Send Money Please!

Drew lost his 1st tooth! For the last few years he has seen friends lose their 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd tooth. He has been eager to lose his teeth too and to be visited by the Tooth Fairy. However, he grew very anxious as his first tooth started to get loose. He didn't want it to hurt or bleed and was even brought to tears at the thought of someone pulling it out. So it was actually a blessing in disguise, when Ian punched him in the face and it fell right out! There were no tears, no anger, just a little pearly white tooth that he spit into his hand. This all took place in the shower, so luckily the tooth didn't go down the drain.
This was the letter that he wrote to the tooth fairy. It reads, "Dear Tooth Fairy, Tonight I lost my first tooth. I lost it in the shower. Ian hit me in the face in the shower and it fell out. Please give me money?" He folded his tooth inside the letter and placed it under his pillow. He was so delighted in the morning when he saw a letter written to him from the tooth fairy, sprinkled with fairy dust, and $5.

Ian also wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy. His letter read, "TOO Fare can you make me lose my tooth? I want money. Ian Summers." The Tooth Fairy left him a letter too, encouraging him to brush his teeth daily, so that he has clean and healthy teeth. She promised him she would return at the loss of his 1st tooth and to not hit his brother!

Pushed to the Limit....

As I was eagerly awaiting my husbands return from church meetings, grilling hamburgers on the grill, & cleaning up the kitchen....Owen was "Painting" the bathroom upstairs!!!
With My Bobbi Brown Makeup!

Just on the top of the lid was a layer of lipstick, another layer of mascara, and a bottom layer of foundation.
It took a whole container of clorox wipes to clean it up. Luckily, Ian helped me and kept saying, "Owen isn't the boss of anyone anymore right mom?"
Besides the fact that my bathroom is a mess, and my make-up is ruined, I am sooo annoyed that the kid didn't use any toilet paper! Seriously, how many times do I need to remind him to actually wipe!
I threw him in the shower while I started cleaning. By the time I got to him, he had put his lovely pink hand prints all over the inside of the shower. Plus, he took the cap off my Redken shampoo and "made bubbles!" I ended up having to use my Clinique make-up remover all over his body several times to get all the mascara and lipstick off. And to top it all off he also ruined his GAP church pants!

How It Breaks Down
Make-up ruined = $250
Clorox Wipes = $4
Clinique Make-up Remover = $15
Gap Pants = $20
Redken Shampoo = $21
My sanity = Priceless

I'm taking it out of his college fund.

Kenny walked in to see what all the commotion was upstairs and all he said was, "You better get the camera!" when I talked to Owen after I cooled down, he kept saying "Sorry mommy. I was just making it pretty! I like you!" I just gave him kisses and told him to NEVER touch mommy's make-up again.
