Second Wobbly Tooth

It's true. Tooth number two is very wobbly. It wants to come out soooo badly.

FIRST lost tooth

I found myself, for the first time in a really long time, feeling really sad about my little girls growing up. This, of course, is linked directly to the fact Chase lost her first tooth. All I could think about when I held it in my hand was the exact moment I saw her first tooth, cutting its way through her gums. And how amazing it was to see her go from having no teeth, to a mouth full of gorgeous teeth.

Her lost tooth is so little. And white. And absolutely perfect. Just like her.

Guy Fawkes Day

We celebrated Guy Fawkes Day with friends. Sadly, due to Hong Kong's rules and regulations (for which I am most grateful most days) we could not light a bondfire and burn things, as they do in London.

But there was an effigy ...




















Games ...

































































Bobbing for apples...

































And even home-made caramel apples ...













Almost the size of Madoc's head! Whoa!

Her mouth, by the way, is full of caramel in this picture ...

Halloween In Honkers

Before trick-or-treating, we stopped by a friend's house for a party. I'm not sure I'd want to answer the door for this lot!

The kids ...













The parents ...













Kids: "Swarm! Swarm!"

Parents gently reminding kids: "Say thank you..."














The candy ...




















And finally, our annual Halloween family picture ... maybe one day we will all (1) look at the camera and (2) smile.
