How 'bout a trick?

Kalysta and Ady both pulled out their own teeth tonight. I thought Ady's photo was very yesterday's holiday appropriate.
I think this is Kalysta's 9th lost tooth, and Ady's 4th.
Halloween is played down quite a bit in this jolly ole country. There were very few houses on our street ready for trick or treaters. And alot of the old folk weren't ready for us and tried to gather from their stash as much as they could. One guy mustered 3 candy bars for our pack of 11 (we were quite the gang to be shocked at the door with, but how lucky are we to live that close to so many great kids)

In other "tricky" news, Little Em thinks she may be ready to potty train. If her diaper is dry, she wants to keep it that way and will come find me and point to her diaper and say tete (toilet) or ba (bathroom). This is with absolutely no prodding from Mom that she's taken this interest and keeps a dry diaper dry.

Good for Emberly! That is one smart girl!
Great costumes girls--glad you had fun on the spooky holiday--Bet they'll be ready for you next year!
And the missing teeth are very appropriate--was the tooth fairy good to them, or was it a tooth goblin that night?
BTW--we had over 300 knock on our door last night! Steady stream of groups of 6 to 12--the streets were full of big groups all night--last ones rang the doorbell at 10:40---after we'd turned our clocks back!!!

Way to go Emberly!! That is quite impressive. I bet having the sisters to look up to in that skill has helped...is Aubreyelle taking any interest?

Lost teeth too- very appropriate for the holiday :) Congrats you two!
