Alot can happen in just one weeks time

So here's all the craziness that filled the Brantley house over the past week:
*Devlan was picked up from school and told us that he got on orange. Now, that means he was one step from the principals office. When I asked him what happened, his response was "I touched a girl on her private parts". So now my heart is in my throat and I'm doing my best to not totally lose it and wreck the car (yes this is all happening while I drive). So I take a deep breath and ask very calmly, "What it up top or down between her legs?" Then Devlan gave me sort of a funny look (through the rearview mirror) and said "no Mommy, on the back of her legs". WHEW!! I had really been sweating, crazy things running through my head like is 6 too young to recognize a sexual predator and could a 6 year old be arrested, but I was so relieved to hear he only swatted the girl on her butt. And just for the record, he only hit her, after she hit him first, granted the child could use better aim and for the life of him can't understand why it's ok for Daddy to constantly be smacking Mommy on the hiney, but it's not ok for him to do it.
*Monday was my honey's birthday, the big 32. Devlan, wrote him a very sweet card, and then pulled out a small orange piece of paper from his bible. Months ago, Devlan had earned a certificate for a free Frosty from Wendy's at C2Kids. He had been saving it all this time for his Daddy's birthday. It was soooo sweet, and by now the thoughts of jail and therapy had long disappeared. I just held him for a long time, trying to remember the way his little hands felt around my back, so I can cry about it 20 years from now when his arms are around some huzzy. (Just kidding....sort of)
*Finally, our last big event of the week was when Devlan lost his very first tooth!!! Well lost probably isn't the best description. This child had wiggled and twisted this tooth until it was literally hanging out of his head. I finally convinced him to let me "check" it and when I touched it it feel in my hand. The tooth fairy visited and left $1. Devlan was a bit disappointed with only getting a dollar...I did my best not to whack him upside the head. What does he think? Money grows on trees?
I'm sure you guys are wondering where Drew was during all of this....climbing on something or terrorizing the dog mostly. He has been thrilled to not be the one in trouble for once, being very excited to tell me that he had a good day at school when his brother had a bad one. He's of course now thinking that all of his teeth are lose, because although sometimes they fight and bicker, Drew idolizes his big borther and wants to do and be everything he is!
