First lost tooth

One morning about a month ago, Mindy told said "Mom, I have a loose tooth!" I find myself saying "You're too little to _____" so often! Mindy is growing like a weed and I just can't stop it. I just cannot believe how fast they grow. This year she will be starting school too.
On February 1st I asked Mindy if her tooth was getting any looser and she opened her mouth and her tooth was completely flat on her gums. When I told her we needed to get a string and pull that tooth out she balled!! I myself was such a chicken when it can to pulling teeth so I had some sympathy there! We tried a few times with a string and it just kept sliding off. So, I grabbed it with a dry wash rag and it came right out without her even knowing! She was so proud and SOOOO excited to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy! Sure enough the tooth fairy came (and Mindy said she had a dream that night that her tooth fairy was pink with purple wings) and she left her a dollar! She is one lucky girl!

Valentines Day 2012

The girls got a package from Granny on the 8th. It had a Pinkalicious Valentines Day book, candy, and some winter hats and gloves for each of the girls! They loved it all! Then on the 10th we got a special package from Aunt Judy---Strawberries!!! They were so big and yummy! Such a fun and delicious treat!

On Valentines Day we had a tea party with red juice, scones, and sugar cookies. Its always fun to dress up and party together! Later we had a yummy dinner then played toy story Yahtzee. When the girls went to bed we laughed and stayed up late playing Settlers of Catan with Judson.

Mia is going to be 1 on Saturday and I cannot believe it!
