Tonight the WKU bookstore did a promotion where if you donate a new or gently used book, you get 30% off of your purchase. I've been an employee for almost 3 years and still don't have a hoodie, so after talking with the kids about how it would be nice to help out children who don't have as many books as we do, we chose a few and headed over to campus. The holiday openhouse also included face-painting (Koa got a turtle and a butterfly - he's secure in his manhood, while Kalei got a cat in a Santa hat that said Meowy Christmas and a snowflake), story time, and a visit with Big Red (Koa actually went with Kalei and gave him a high five, which is a big step if you remember his Build-A-Bear experience).
We grabbed Little Cesear's on the way home, and during dinner Kalei lost a tooth! We stuck it in a baggie, and the Tooth Fairy needs to remember to leave her something special. (The last tooth Kalei lost, he kind of forgot to make the swap and she was a little disappointed upon waking, so we had her go to the bathroom while we frantically searched for something to exchange. Unfortunately we had no cash in the house at the time, so I grabbed a Chinese dollar and slipped it under her pillow just in time ... we played it off by telling her that the Tooth Fairy had to travel all the way from China, and that's why it wasn't there when she woke up. Kalei is pretty proud of her Chinese dollar, but I'm not sure how many times that trick will work!).

How funny! Glad Koa is a secure young man :) and Ilima is still waiting for a tooth to fall out! she'll be so jealous when she meets Kalei.
