The tooth fairy likes us and other weekend events

The tooth fairy has now been to our house twice in just a few short weeks. She will be here tonight even though we had a close call. Hannah lost her second tooth on the bottom row while playing outside. I brought the tooth inside and placed in on the counter. When we came inside from playing, the tooth was gone! After a small panic attack, a barage of questions from Hannah about how the tooth fairy would feel if there was no tooth, and some mommy and daddy detective work, the tooth was found and the world could be at peace again!

Earlier in the weekend, the Robbins family went to the fall festival at Hickory Flat Elementary. Our friend Dana had invited us and we were happy to go. We spent just a couple of hours at the school jumping on inflatables, buying raffle tickets, getting tattoos, and riding the hay ride (we went on the red tractor because we were warned about the green one). We were apparently pretty lucky.....for our friend. She won the "boys rule" basket, which included a wii, a bike and all sorts of fun boy toys. We were like celebrities walking out with the bike and wii because everyone knew what it was. It was a fun little afternoon excursion.

Just a few hours earlier, Hannah, Hayden and I were getting ready to go out for the day. I had bathed the kids in the morning, fed them breakfast, got them dressed and hopped into the van. All this by 8 o'clock in the morning......Only problem was, I completely forgot that Hannah had a soccer game that began at 8. Seriously, we have been going to her games for 6 weeks now - every Saturday morning at 8. I do not know what happened....anyway, we made it to the game by half-time and Hannah finished out the game with her team. Then, we went shopping. Both of my children have had major growth spurts in the last few months. Hannah could fit into none of her jeans, so we went to Kohls, spent too much money and left with a few new things to wear now that the weather is turning cool.

Saturday night, Bunky watched the Buckeyes beat the Badgers (even though it was close), and mommy hung out with some girl friends (all pregnant I might add), ......but I stayed away from what they were drinking. It was nice catching up with the girls and laughing with Bonnie, Dana and Lisa (contarctions and all).

Wow - this is a long blog....but that is what happens when I only update once a week. This week, we are expecting a visit from our old neighbors and mommy celebrates her 33rd birthday. And....in just 13 days...DiSnEy WoRlD
