The Tooth Fairy

Jeff's office had a candy buy-back program this past Monday from 5-7 pm where they bought Halloween candy from children in order to send it to the troops. Each pound fetched a dollar plus a goodie bag that had a free meal at McDonalds, Sponge Bob Square Pants toothpaste and other goodies. Jeff's whole office dressed up for the event....Jeff as Brutus the Buckeye and Elise showed up as the tooth fairy. Surprisingly the tooth fairy was in a wonderful mood even though she had to skip her afternoon nap for a flu shot.... a double bummer! Elise loved her tutu- something that a friend made for her. Aunt Amy hooked her up with her sparkly wand which created a problem when I took it away from her for the car ride home. She didn't understand that eating tinsel may not be a wise idea! The event was a big success and daddy will probably plan to make it a yearly tradition. Elise would have traded in her four pieces of trick-or-treat candy but it wouldn't have fetched more than a penny or two-- plus mommy had already eaten it!
