Tooth Fairy Visits

Tooth number 9 and tooth number 10 are no longer in the mouth of the MyMy. Number 9 came out on our way home from the LuLu's basketball game. Under the pillow it went, waiting ever so patiently to enter the Tooth-Fairy Kingdom. Apparently it did, because in its place was the amount of $2.00 in coinage.

The MyMy, so pleased, left another note under her pillow the following night saying thank-you and asking for a picture. Well, to the MyMy's dismay, the note went unread and no picture was left. The MyMy sought solace and comfort from the parents since the Tooth-Fairy had inadvertently dished her. The wise and quick thinking father, asked if the MyMy had yelled out her request in the dark, open air, announcing her letter, in which she replied, no.



That night, the note was once again placed under the pillow. An invitation was announced, outside on the porch, for the Tooth-Fairy to come enter the slumbering house, and, leave a picture, of course. No request given to the Tooth-Fairy is impossible! At least, not for this Tooth-Fairy. She, or, should I say He, one will never know, came through with flying colors! (Whew!)



The picture was taken to school. It was shown to the class along with the bright, happy smile on the MyMy's face. The teacher and the students were in awe. The Tooth-Fairy has revealed herself, ever so slightly! Some however, were skeptical, but not to those who truly believe.


Earlier that morning, when the MyMy was eating a bowl of Apple Dapples, tooth number 10 exited the mouth of the MyMy, eagerly set to go and join its friends in the Tooth-Fairy Kingdom. Which meant, another visit from the Tooth-Fairy, another $2.00, another happy and believing girl.


Priceless!

Love Fest

Love has been in the air this weekend at the Voss home. The day started with personalized messages from Derrick on the sidewalk and car, and heart-shaped waffles, pink milk, and a decorated table from Me.



Attention then turned to our yard for some tender loving care. It was a beautiful day in our neighborhood. Blue, sunny skies, weather without wind, around 70 degrees, absolutely perfect. We actually skipped chores for awhile to go on a long and leisurely bike ride. It was fun! A lot of love was given to our yard, and it is looking better. (I can't wait until our landscaping is completely finished.)

Landscaping was cut short due to the MyMy needing some good ole maternal and paternal loving. The MyMy was sweeping out her playhouse when she decided to go down the slide with the broom and the two collided. The broom came out alright, but the MyMy ended up with a swollen, black eye that needed one stitch. Our dear sweet neighbor gave some loving service and stitched the MyMy up at his office.



Today, we are making heart-shaped sugar cookies to give away to those we love and appreciate in our neck of the woods. Our hearts go out to those who don't live close by and please know that we love you too.



Happy Valentines Day!

Rainy Weekends

We have had a wet and rainy weekend. I know that to most of you this isn't a big deal. To us, however, the weather rarely changes so rain to us is a big deal. In fact, at school many of the grades graph the weather. Looking at their graphs show that we have had no snow, 2 days of rain, 5 days of wind and the rest have been sunny. We have been in school now for more than a 100 hundred days, so you can see that the weather hardly changes.

So, this was the perfect weekend to make a big pot of soup, corn-bread muffins and finish some much needed projects around the house. Everyone pitched in to clean the house in the morning. Thanks guys! Then the girls filled their afternoons with friends, Derrick did paperwork, and I hand-sewed several ripped items and watched girly girl movies that were showing on tv.



It was the first Saturday, in a long row of Saturday's, where we had nothing scheduled. Rain, soup, projects, and family time......Perfect!
