Tooth Fairy Confusion

The tooth fairy seems to be a big part of our lives these days, that's why she always seems to make it on the blog. Macy has watched her sister lose 4 teeth in the past little bit and is very jealous. She constantly tries to wiggle her teeth and tell me that they're "growing up".

Macy was fortunate enough to have the muscle that connects your upper lip to your teeth wrap around in between her two front teeth, she had to get it cut. Actually, she didn't have to have it cut. If she didn't, she would always have a huge space in between her two front teeth. I didn't want her to look like Madonna, so I made the decision to have her snipped.

We explained to her what was going to happen and she got a huge smile and said "And the Tooth Fairy's going to come?" She came up with a great idea, of course the tooth fairy would come for that.

After torturing her at the dentist and my mom having to babysit her all day, she wrote a note to the tooth fairy and put it under her pillow.

4:30 a.m. Macy is upset and crying in our room, I take her back to her room and she shows me around the room and says "See, there's no tooth fairy in here!" "and my tooth is still in my mouth. See?" I had to explain that the tooth fairy doesn't stay in your room, or take teeth out of your mouth while your sleeping. She just leaves something under your pillow. At that point she discovered the dollar and went running through the house sooooo excited and woke up Kurt to show him. I had to keep her from waking up Raegan. After that, she didn't go back too sleep, she was just too excited to head to the dollar store the next day. We were all tired.

Going Back to Preschool

I feel so lucky to be teaching preschool right now. I was able to take over one of the classes at the preschool I wanted to teach at and I'm loving it!!! At first when I got the call I was apprehensive about putting myself over the edge adding one more thing to my already busy life, but so far I'm glad that I did it. I'm really enjoying being with the kids, and the time flies by.
So I guess that I'm now offically working 3 jobs and being a mom! Along with teaching I still make bows for Baby Bling and of course take pictures. I love all my jobs, but I know that I'm going to have to let other parts of my life go for a bit while I do this, my house may not get as clean as I like, my girls hair won't be quite as cute as I like it, my laundry may not always be done....but all in all I think it will be worth it as long as I can keep my sanity.

Halloween 2009

All for One and One for All!!!!
I heard this phrase over and over this Halloween season. At the beginning of the month Kenlie called and asked Raegan if she and Mallory would like to be the three Musketeers for Halloween, all thanks to the new Barbie movie that just came out. We couldn't resist that offer! Then the younger three: Macy, Afton, and Lily didn't want to be left out of the game so they became the three Musketeers as well! 6 of the cutest Musketeers there ever was!

In order to make them darling, the moms, Kristin, Casi and I went together to buy all the materials and pattern for their costumes. Thank goodness we all have mothers and mother-in-laws that are fantastic sewers and help us all whip up these darling dresses with capes. My mother-in-law helped me, okay, let's be honest, she practically made mine for me since I decided to get sick and wasn't there to help her for a couple days. But didn't she do a great job? I just loved their costumes when we finished them.

The girls all went trick-or-treating together this year as well because we all know that the 3, oh, I mean 6, Musketeers can't be apart.

There were soooo many cute pictures that showed these cute girls personalities. I'm going to have to post more on my photography blog (when I get the chance).

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.
