We are so lucky to have a lawn that has so much clover because if we didn't, then it would be much more difficult to find four and five leaf clovers. That's what Trevor and his friend, Cameron, found yesterday in our front yard. So, if you need to have the opportunity to have luck come your way, then you can come and check out our front lawn! 
I have helpers in the kitchen often. Yesterday Gage put on his apron when he found out I was making blueberry muffins - you can find the recipe here. Well, Mallory wanted to make sure she wasn't forgotten. So, I put an apron on her as well and she was right up there with us trying to help. I was in a non stressful mood (you know the once in a blue moon kind) and was having a great time having them help. Gage loved telling Zane as soon as he came home from work that he made blueberry muffins.
A few weeks ago I was helping Boston brush his teeth and it was then that I realized my child's potential to be a shark! That's right - a shark. He had two sets of bottom front teeth. I knew that his bottom fronts were loose and he was so excited for them to fall out. What I didn't realize is that the other teeth had fully grown in behind them. It was so wild to see four teeth in the front of his mouth where there should have been two. Well, we tried to bribe them for the last two weeks with money, candy, or a good word in to the tooth fairy for extra change, but nothing could get Boston (and mind you Trevor - who also has two teeth where one canine should be) to twist their teeth hard enough to get them out. Every morning before we leave for the bus stop, both Boston and Trevor would pray that they would lose their teeth that day. Finally, it came down to a dentist visit for Boston (we are still working on Trevor's situation) early this morning and he is now just down to 2 - like any human non-shark should be. Thanks to a kind dentist, Boston said it didn't hurt and was pretty proud of himself for being so brave. We all know that the dentist was good at what he did for Boston to feel like that. Boston is so excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight.

WOW - your garden must be lucky... I've searched for 4 leaf clovers and only ever found one!
The kids look like that had lots of funny helping you bake... I know what you mean about non stressful mood as I am sure I don't let Spencer do half the things he wants to do in order to avoid mess!
Am enjoying your blog soooo much... keep it coming. xox
I read this a few days ago and didn't get a chance to leave a comment. So last night when we were outside together we all sat and hunted through the clovers thinking of you. It seems that your Louisville grass is a bit more lucky that ours here in Lexington.
Great photos. Kudos to such a brave Boston. Having teeth pulled is never fun.
And your muffins look so yummy. I made lemon ones yesterday but mine were from a box and I forgot about them and they got too done. Oh well, at least your parmesan chicken recipe I also made turned out really well. We love that stuff. Thanks for sharing it with me!
