My toothless wonders

Aubrie and Boston have been complaining about loose teeth for about a month now. Boston got to a point where he would say, "Can you just come in my room at midnight, while I'm sleeping,and pull it out for me!" Of course, we didn't do that. I was wishing they would just fall out so I didn't have to hear the complaining any longer. While they were anxiously waiting for their teeth to fall out, Ethan was biting on a lego Tuesday and it got stuck on his tooth. He pried it off and in the process loosened one of his bottom front teeth. So here I am with 3 kids complaining about sore teeth. It soon became a race to see whose tooth would fall out first. They were even more anxious since this week they have been gathering their money and trying to figure out how to buy the Lego Harry Potter video game. (They even went as far as to spread out all the new sand we got for the yard, without even being asked. They were hoping for payment! hee hee)
Yesterday morning Ethan comes running down the hall yelling, "my tooth fell out, my tooth fell out!" He was brushing his teeth and in the process he lost his tooth. The kids were all excited knowing that would be more money for the Harry Potter fund! (This was Ethan's first tooth loss, so it was big time excitement!)

Later that day Aubrie disappeared for a bit in my Mom's bathroom. I told her to meet us in the pool. When she came out she came straight to me and said "I love you Mom", and flashed me a huge toothless smile. Aubrie thought it was so cool that they both lost their tooth on the same day. She then reminded me that even though she knows the Tooth Fairy isn't real, I still had to pay her because Ethan would get suspicious.
Today while Ben and I were out, we get a text from the babysitter that Boston wanted us to know his tooth came out. I'm beginning to get a bit suspicious here. Are my kids pulling their teeth for Harry Potter? LOL Here are my toothless wonders!
