Keepin' the Tooth-Fairy Hopping!

Benny has all four of his front teeth out right now. He is having great fun with this big hole in his pie-hole. He can stick a straw thru, his tongue out of it, and it is adding lots of fun to our phonics lessons, as he tries to pronounce the blends and digraphs correctly.
Add in Jeremiah who is missing at least four teeth right now, and Nate who has lost a few teeth, most recently last night at dinner, and our bum Tooth-Fairy is forgetting many quarters for many children. You think the TF could remember something as easy as replacing a tooth with a quarter, but many times those little teeth stay under the pillows, patiently waiting exchange, for half a week.
I don't know who assigns which Tooth Fairy to which town, but I should complain. Ours just doens't seem up to the challenge of our tooth loosing family! In this day, I am sure there are lots of fairies who are looking for work and could take her place.

Maybe she was busy at our house ;-) Ethan's lost 5 teeth in the last month! Or maybe she's on strike since she didn't get her overtime pay for working at your house. That's a lot of missing teeth under one roof!

What a cute picture, you should make a downstairs pillow that way she could just do it all at once and it's hard for her to forget with a big pillow down stairs maybe one of the crafty boys could make a chart with pockets for every1 of the kids, if there is a tooth that needs to be traded it goes in there with a red bookmark reminder to the toothfairy that she needs to stop by or something like that, at least it'll give the kids something to do on a cold yucky day inside.
