Tooth Fairy to the Rescue

So I am going to share some stories today about Pumpkin. See she is like me in tons of ways. I tend to be overly dramatic, I have been that way since I was little. Pumpkin is just like this. I love her but sometimes it gets to be a little much. I am sure my parents felt the same way about me.
So she turned 6 in August, shortly after that she lost her first tooth. There was all sorts of drama that came with that. In the end my husband was the brave soul to pull the tooth (at this point it was barely hanging on). This came with tears, even more so after she realized it bleeds after the tooth is out. It was amusing to say the least. The following week we relived the whole ordeal when she lost the second tooth.
Well for the last week she has had a loose tooth. We thought for sure she was waiting to loose the tooth at school so she could get a special necklace. It did not happen. Today I asked to see the tooth (wasn't really sure it would even still be there). Well this thing was laying flat facing me without her touching it. You could see the new tooth coming in. I tried to trick her into having it fall out while eating but that did not work, she sort of fought it.
My ever amazing husband had her come over so he could "look" at it. His plan was to sneak and yank, the second his fingers went on both sides of the tooth she panicked, screaming, and he had not even pulled the tooth yet. She is crying it hurts, we both don't see it because really there was nothing keeping it in her mouth (she has been eating around it). We managed to get it out, but not without drama. So the tooth fairy will be coming to visit tonight. All said and done she is minus one tooth tonight and will even admit she acted crazy over nothing.

Family Pictures

Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Christmas Crack?

Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu

I Survived

So a couple of months ago on Facebook I had a message from someone I went to middle school/high school with. We hung in the same circle of friends. We however we never really that close, always keeping each other at arms length. I can say she was more of my "bully" than friend. In this message she told me she was sorry. She realizes that her actions and words were harmful to me. She told me that what she did and said all those years ago were not the actions of a Christian that she thought she was. I cried, why, probably because it was the first time in over 15 years someone said they were sorry and meant it. I'm not perfect, I would be crazy to say I was. I come with battle scars. How I view myself is a result of YEARS of being bullied. I don't think I have even talked about how much it still effects my everyday life with my amazing husband. My self esteem is lacking, I have never felt pretty, I think I will always feel fat. This is damage that was done over YEARS of
