Chalk Festival 2016

Last weekend, G and I hung out at the Chalk Festival.

We started with the train.

We spent quite a bit of time hunting for chalk Pokemon. This was a big hit with everyone at the festival. Smart thinking, Cordovan Art School!



We got in a bit of air-conditioned LEGO building time.



We did our own chalk art.



We cheered on contestants in the donut-eating competition.



And we took pictures with some of the art that is around downtown.







Dad stayed home to watch the Longhorn game. We missed the game, but we did see a longhorn!



We also had a snow-cone with a friend from Sunrise Montessori and listened to some fun songs by Joe McDermott. We rounded it all out with some "real" Pokemon hunting and ice cream at Star Coffee. It was a fun day!

First Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Gabriel got his first visit from the Tooth Fairy this week!

After several weeks of wiggling his tooth around, it was finally loose enough that I declared it was time to pull it.

We tied one end of some dental floss to his tooth and the other end to a Nerf dart. G pulled the trigger himself and out came the tooth!

We put his tooth in the pocket of the tooth fairy pillow he helped pick out, hung it on the outside doorknob to his bedroom, and when he got up the next morning, his tooth had been replaced with a $2 bill!

We heard a rumor that the Tooth Fairy had a secret stash of $2 bills so she doesn't get caught off guard in the future. ;)
