dinner with nate's parents

nate's parents came over for dinner this past sunday. the kids always love it when the grandparents come over and they tend to get a little crazy! nate made a pork tenderloin for dinner and nate's dad brought corn on the cob from his garden. it was yummy. for dessert, i made scones (pan bread). it was a pretty uneventful evening but a good time to relax and visit. even though they only live a short distance away, we don't really get together very often to just hangout.

before his parents left, we snapped a couple pictures of the kids with their pa and nana.

our first tooth fairy visit

the tooth fairy has officially visited the Harwood home.

last thursday, while at pa's house, jared's bottom-left tooth came loose while eating corn on the cob. jared played with it all night and all the next day until around 4:30 pm when he finally yanked it out. nathan snapped this picture with his camera phone right afterward.

a couple of days later, (i kept forgetting to remind him to put the tooth under his pillow) the tooth fairy came to visit and left jared 4 quarters. he was so excited.

i need a new nanny

after all the trouble the kids have been causing at home, sylvia has given her two weeks notice. it would be a lie to say that i am surprised, because i am not at all. she is afraid something bad might happen while she is there and she just doesn't want to be responsible for that, which i complete understand considering she doesn't enforce rules or apply any type of discipline.

i will miss how clean my house is when i come home though.



so if anyone knows anyone who wants to watch 3 kids a couple times a week, let me know.
