We are trying to get caught back up on our blog. We've updated it through most of May 2010, but here are few recent things that have been happening.
Mallory lost her first tooth last week. It had been annoying her for weeks that she had to chew her food on the side of her mouth because it hurt so badly to chew with her front teeth.
We had been telling Mallory to wiggle it back and forth to try to get it out. We even tried the "tying some string around the tooth" trick.
But what it finally came down to was Grant simply pulling it out.
Grant surprised us at the school Variety Show when he performed on the drums with the Junior Blues Band. We knew he had been practicing with the band every week during his lunch break, but didn't know he was so good, especially given the fact that he doesn't have his own drum kit to practice on at home.
When one of our friends asked Grant how he got so good at playing the drums, without having a drum kit at home, Grant's answer was "Wii Rock Band."
Luke just finished his big Grade 5 project -- an investigation into the effects of video games on people. His final project was this video with 3 of his classmates.
Luke and Grant have also been having fun making a variety of other videos, and posting them on YouTube, under the "Switcheroos" name.
This "Pools and the Playground" video is one of the favorites.
