A Night at the Circus

We get a lot of free entertainment around here.  Music concerts, dance performances, fashion shows, etc.  On this particular night we were given front row seats to the circus.  The girls practiced all afternoon.  The show didn't disappoint.  The movement was so quick that I missed pictures of the juggling, gymnastics and the fire breathing.  I did get these amazing moments.

Here is the ring-master making the introductions.

In this photo Taylor is not only balancing on the bucket, she's balancing something on her head!  Oh, the skill!

The show ended with an original song from Emma Mae.

It was definitely a night to remember.

Tooth Fairy Surprise

I hope that the next few days bring a marathon of blogging.  Since being pregnant, I haven't wanted to do anything.  I'm serious.  I've become very lazy.  I'm  17 weeks along now and I'm feeling a little better.  Not great, but well enough to work one day a week and I'm forcing myself to do some things around the house.  Anyway...I've got a lot to catch up on.

Sometime in the beginning of March Taylor lost another tooth.  I was gone for the evening so Will got the girls ready for bed.  I got home and this was what I found.

An arrow pointing the tooth fairy in the right direction.  If you didn't know, fairies like shiny things.  That explains the pile of coins and jewelry.

This was just in case the tooth fairy couldn't remember who's house she was at.

 

The tooth fairy can have a very busy night.  The girls thought she may need to lie down for a bit to rest.  It turns out they were right because when they woke up in the morning fairy dust was found on the blanket!

 

I have to admit that I'm glad I wasn't home that night.  When it comes to bedtime, my patience grows very thin.  I think I would have stifled some of their creativity.  I would have missed their excitement the next morning when finding that the tooth fairy appreciated their efforts.
