Tooth Fairy Story & Barn Update

Colten lost a tooth yesterday after wiggling it a lot and was so excited he had to call me and tell me about. Last night, we dutifully put his tooth under his pillow and the tooth fairy came and gave him 4 quarters. In the middle of the night, John heard Colten say "My Tooth!" so he checked on him and he was sound asleep with a quarter stuck to his face! Guess the tooth fairy needs to start leaving paper money :)

I'm still planning on taking the kids to go see Rena tomorrow. She's still not sure if she'll be working or not since they have 8 jobs lined up for whenever the weather cooperates. So last night in an effort to keep Rena from having to work (she can work all she wants next week :) ) the kids did a high wind and waves dance. Guess we'll see if it worked or not:


Ashlyn's team won their last game so they ended up in first place in their age group with a 3-1-1 record. Ashlyn did really good again (for her) and is now excited to play JR High basketball next year (7th grade - yikes!).

John's still working on getting the barn closed up little by little. Thought I'd post a pic of his progress:
