The Tooth Fairy's a Thief!

Raegan has been losing teeth left and right lately. She has no problem just pulling them out, maybe because she gets excited to get her dollar and head to the dollar store the next day with no influence from mom of what to buy. It's her own choice.

The other night Kurt pulled out her top left tooth, it had been hanging down so long past the rest of her teeth that I was glad that she finally got rid of it. That night she put her tooth in a plastic bag (it makes it so much easier for the tooth fairy when that tooth is in a baggie) and put it under her pillow. Hanging on her bed post was her open bright yellow purse filled with all sorts of treasures. Raegan was so concerned about that tooth fairy stealing from her yellow purse that she had to zip it up before she went to bed. I tried to convince her that the tooth fairy doesn't take things that arent' hers, but Raegan didn't believe me.

The tooth fairy came that night and thank goodness all of Raegan's special things were still in her room. She did double check the yellow purse to make sure all it's contents were in place.

Dosen't Everyone Want to be a Daisy Scout?

I have to admit that Girl Scouts wasn't originally on my list of activities that my girls would participate in. But when Denise approached me and asked if Raegan would like to be in her troop I couldn't turn it down. Denise is just awesome and I knew that Raegan would have tons of fun if Denise was the leader. She's the kind of person that goes above and beyond, especially when it comes to fun activities and parties. Last year her troop even went to Build -A- Bear.
This is Raegan being sworn into the troop I guess you could say. She has loved it so far and has already learned a lot about being a good citizen.

Gardner Village 2009

Our annual trip to Gardner Village, I know that everyone has this same post this time of year and we didn't want be left out. It wouldn't feel like Halloween if we missed this tradition. My girls wanted to see "the witch going potty" 3 different times, they thought it was hilarious, although that picture didn't make the blog cut.

Cabin Fun

Thanks to the Wrights we were able to escape this weekend for a night at their cabin. The girls were in heaven being together with friends, going exploring, playing rock band, making up clubs and stores and sleeping next to each other. Kurt and Jared got some football in while Casi and I tried to figure out our girls Halloween costumes, and cut them out using a pattern (something fairly new to me, I sew free hand) I think we only really messed up Mallory's "outer skirt". I guess we'll find out when we go to sew them together how well we did. It was great to be able to get away from everything for a night and be with friends. Thanks Wrights!






Here's cute Mal roasting a cracker, no smore's for this girl, she hates chocolate. I wish I hated chocolate.

I Gasped.

This may be hard to believe but is a picture of Macy's piggy tails. You're probably wondering why they're on the floor and not on her head. Well, they were on her head at one point this morning. She decided that while I was in the shower (of which this morning I had to take a 5 minute shower, thank goodness), that she would find the hair cutting scissors and cut off her piggies. Wow. I walked in to see her standing in front of the t.v., one piggy tail off and she was working on the other, it was half way gone. She just looked up at me while I gasped and kept working on cutting that other side, while she stood there in a pile of hair. The first thing I thought was, I've got to call Heidi, this is an emergency. She was so sweet and was at my door 5 minutes later to assess the damage.

Luckily her hair was pulled up so she was only able to cut to where the rubber band was and not straight to her scalp, so most of the damage was at the back, which is why we decided to cut her into a short a-line, this was the very longest we could keep her hair. I like her hair to be a little longer so that I can pull it up in different hair dos, but I'll have to kiss that goodbye until it grows out now.

What was she thinking.

On the hair cutting topic; I chopped mine off a week ago. Maybe that's where Macy got the brilliant idea. So here we are with our new, now almost matching, haircuts.
