Does the tooth fairy like to play hide and seek?

We took the kids to go see the movie Tooth Fairy. (Cute family movie by the way.)
On the way home, Damian pulled out a tooth. In our home we have a tooth fairy pillow that has a pocket to place your tooth. We leave the pillow on the kitchen island so the tooth fairy doesn't have to go upstairs. Well, we came home and the pillow was retrieved and placed on the counter as it is suppose to be. I got busy making dinner and cookies for Aubrey's Valentine's party not realizing that the pillow had been removed. The next morning as I was making lunches, I remembered that the tooth fairy was suppose to have come that night and now I could't find the pillow. I frantically searched because I knew Damian would be up soon and would be looking for the pillow. After no success of locating it, I decided to ask Damian if the tooth fairy had come. He replied he didn't know because he couldn't find the pillow. Aubrey overheard our conversation and quietly and innocently walked away to peek around the corner. I asked her if she took the pillow. She replied, "Yes, I wanted to see if the tooth fairy could still find it." I said you go get it right now. She went over to the living room loveseat, pulled back the couch pillow and said, "Just what I thought, the tooth is still there." It wasn't even her tooth and she had to hide the pillow.
I guess the tooth fairy doesn't like to play hide and seek.

Who says white girls can't dance?

Steven was listening to his music and Aubrey started dancing. She didn't know I was video taping her until the end when I talked to her. Sorry for the jumpy video at times, I was laughing so hard. And after she was done she promptly had an asthma attack.

I'm exhausted!!!!

This completes my 2nd week at working outside of the home again and I am exhausted. I started working in the medical office where my husband works. So this is a new thing for me too. I've never taken vitals signs on anyone before this last Tuesday. Also, we put our house on the market here in Yuma this week and had 2 showings in 1 day. So bewteen the house selling, learning a new job, and juggling my role as a mother.....I can't wait to sleep in past 5 AM tomorrow. I pray no children get sick in the night. :)
