A Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Yesterday evening Maddie came SCREAMING down the stairs with blood pouring from her mouth. Another one of her bottom front teeth came out when she was wiggling it. It scared the living daylights out of her.

She put her tooth in the tooth fairy pillow and we put it on her shelf (easier for the TF to get to ;) The tooth Fairy left her $1.00. After school, I took her to the dollar store to buy something with her money. She picked out a pair of blue pom-poms. All I've been hearing this afternoon is cheers she and Katie are making up. I've tried sneaking up on them to get video, but they run & hide as soon as they know I'm there. I hope this is all the loose teeth for awhile. We are having family pictures done at church on Friday and Maddie is missing 3 front teeth! Should make for a cute picture, if we can get her to smile that is.

Outside Play

With the weather in the 70's, we spent all day Saturday outside playing. Here is Katie while we were outside.

Here is Katie after she tried to stand in the swing. My little bruiser looks like she went 10 rounds with Ali. Her shiner should be nice and purple by Christmas.

Then today, Maddie lost her first tooth! It has been loose, and she has been so afraid of loosing it. I tried explaining to her that another tooth is underneath the one she was loosing, but she was inconsolable. I finally got it out of the little drama queen that she was afraid that all she could eat was applesauce since she wouldn't have any teeth!

So between Katie's black eye, and Maddie's missing tooth, my 2 princesses look more like hockey players!
