It's Monday, which means, it's my first day back to full time employment. I'm praying that I can handle this week! DJ is going to be going to work early and coming home late because TU plays a home game on Thursday. At this point, I'm still debating even going to the game, because that means a babysitter and a late night for me. On the bright side, it means that he could be home Saturday, which would be amazing!
Because we lost our game over the weekend, TU is not bowl eligible this year. It's bittersweet. I hate it for the coaches and players, but i'm also grateful because that means we have three more weeks of football and our December and Christmas can be "normal" for us this year. I am so, so ready to have DJ home!
Here's a few pics from last week:
I absolutely love that I have an embroidery machine. I found this cute little dress at Old Navy. It's pink and orange stripe, and then I found leggings that are orange with pink stripe. I bought it for Addy Pearl, and then monogrammed an "A" on the top of the dress.
DJ made it home last Wednesday night before the girls went to bed and we watched a little bit of the CMA's together as a family. At one point, he had all the girls and they were happy, so we had to get a picture.
On Thursday, I made the girls wear their matching apron skirts and shirts that I made them, although getting a picture of the two of them both smiling and looking at the camera is next to impossible. Especially when they're figuring out which pumpkin to sit on. (Gretchen's idea.)
Thursday night I came home and slipped on my pj's and this Ball State shirt. I thought to myself, that it was a good thing I wore this Thursday night, because it would've been bad to pack it for the wives trip over the weekend. Little did I know that BSU was also playing Thursday night. They're having a spectacular season.
Addy fell asleep on the floor one night, and Megan went over, lifted her head and put a pillow underneath, and then covered her up with a blanket. It was so sweet.
I picked the girls up from school on Thursday and we headed to Target. We got home and I sent Gretchen upstairs to clean her room when she yelled, "Mom, there's something wrong with my mouth!" I could tell that she was a little freaked out, so I had her come downstairs so I could see. Admittedly, I sometimes brush off her little concerns, but I could tell in her voice, that something was wrong. She came downstairs and I noticed that she was bleeding, so I took a look in her mouth and lo and behold, her tooth was missing!
When I told her she squealed with excitement and we went upstairs to look for the missing tooth. We couldn't find it. As I was looking for her tooth, she pulled her tooth box down from her chest of drawers and said that we could put her tooth in it until it was time for bed and time to put her tooth in her tooth fairy pillow. At that time, I had to explain the tooth was missing, and wouldn't be able to go in her pillow and she began to cry. I assured her that the tooth fairy would still come and visit her that night. She asked how I knew, and I just explained that the tooth fairy was magic and she just knew.
We were all shocked that the tooth went missing because we didn't even know it was loose. I had just checked her teeth a few weeks ago, and there was no wiggle to any of them. Later that night we learned that she had hit her mouth on the monkey bars at school, so I'm guessing that the monkey bars knocked her tooth loose and when we got home it finally fell out. My best guess is that she swallowed her tooth. She said that she felt that her tooth was crooked, and then I think that's when she yelled for me.
I remember loosing my first tooth and my dad pulling it at our kitchen table. I think it fell on the floor and I was scared to death. My mom has it video taped and it was such a tragic event for me. I'm kind of sad that we didn't get to experience the wiggle of the tooth or trying to pull it out, but I'm also glad that it was an easy experience, and she has a mouth full of baby teeth that will eventually fall out.
My mom also has my first tooth taped in my baby book, and i'm sad that I won't have Gretchen's first tooth.
That night, she wrote a letter to the tooth fairy, and went straight to bed.
She was just so excited!
Here she is pretending to sleep.
About 45 minutes after going to bed, she came downstairs and was disappointed that the tooth fairy hadn't visited. I told her she hadn't been asleep long enough.
I was totally unprepared for her to be loosing a tooth, so I had to call our neighbor, whose daughter is the same age as Gretchen and had just lost her first tooth a few weeks ago. Thankfully, she had sparkle hair spray to spray on the money, to make it look like fairy dust. I really wanted to sprinkle glitter around, but I didn't have any, and none of our neighbors did either. I also wanted to print out a little tooth certificate from Pinterest, but our printer was out of ink. I was totally unprepared.
Around 11:15 that night, Gretchen woke up and discovered that the tooth fairy had left her money and had written her a letter back.
Friday, was Gretchen's Veteran's day parade at school. She wore her 4th of July dress that I made her, and her 4th of July chunky necklace and a red hair bow.
She made the flag picture a few weeks ago.
Thank you to all of the veterans that have served our country. My father in law, my sister, and her husband, my grandfather….. thank you to every single one of you that has risked their life in order for our country to maintain it's freedom.
I hope you all have a blessed day!
