1st lost tooth

Last week, Madisen lost her first tooth. This produced both much excitement and much sadness in our household. Madisen couldn't be more proud. She shows EVERYONE she meets and cannot quit talking about it.
Saige couldn't be more sad. "I wanted to lose a tooth today too! IT'S NOT FAIR"!
I have heard the phrase, it's not fair, more times this week than I have in my entire life combined.
She is right though, being a twin isn't fair. They have to share a birthday, a room, toys, books, clothes, friends, etc. However, they are still individuals and I am afraid the first lost tooth is only the beginning. We have many 'it's not fair' days ahead. Another day like this is coming soon because Madi is going to loose her 2nd tooth before Saige looses a first. She has another one that is barely hanging on!
But, we are excited for Madi. I can't believe how much older it makes her look-SO SAD! The tooth fairy came and I have to tell you that she was a bit disappointed. There must be a wide variety of tooth fairies out there because although she got a dollar, (much more than I got as a kid-inflation!) she informed me that her friend got $5 and a pack of gum.
Thanks alot Laurel!

Pulley

The girls came running in today and told me they had made a pulley.

Pretty fun-except for the ladybug inside the bucket that has to be pulled up and down all day!
