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.
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.
First off, I have to start by saying that I do love my husband. My teasing him is out of love. That's what we do to each other, trust me he teases me worse then I tease him. So, just because I like to post his goofiness on my blog from time to time doesn't mean that we're not getting along. We actually have a terrific marriage. Don't get me wrong, we have our ups and downs and anyone who says they don't ever have downs in their marriages are lying. I just got wind that some people (who probably don't know us that well) were worried about us after reading my posts. I love my Kurt.
On that note, Kurt quit his job working for a t.v. station selling advertising for their website. It started out alright, they promoted him just after a couple months to manage the team, but he spent all his time managing and no time selling for himself, which lead him to quit being the manager and focus on his own sales. He then realized just how much he hated knocking doors for someone else's business and not spending his time building a business of his own. So he called me one day and asked if I had his support to quit the next day.
I told him to go for it, we had nothing to loose, this business just wasn't working out for him. He's an incredible salesman and manager, but he completely lost his drive and motivation to sell this product. He was having a really hard time getting himself to go to work everyday, and stay working everyday and not spending his time golfing, hanging out with his buddies, going to lunch...it just wasn't working.
The day after he quit his brother and him decided to start a roofing company. He's been roofing everyday since. It's not his first choice of work, but he's being active, which is great for him and his stress, and they want to get to the point where they have a crew working for them and they do the biding and find the work.
He's also still selling cars with his friend and making a little money that way. I hope we survive!!! It's been a crazy road since he quit the dealership over a year ago, but we've learned a ton and hopefully use our new knowledge wisely. It just stinks that the economy has to be so slow while we try to get a new business up and running. This may sound terrible, but my comfort in it all is that everyone is in the same boat as we are with the economy, and times are harder for lots of people right now. Hopefully things look up from this point on!!!
Raegan's in KINDERGARTEN!!!! I'm so excited for her and her new adventure at the big school! Raegan has been asking for the last month if it's "fall" yet so that she can start kindergarten. Well "fall" came last week and off to school she went.
I had purchase a couple of new outfits for Raegan to start school with and I let her choose which one she wanted to wear the first day. She had to have a fashion show to decide with the full length mirror in her room. With each outfit she would pose, spin and check herself out while making comments like:"This one looks cute with a smile!", "A pony tail would be cute with this one.", "Buns go with this outfit", oh boy, I had to try hard not to embarrass her by cracking up laughing. She finally settled on the tie died blue dress with white shorts. She was pretty dang cute, and she was right, that outfit was perfect with a smile.
Her teacher is Mrs. Rigamoto and she asked that the parents come for the first 30 minutes of school. The kids sang songs, did art projects and read a story. Raegan didn't care when I left, she was just excited to be doing her own thing. I'm not worried about her making friends or doing well in class. She's such a friendly girl and genuinely concerned with others and their feelings. She also loves to learn and listens well to her teachers, she wants to please everyone. Hopefully that trait is used to her benefit in school and doesn't lead to disappointment. Raegan is such a great kid, I'm sad that she'll be going to school everyday, but I'm so proud of her and I know she'll do great!
