Tooth Fairy

So, here is another great story from a day in the life of a mother!

My little man Kimball is only 5 and the poor kid has already lost 6 teeth - 4 of which were lost because of a little injury to the mouth while playing a game with cousins! Well, this year in Kindergarten all the children seem to be loosing teeth. And with the loss of teeth comes the tooth fairy RIGHT?! Well, Kimball loves the tooth fairy because in the past he got some serious cash for loosing all those front teeth (I felt sorry for him since it was all trauma to the mouth). So, anyway, he lost his first official tooth a couple months ago - a bottom one. Then, yesterday at school he lost the other bottom tooth. Tonight he started crying because when he got into bed he noticed that his tooth was not there - it was missing and there was no money!! He was crying so hard and was so worried. If it's not there the tooth fairy won't come and then I won't get money and I am saving up to buy a star wars lego thing and ..... oh man he was so upset. I just made a split decision -- I was just going to tell him not to worry because I am the tooth fairy and it will be ok. So, I started by saying, "I am going to tell you something that you have to promise you will not tell Whitney or any other child in the whole world. You must keep this an absolute secret and never ever tell what I am about to tell you. Only dad - you can tell dad but that is it! Pinky Promise!" He said, "Ok I promise and we did the little pinky promise! I said, "I am the toothfairy!" He without hesitation of any kind just smiled and said, "NO you AREN'T!" I said yeah, honey I am. He said, no mom you aren't! Then he just looked at me - stared at me for a long time with the cutest little smile on his face. He just was smiling at me - trying to look through me or make me confess that ok I am not the tooth fairy I just want to help you...... oh but I couldn't hold in my laughter! I was just laughing and said, "honey why don't you think I am the tooth fairy? You don't think I can put money under your pillow?" He said, "Mom, tooth fairies and really tiny and your HUGE!"

Ha! Crack me up! I could not convince him that it was me - so I dropped it. He just smiled and shook his head like you are crazy mom -- you could never be the tooth fairy - good try!

Immediately I thought - I have to write this down! This just made my day! Kimball one day we are going to love reading this story! You are such a cute kid! So awesome! I love ya!

Embarassing Moments

So, I had a pretty funny embarassing moment last week! I was on the phone back in my bedroom and the kids were out jumping on our new trampoline! One of the kids comes to me in my bedroom and says, "mom, someone is here to see you and it's a POLICEMAN!" I couldn't believe it. I didn't know why so I kept my sister - in- law on the phone and said, "Hi!" To the police officer. He said, "Hi. Someone called 911 from this number?" I said goodbye to my sister in law on the phone and was just shocked --- "ummm. No, I have been on this phone talking for a while now. Ummm.... was it this phone or my cell phone?"
Then he looked up and saw Kimball standing in the kitchen with blood dripping out his nose and down his shirt and shorts. The police officer said, "well, what's wrong with him?"
I came around closer to the kitchen and saw Kimball --- oh shoot! I said, "I don't know. Kimball what happened?" Kimball said, "I don't know," shrugged his shoulders and grabbed more tissue off the kitchen counter. The buzzer on my oven was beeping -- because I had been making chocolate chip cookies and I was still thinking who in the world called 911. So, here I am just dumbfounded wondering looking and finally I just said, "ok, let me get the cookies out of the oven." So, I did that. Then umm.... let me account for all of my kids and just make sure they are all here...... yep all accounted for. "Ok, well sir, I am not sure what happened here but would you like a chocolate chip cookie." Then the door opened again and there was another cop. "Hi! How are you!" He says to me, "Wow it smells good in here!" So the first policeman says, "What took you so long?" They exchanged a little conversation. I told them I was sorry for wasting their time and I didn't know what the problem was. I offered cookies again and they just said no thanks - I was like how can you turn down homemade cookies? They said well, we really aren't suppose to. Ha ha ha! I was thinking -- WISE choice guys -- I looked like a wacko I am sure - my kids are scattered all over - one is bleeding and I am back in my room oblivious to what is happening in my kitchen - I arrive to a beeping oven, a policeman and a little boy with a bloody nose, little Tori was just checkin the whole thing out while she sat lazily on the couch drinkin a bottle and Collin was still out laughing and jumping on the trampoline. So, this guy is thinking this woman - beat her kid - he called 911 and now the mom is acting stupid - like "oh I have no idea what happened - why officer would you like a poisioned cookie? It's all just a big plot to get you both here for death by cookies of Betty Homemaker!!! HAHAHA!!

They left and I laughed out loud! Ok guys what happen to Kimball and who the heck called 911!

Funny stuff!
