Gap Boy..Again!

Sam has now lost his third tooth, well not so much lost as daddy assisted extraction. He wiggled it to the point of dropping out and when it wouldn't budge he had M pull it out. This all happened at the bowling alley while waiting for the beaver bowling night to begin. He ran off excitedly to show all his friends his new gap. Despite being told that the tooth fairy was extremely busy and may not be able to manage a hot wheel car but may bring a pound instead he was still bitterly disapointed when he found said pound under his pillow. Our first errand of the day was to wilkinson so he could buy a car!

It has been a jam packed week, starting with a bday party on sunday followed by home ed xmas party and beaver bowling on monday, costco yesterday and the movies today. Tomorrow we are doing more baking and then friday we are meeting up with the boys for our annual xmas get together. By the time tuesday finally comes we are going to be shattered.

Today we went to see Enchanted. I have to confess that I was surprised that he wanted to see it as a) it is disney and b) it involves princesses, I think the clip where the prince stabs a bus and the bus driver tells him off was what sold it. We both really enjoyed the movie, though I did have to explain a lot of the references to older movies like sleeping beauty and cinderella. It was really funny and of course, had a happy ending. A thumbs up from both of us.

Am feeling very pleased with myself because for the first time ever all the present are bought, all the cards are sent and most of the food is organised. All we have left to do is decorate and start the food that can be done ahead of time. We have decided to have goose this year for a change and I am looking forward to the challenge. I have vowed not to do it what I did to the turkey last year, ie turn it to dust. This year it will probably go the other way and be under done! At least this year we have rogue and he will help with any leftovers.
