Veterans Day

Good Luck!

Gross

Do not try this at home.

The Tooth Fairy

We put the tooth in a safe-keep organza bag...

and put it into the Tooth Fairy Pillow.

Here it waited to be picked up...

where she came...

leaving behind fairy dust.

Upon awakening...

he questioned, if in fact, a fairy with wings did indeed fly into his room in the middle of the night leaving behind some fairy dust.

(kind of creepy if you think about it and at this point I questioned my judgment as a parent)

But then wait...

the Tooth Fairy left a five dollar bill. 

I think he's okay with it now.

First Tooth

It came out this morning while cuddled in bed watching a movie on a cold rainy day. I can't think of a better or more perfect time for his first tooth to have come out.

Someone is very excited about the tooth fairy.

So Wrong

Kindergarten Room Mom

Yep, that's me. I am 1 of 2 lead room moms for Jake's kindergarten class. An opportunity I could NOT wait to get myself into and yet I have been thinking a lot lately of that saying...what is it... "Be careful what you wish for."

I had no idea it was so detailed. It is seriously A JOB. Although, in a weird twist my regular transcription job has been very slow and I've been able to give this other "job" most of my attention.

School started August 24th and their biggest fund raiser is, of course, a Halloween carnival. Each class is assigned a game-booth and guess who is in charge of putting that booth together? Yep, you guessed it - room moms, not to mention a class Halloween party. Since the end of summer we have sent out numerous emails, flyers, and notices. We have made phone calls to collect money, gather information, and ask for volunteers.

We put together our class booth -

For the class Halloween Party we made personal gift bags for all the children and their siblings -

We planned activities like -
Pin the nose on the pumpkin
Magic Scratch Pumpkins
Pumpkin Sticker Face
Cupcake Decorating
Monster Hands


We even put together a make-shift photo area so they could be silly and pose for pictures

This was my run-through at home

and guess who missed it ALL because he got sick...
