Tales of the Tooth Fairy - Part 2 and Random Stuff

I know the suspense is killing you - did the Tooth Fairy return to the ESPN house or did we get another e-mail due to bad behavior?  Good news the Tooth Fairy visited and left $1.  Chatty was very happy and immediately asked if she could put it in her piggy bank.  I don't think she understands the whole money concept and buying things either that or she just expects Mr. ESPN and me to pay for everything with our money!

In other news Bia has been waking up at 5:00 and demanding breakfast.  She comes in our room and lays on our bed and then yells "I WANT BREAKFAST!"  I told her yesterday that her chef (Mr. ESPN) was in the shower and she would have to wait.  Demanding little thing she is!  Good thing she is cute - crazy bed head hair and all!

We finally have a fairly quiet weekend with minimal commitments - ahhhh!  Let's see how long it lasts!  I do have to get up early tomorrow so I can go on a run ... Saturdays are my long runs and since it is still over 100 freakin degrees I gotta get moving early.  I started at 7:40 last week and when I was done at 8:30 I thought I was going to die, it was HOT!

Have a good weekend!

Tales of the Tooth Fairy

Chatty lost another tooth ... pretty soon she won't have any teeth left!  She lost her tooth at school, which is a very BIG deal.  She got to bring home three special "Loose Tooth" books and received a special sticker too.  She was so excited.  Fast forward to last night where things went south in a bad way.  Chatty was screaming and throwing a major fit.  During her tirade Mr. ESPN told me, "I don't think the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight."  This morning Chatty wakes up and comes to me upset.  I asked her what was wrong and she said the Tooth Fairy didn't come.  I explained to her that the Tooth Fairy sent us a note (she asked where the note was - I bluffed and said she actually sent an e-mail - gotta love technology) saying she didn't stop by last night because Chatty was misbehaving so badly.  She wasn't buying it s I pulled the Santa card.  I told her just like Santa doesn't bring gifts if you are bad, the Tooth Fairy doesn't bring money if you are bad.  I told Chatty to try and have a better day and we'll see what happens tonight.

Milestone Weekend

So we hit another milestone this weekend with Chatty Cathy ... she lost her first tooth. I was totally surprised when she showed me Friday afternoon that her tooth was very loose - only hanging on in the front. Being the sweet momma that I am, I told her we needed to pull it out. Mr. ESPN googled it and the information he found said let it come out naturally. Whatever - we always pulled them out when we were kids! I even told Chatty Cathy she would be wise to lose the tooth that night as the Tooth Fairy gets paid on Fridays and would have more cash that night than say a Monday night. She then got pretty interested and asked if the Tooth Fairy was going to bring her $100! I sadly had to inform her it is a recession and budgets have been cut, even for the Tooth Fairy. So yes I pulled her tooth out and she screamed a bit but then was fine ... just another example of why my kids will need therapy someday! She was pretty excited about the $5 she received from the Tooth Fairy. Mr. ESPN and I weren't sure what the going rate was but thought for a first tooth that was a decent amount.

Saturday Chatty and I got our hair cut and Bia got a little trim ... church on Sunday and some swimming. When we were getting ready to go swimming I looked for my new (not cheap) bathing suit I got earlier this summer and couldn't find it. I looked and looked and looked and even accused Mr. ESPN of putting it away in the wrong place (he does a lot of the laundry and my stuff oftentimes turns up missing) . Needless to say I finally found it along with one of Bia's swimsuits, one of Chatty's swimsuits, Chatty's green goggles and a book of Bia's .... all in the front pocket of one of our suitcases from our trip to FL - lovely! Yes I did apologize to Mr. ESPN!

Such a sweet picture of Bia
New haircut and new smile!

The girls love to jump in the pool from the high edge over the water feature (it wasn't turned on - sort of like a waterfall). Trying to catch them mid-jump is difficult

GG has be reunited with her green goggles - no worries we have several other pairs she has been using while these were misplaced by Mom!
