
Carrying the little red monster
All the way home
