But I want my teeth to rot out....















Nadya and her "Bling" pacifier
An update on life here at Chandler's Rowe. It finally got cold enough to lite a fire again! We are really enjoying the colder weather (especially Scout;see picture below). It, for some reason, gives me more energy when it is cooler outside.

We have aquired a new dog since my last post. He is a Keeshond and his name is Scout. He is about 5 months old and is very sweet and has a ton of hair! Webster was so cold the other night he let me tuck him in to sleep (see picture below) and Scout was laying on the brick panting because he had been running around. They are so
funny to watch when they play. Webster and Scout
will be playing and Rooster (the neighbor's dog)
will run up and try to join in the tussle.

The garden is doing good. We have broccoli heads that are softball size and cabbage that are about the same. Our tomato plants didn't survive the frost that we had. We covered them, but the dew had already fallen by the time we covered them at midnight so we were a bit dissapointed at that! We will be ordering some peach and citrus trees soon. So we are planning for that.
Well, you are probably wondering about the title of this post. That was Sean's response to me calling for him to come and brush his teeth the other night. I had been trying to convey the reason behind brushing our teeth to him, but apparently his consequence reasoning is not mature enough yet. Note to self: don't try to reason with a three year old! Life is good here and its all because of God!

When it rains it pours....



Well, it was certainly a true Monday yesterday! Seth woke up and found a wasp on the window seal and killed it, thinking one just snuck in somehow. Nope, we found them off and on in the house all day. We think they are in the chimney. Then, while I was washing clothes the toilet was bubbling when the washer would drain. When I went to cook lunch there was no gas and of course yesterday was a holiday! To top it off when I went to get my clothes out of the dryer they were wet, so I put them back on thinking I had just forgotten to turn them on-wrong-the dryer is broken so I had to go to my neighbors and dry my clothes. Other than that we had a great day. All I could do was laugh! Here are some recent pictures of the kids. Life is good here at Chandler's Rowe! Isn't God good!?

Look out for the snake!





Here is the snake my neighbour killed. She was driving and saw it so she stopped on top of it. Then, when she got home she walked in the back of her truck not realizing that it was still alive. She found that out when she woke up the next morning and the snake had crawled up to the cab in her truck!! It was 39" long. Glad it wasn't in my yard!!

Below is a picture of the boys in the bathtub. When you can do this to their hair it is definitely time for a cut!!
