He saw on a kid's show that the tooth fairy comes and "leaves a prize". I told Kiddo that she would leave him some money and he said, "and what else?" ugh. Darn cartoons!
They are growing up so fast.
Kiddo starts school in a month. 1 month! 4 weeks and a few days. I just can't stand the thought of it. We ventured out on Saturday night and bought all of his schools supplies. It was surprisingly easy to find everything, but I think it's because I was ahead of the game. I also got him a back pack and a lunch bag with a thermos and food container. He wanted Iron Man for everything, but thankfully I talked him into a generic looking green back pack (his favorite color). Hopefully he can carry that for a couple of years before it wears out. The lunch bag and gear was PRICEY. Holy crap. He better like it, that's for sure.
I thought about just buying the pre-assembled school supply pack from Walgreens, but when I saw the price ($47.99!!!) I about had a heart attack. Buying everything he needed separately cost me about half of that price. I couldn't believe it. That is such a rip off!
Otherwise, everything is still pretty stressful, but I am trying not to dwell on any of it. My dad's surgery went well, we think, and he is home resting now. Mom's is being postponed for a couple of weeks until Dad is feeling better. I finally made it through a bunch of the business stuff, and now it's just a matter of tying up some loose ends to get back on top of things, then I have to finalize all my new stuff for the restructure. Oh yes, and I need to study for my test. A lot.
And if I think too much about it, the list gets longer and longer and longer...
As of this afternoon the Kiddo has a second loose tooth. Guess the toothfairy needs to do some work so she has money to pay for these teeth popping out! Anybody need a beautiful portrait??? lol!
D :)

I went to the bank and got Michael some of the new little gold coin dollars when his first teeth fell out. He still has them.
I had made a little card for him from the Tooth Fairy and at first he was so knocked out by that. But not even a year later he said, "You made that, huh, Mom?" *sheepish grin* He's so smart. But he still loves his gold dollar coins.
Also, regarding the cukes... PICKLES! Hot pickles with banana peppers.
I wish I could afford for you to do some portraits of Michael and I. I would love to have some really great ones. But whenever I do have extra money for that kind of thing, I'm calling you first!
Internet love to Kiddo and congrats on the first toof!
Wow! Two loose teeth!
I hear ya on the month left. We did the school supply shopping thing today ... it's just now hitting me how soon it's all happening and how huge a change this all is.
