One Less Tooth

Meg lost her first baby tooth yesterday! She was a little scared and was a bit worried that it would hurt or that she would miss her tooth when it was gone. Luckily her sister's stories about the Tooth Fairy and what can be bought with the money made it better.

Unfortunately the Tooth Fairy is a flighty creature. She didn't show up. So when Meg woke up this morning all she found under her pillow was her tooth. Whoops!!

So I told Meg that sometimes things happen to make the Tooth Fairy get off schedule so she has to come a day late. So that has me wondering, what excuses have other moms out there had to give for the Tooth Fairy being late?

Gratitude

It seems I've missed my Monday morning Gratitude posts for a few Mondays in a row now. So I thought I'd try to get one posted right now while I'm thinking about it and almost have time. It seems the closer we get to the end of the school year, the busier I am. With all the kids outside activities, field trips and needing to finish lessons on time, I am out of time.

Today I am grateful for:

• Sunshine and warm weather
• Guinea fowl
• My dog, who loves me no matter what side of the bed I wake up on.
• Sleep

What are you grateful for?

Six Years Old Today

Yes, I know I missed TWO Gratitude posts. I will get back to that later. Today something more important is happening. My Megan is turning six years old.

Just look at how sweet and tiny she was at just four months old:

And now look what happens when she gets a hold of my camera:

Happy Birthday sweetie, I love you.
