This year the boys couldn't decide for sure what it was that they wanted. At first they talked about pooling their CF gifts and getting a video game. This idea didn't last long however. Finally it was settled. They would ask, again, for money to buy their own things. (This is actually the Candy Fairy's favourite choice as she is pretty lazy you understand.)
Fergus has been collecting his weekly allowance and coupled that savings with the $20.00 from the CF and was able to buy himself a Mini XPV. Quinn bought himself a cool looking Bionicle that he has been coveting for a long time. Both are gloriously happy and I managed to capture some of their excitement (with Fergus' gift anyway) outside today.
I also managed to spend some time standing on the stool outside of our house waving a broom in my hands. It seems that when you fly a remote control plane into a tree, no amount of revving the engine will untangle it from the snare of branches that trap it. At the end of the day it was a long garden stake that poked and prodded the little plane out of the tree.

Whew, glad the plane is OK.
This is too cool. Ben and I were reading and looking at the pictures this morning. When I read what Fergus bought, I had to look at the pictures to guess what that meant. I said aloud, "oh, Fergus got a remote control car." Ben shook his head and said, "No, Mom; it's a plane." In surprise I said, "They sell remote control planes?" Ben just looked at me with that special look kids have for their mothers when they can't believe how incredibly uncool we are. Sigh.
