A freeze... and loose teeth!

BRRR! It is supposed to get to 24 tonight! That is extremely rare for here, where it often gets to about 29 or 30 in Dec. or January but rarely much below that. I just put our outside faucets on a little drip to hopefully keep anything from freezing. The kids and I also put some water in our kiddie pool, pretending we are scientists to see what happens to the water overnight. There was actually a frozen puddle at Owen's school this afternoon, to my amazement - I haven't seen a frozen puddle for years!

Owen has two loose teeth! Both his left top front tooth and the one below it, the left bottom front, are loose. Almost all of his friends have lost teeth already so he was very ready for a wiggly tooth to happen. He said yesterday after school that his tooth hurt, but we didn't figure out it was loose until last night, and then just a few minutes ago he realized the lower one was also loose. It feels rather weird to wiggle it.

I went into his class today and showed them pictures by Seurat and let them try to make some pointillist drawings. That was fun. Next week we are going to try with Q-tips and paint.
