Loose Tooth

Maddie has her first loose tooth.  She has wiggled and wiggled it and Thursday it fell out while she was eating her lunch in the car.  We were delighted.  We put the tooth in a baggie and saved it for the tooth fairy.



Thursday evenings Samantha has play practice so my wonderful Elizabeth puts the kids to bed.  Friday morning Maddie came in for scripture study and then realized that she had forgotten to look under her pillow.  Mom had forgotten too.  She was so disappointed when she lifted her pillow and there was nothing there.  Come to find out she had forgotten to put her tooth under her pillow.  The tooth fairy had another chance. 

John Derek then told her that it is a good idea to say a prayer that the tooth fairy will come because sometimes the tooth fairy forgets.  That brought each of my children telling their tails of forgetful tooth fairies.  Our tooth fairy really needs to get on the ball.  Maddie immediately went and put her tooth under her pillow.

Saturday morning Maddie came in very disappointed.  The tooth fairy had forgotten again.  (How could the tooth fairy be so careless?)  But an amazing thing happened.  Her tooth had fallen behind her bed in her sleep so while she was distracted I went and found the tooth under her bed and magically the coins appeared!!!  What a surprise when she checked under her pillow again, (knowing mom had retrieved the baggie for her) and there was her coins. 

Maybe by Michael the tooth fairy assigned to our family will have this exchange figured out.

Appoligize

Today I would like to appoligize for a recent post.  A few days ago I posted "Is it worth it?"  I know that this post caused some of my loved ones to worry.  I am sorry, that was not my intent.  I use my blog as a journal many times and there is a fine line I have to walk occasionally.  I do have battles with depression.  I have been diagnosed with PMDD which is a depression that is linked to my monthly cycle.  I do treat it but as with most of our trials some moments are harder than others. I do have complete faith and trust in my Heavenly Father and know that He is guiding me in the way I should go.  Thank you to my family for loving and caring for me.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P...

My Daughter/Compliments From Up Above

Sunday I took a walk with the kids up to the park.  Elizabeth started to complain about how hard things are because we have such a big family and how if we wouldn't have had as many children as we do things would be so much easier for her.  I remember feeling the same way when I was her age. I said a silent prayer for the right words to say.  We talked about how the person who makes her the most happy is Michael.  She loves to be with him.  The first person she wants to see in the morning is him, when she gets home from school he is the first to get a hug.  She is really good at taking care of him and helping him with his needs.  She is such a nurturer and will make a fantastic mom.  If anyone needs a good babysitter I highly recommend her. As we talked her heart was touched.  I love it when as a mother you can reach into your child's soul and help sooth a trouble.  I was grateful for that experience. The Infinite Atonement (...

Laundry Day

John Derek, Maddie, and I took a brief walk to the park for my morning exercise.  We played for a few minutes.  I pushed them on the swings and then they went on a "treasure hunt" for seed pods.  Oh the simple joys of children.  They found such delight finding a pod all by themselves. After coming home I said no TV and that today I was focusing on doing laundry and that they needed to go outside to play.  Well they did not want to go outside but instead wanted to "help me."  So Maddie pushed the wet clothes into the dryer and JD emptied the lint catcher.   I then said I needed to go upstairs to get more laundry.  They both disappeared (to avoid work I am sure.)  When I got upstairs Maddie was loading laundry into a laundry basket and JD was trying with all his might to pull the laundry bag out of the laundry cart.  It was so sweet of them.  We loaded 2 baskets.  I brought one down with the laundry bag and in a...
