My oldest son lost his first tooth last week. Now I don’t really care about Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny, but I want to make absolutely sure that my son believes in the Tooth Fairy. Thursday night he was so excited about the Tooth Fairy coming that he kept getting out of bed. My husband said loud enough for Liam to hear, “Did you hear that? I just heard fairy wings!” You better believe that he jumped into bed and was asleep in five minutes flat!

So the next day I picked Liam up from school as well as his five-year-old cousin. When he told her that the Tooth Fairy came to visit him last night, she bluntly announced to him that the “Tooth Fairy is just his parents, just like Santa and the Easter Bunny”. I argued with her that she thought that just because she hasn’t seen the Tooth Fairy yet. And Liam chimed in to defend me and said,

“Yeah, last night my dad HEARD her!”

(Yes!! He’s totally a believer!)

Dear Toes,

I’m so sorry that you have to be connected to my feet. I know this means that you will constantly be kicked into unsuspecting doors and cabinets. Sometimes I’m a little shocked that you are still connected to my body. I’m sure it must suck to continually be getting hurt, so I promise to always try to pamper you by getting pedicures and making sure you are shiny and pretty, even if you’re black and blue.

Sincerely,

Your pathetic, klutzy owner

We had a pumpkin carving party at a friend’s house yesterday. Every year I dread having to carve a pumpkin. But then once I get into it, I remember how much I love getting elbow deep in pumpkin guts and taking the quiet time to carve out my design. I am not an artist at all, but if I was…pumpkins would definitely be my medium. Forget oil paints and marble sculpting. I’m all about displaying my art on a beautiful orange squash. Oh, and I used my new Scoop Loop from Pampered Chef to dig out the seeds and it worked brilliantly! Happy Monday!
