We have had our first visit from the Tooth fairy. Ellie has had a VERY wiggly tooth for a while now and Daddy decided enough was enough. He helped Ellie floss that tooth right out. Ellie was a little nervous but did very well as Daddy tied the knot around her tooth. He started by just wiggling it a little and next thing we knew it popped right out. We tried to get her excited about the Tooth fairy but she just kept saying she didn't want her to come in the house. So Daddy told Ellie that when he was a little boy he would leave his tooth in a cup on the windowsill and the Tooth fairy would get his tooth through the window and leave his surprise there. Ellie thought that sounded pretty good so she dropped her tooth in the cup and went to bed. The next morning she was very excited to see if the Tooth fairy had indeed come. She ran to the windowsill and was not disappointed when she found a silver dollar. We let her know that the Tooth fairy always bring something super special for the first tooth that you lose. She was so excited she wanted to take it to school to show her teacher. It was a lot of fun and she can't wait for the rest of her teeth to come out. She said she might even let the Tooth fairy come inside for her next tooth. Anyway, here is a picture of our newly toothless girl.
Now then on to the critter. I have been noticing lately that there has been something in my cupboards. I couldn't say for certain what it was because I had not actually seen it. But I had a pretty good guess. I had to try to figure out someway to catch whatever it was. Well yesterday I finally saw it. It even cooperated enough for me to get a picture. I had to be quiet so I could get a picture of the critter caught in the act. Brace yourself.....
Are you sure you're ready?
Really sure?
Alrighty, Here we go......
That's right. It's a critter of the human kind. This little turkey has been pulling all of the stuff out of my cupboards. He's been pretty stealth about it though. He wouldn't be gone for long. Just a couple of minutes here or there. It was usually while I was in my room or helping Paden and Ellie. Anyway, if I have to have critters in my cupboards I think this is best kind to have. After all, what other kind of critter looks so cute after it is caught?
