Recent happenings

Not a ton new around the Noble household but here are a few cute moments from the last couple weeks. :)
One night I made my family do a little tabata training with me. ha!  Here they are doing their planks and push ups.  
Braden finally lost his top left tooth. I say finally because this tooth was hilarious. He's already had the other big tooth in for a long time and this baby tooth was not wanting to budge.  It was a little loose and literally got stuck sticking straight out the front of his mouth! I wish I had a picture because for two weeks he could barely close his upper lip over his teeth. ha!!!  Then he came home from school and it was hanging by one thread...thankfully it popped out at dinner that night!
 
So the tooth was finally out and we were pumped.  But then somehow, the tooth fairy (parents of the year here) FORGOT to come that night! Ugh!!  Chris and I felt so pathetic. :(  I blamed it on the fact that the boys go to bed at 7:30 and we are like midnight so that was a lot of time to forget.  Braden figured the white tooth blended in with the white pillow and that's what must have happened (poor baby). :( So this time the tooth fairy left a note and an extra dollar for her big mistake.
This week Braden completed his science fair project. 
We decided to do how much sugar is in kids' favorite drinks because Braden loves reading the nutritional label on the back of drinks and food.  He learned all about this at an after school YMCA program.  We headed up to the gas station so Braden could pick out some favorite drinks his friends might like. 
He lined them up in his predicted order of least amount of sugar to the most.  He was actually pretty accurate although that big chocolate milk won for the most. 
Of course we drank a couple of them since we bought them.  Due to this project, Ethan peed the bed two nights in a row!! No more special drinks at night. hee hee 
He colored his results graph. 
The finished project-We weighed the sugar on a food scale (thanks Alicia!) to determine how many grams to put into each zip lock. 
And finally, dropping it off at his classroom.
