My mom is awesome

Have I ever told you how awesome my mom is?
 
Last week Eliza lost her tooth on the way to Grandma's house. 

She worried about whether the tooth fairy would find her in Grandma's basement.  Luckily, the tooth fairy did, and she left three quarters.  (Which was quite a disappointment after the previous tooth's crisp dollar bill.)  By the time we had to leave, the three quarters were MIA.  We left with a crying six year old in tow.

Today I got an email for Eliza from Grandma:


Dear Eliza,

Guess what?  I found your missing quarters.  I was so surprised!

I went to mend some clothes and when I sat at my sewing machine to lift up the pressure foot and put in the fabric, guess what I discovered?  3 neatly stacked quarters under the pressure foot and a broken needle (that had apparently tried to sew through them). 

I never would have thought to look for them there, but there they were!  I put them in your Mom's maid bag for you when you come again.

Love ya, the toothless one!

Grandma

PS--Are you the one who hid the little mouse in the fridge?  Ha!  That was another surprise I discovered after you left!
