Here’s our Saturday morning in pictures….

Sleeping Beauty

Neither sleeping nor beautiful….this is wide awake, mad, and sick

still sleeping, even after I kiss her cheek and say, “Gracie?  Are you ready to wakey wakey?”  (yes, I still say babyishly idiotic things like that to her and I will until she leaves for college and I might not stop then…she is my baby)

Then, I said “Gracie – don’t you want to check under your pillow?”  Her eyes flew open and a grin spread across her face.  In all honestly, this is NOT how she wakes up every morning.  Most mornings, I pull her kicking and screaming from under the covers – she is not a morning person, this girl…..

but this morning, she’s excited…..this morning holds the promise of……

MONEY!

and there it reason, the reason for the excitement…the reason for the money….that little gap in her sweet smile….her second lost tooth 

 

The empty pillow

And because she is her mama’s daughter, Gracie wanted to go shopping right then with her Tooth Fairy money.  By the end of the day, she’d spent it all…..on Girl Scout Cookies

The End!
