September In Review: Lost Teeth, Cooking & More Football!

Lost Teeth

Look at this face!

Seriously...

Look at that smile...

that beautiful

sweet

precious

TOOTHLESS 

smile!!

Shortly after we returned from our

marathon camping trip...

Jackson had a VERY loose tooth.

We kept expecting it to fall out,

we tried talking him into

NUMEROUS 

"fun" ways to get it out.

He politely declined

ALL

suggestions.

Eventually,

it just fell out.

The one beside it,

was also loose,

but just getting good and loose...

after insisting 

on waiting til 

the extremely loose

one fell out on its own...

his older brother,

assisted him in removing the other one.

They were wrestling in the playroom,

then Jackson came running in 

super excited about something...

then showed me the SECOND tooth 

that was no longer in his mouth...

but in his hand!

And after all the drama 

surrounding the first tooth falling out...

that one...

was a piece of cake.

Homemade CornDog Muffins

We were kinda stuck in a lunch rut.

I wanted to try some different things for lunch.

I made mini quiches...

I loved them,

my guys...eh,

they didn't love them.

That was ok with me,

because they were SOOOO

time consuming to make!!

So I tried something else,

my guys love corndogs,

I do too!

I don't love how they are 

LOADED 

with fat and calories!

LOADED!!

So I attempted to make my own,

well, something similar.

I cut 6 all beef, low fat

hot dogs into fourths.

Then put them in the center

of the muffin tin.

I mixed up one box of Jiffy Corn Bread mix,

per the instructions.

Then spooned it around the cut up hot dogs.

Baked them a little less than the instructions called for,

and wound up with this!

Cute, huh?

They like these!

Not as much as the "real" 

corndogs..

but they will do!

We finally started school in September!

This is where Jackson started out reading...

but the littles have

quickly taken over that corner,

and Jackson has been booted to 

the living room sofa.

That's ok though, 

less distractions in there...

when he is by himself.

More Football!!!

We were surprised to see some 

old friends

had a parking spot 

right across from us!!!

My bestie and her youngest

also joined us at this game.

Sweet daddy/daughter moment.

That's a lot of "fan"nies

hanging out down there!

This happened to be the 

Military Appreciation Game.

This is my absolute favorite game

EVERY.YEAR!!

For many reason...

MANY.

But the hubs is actually a vet.

So because of him,

I have a new found respect

and 

admiration

for all things military!

I asked my bestie

to take a picture of me and my baby boy...

He wasn't cooperating!!

My face says it all!!

And I eventually just gave up.

 This beauty always stops to smile for the camera!

And this picture...
