Saturday was the big race! Our Elders Quorum hosted a pinewood derby race for families and Mike went all out. He constructed 3 cars, one for each child, with their help of course! I think he enjoyed the time spent in his make shift wood shop (one corner of our garage that has a counter and cupboards). It was a nice break from the norm. Anyway, the kids got a real kick out of their cars and racing their friends, and more importantly there were no major emotional breakdowns when none of them won!
Later that evening, I made a deal with Halle that if she let Mike pull her other loose tooth out at home, she could go to the store with me (I consider myself a master negotiator). She was game immediately and before we knew it, she had two missing teeth! I'm glad Mike is here to be the tooth puller, I don't think pulling teeth is in my scope of practice.
