Metro Car Wash with Hailey

Last Saturday Hailey went with me to run a few errands, and she sometimes will ride with me in the front seat since the airbag can be turned off. This is one of those large, automated car washes, and you stay in the car. As we were getting ready to go through the car wash, Hailey put her hand out on the center console and said "Dad, I think we need to hold hands as we do this..." so of course I agreed. After we were 90% through it, she pulled her hand away and said, "ok, I'm not scared anymore" - she's funny. - Jason

London - Student of the Week... and Corduroy

London came home from school Friday so excited! She was elected 'Student Of The Week'! As student of the week, the student takes home 'Corduroy' the bear. They also get Corduroy's bag, a book on Corduroy they must read, and a Corduroy book they create. Each student takes photos of him/her with Corduroy during the week, attaches them to the book and they write a synopsis of what they did with Corduroy. So London took Corduroy to McCall for the Winter Carnival. We also went sledding! See video BELOW....

The Tooth Fairy Tales

We were all at the cabin this weekend, and London lost one of her front teeth on Thursday, February 5 - the day before we went to McCall, ID.  On Friday night, we went to bed very late, and London put her tooth in a bag under her pillow (which I didn't realize).  So she wakes up Saturday morning.... and the tooth is still in the bag.  She went on and on about how the tooth fairy probably couldn't find her because she wasn't in her bed, in her house.  She was nervous that the tooth fairy might be lost in the woods.  I assured her the tooth fairy would come.... eventually.

Well later in the day, we ate at the McCall Brewery Restauraunt.  There is a pool table and a few games that London wanted to play, but I told her all I had was a $20 bill, I did not have $1's.  

So Saturday night, London put her tooth under her pillow, and sure enough the tooth fairy delivered $1 for her tooth.  She was excited when she woke up.  I was sleeping downstairs with them and her and Hailey kept going on and on about the tooth fairy.  London told Hailey she felt sorry for her friend Hannah in 1st Grade (at Paramount Elementary).  According to Hannah in London's class, the tooth fairy is just made up, and that parents just put the money under the pillows.... bah hum bug ey?  London also stated that there was no way it could have been me or mom because all dad had was a $20, and I didn't have $1 bills in my wallet, which I thought was cute.  

Hailey was also so sweet.  She asked me how much I got from the tooth fairy when I was a little boy, and I told her a quarter, or coins, and that I never received dollars.  She said as soon as we get home, she was going to get a $1 bill out of her piggy bank and give it to me since I never had one when I was little.  What a sweetie
