Tooth Fairy

Well last week we had a visit from the tooth fairy. #1's tooth has been quite wiggly for some time. She would only wiggle with her tongue.She wouldn't touch it or let anyone else. We knew it was coming to the end of its life span when the tooth behind it was coming in rapidly. Well at exactly 3:40 am (yes the middle of the night people) she woke me to tell me her tooth had fallen out. NO blood, NO pain...yea for her.

But the questions are how in the world did she not swallow it and why was she playing in the middle of the night with it?

At that time of day/night/delirium I was lucky to form thoughts and words. I told her the tooth fairy would not be coming she had already passed our house and that if she went back to sleep she could call her mimis and papas in the (later) am. PS I don't think she went back to sleep because at 6:15 she hopped right out of bed. I held her off until 7 o'clock ish to start calling people.

She was so excited to go to sleep that night with her tooth in her tooth pillow on her nightstand (shhh don't tell her its traditionally supposed to go under her pillow). She bounded down the stairs the next morning with 4 quarters. She thought that was a great deal too (4 for 1)!
{If you haven't read this book its definitely one worth reading "Gone with the Wand" by Margie Palantini. Its a tooth fairy take on fairy-dom. }

Speaking to her today I said I was glad she didn't have another wiggly tooth, but ya know what she does and the one behind it is catching up fast too. I joked that maybe the tooth fairy may have to hitch a ride in Santa's sleigh.

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
