Rose has lost two teeth this week, her first molars and Tobias has a very loose top front tooth. And Rose has another one that is quite loose. I don't know about these children, conspiring to part me from all my lose $1 bills. They get $2 per tooth because they so far do not get an allowance, so this is the only time they really get money outside birthdays and Christmas. I'm not sure if I'll continue the $2 per tooth once the allowance starts. Probably pretty much locked into it now.

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous posts this week, I received a 3 pack of different Jergen's lotions, more Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner, and the Shick Intuition razor. I haven't tried it yet, I can't shave my legs for 4 more days due to product testing, but it sure seems awkward in the hand. I hope it works better than it feels. If it doesn't, I don't mind pitching it as it was free, after all.

I had to fire up the wood stove last night/tonight. It got so cold. I don't think it can be colder than 45 but that is cold enough to make the walls feel cold. It was nice to make the house all toasty and warm, but if I have to start heating the house already, I don't see how what I have on hand in wood will last past January.

I'll have to get on the horn to FIL and ask him to bring out the wood he's been saving for me since the sumac blew down. He's got a truckload or so and I know my mother has a small truckload. We should be able to squeak by on that without buying any this year. I've got to get a new permit for taking deadfall from the river banks so we can get started on next year's supply for free. And hope so more trees blow down at FIL's place. He has plenty.
