XMAS IS COMING THE ADVENT CALENDARS ARE UP
Well the Advent Calendars were put up at the weekend and both the boys loved opening a door to find a little chocolate goodie inside. They also have a Playmobil calendar which is always so nice to do, opening the little boxes with the toys in each December day to create a lovely Xmas scene. The scene this year when completed will be Father Xmas in a woodland surrounded by birds etc which he is feeding.
Jamie has not however grasped the concept of Advent calendars ie that you open a door every day to find a little chocolate gift right up until Xmas Eve. I know he is confused as we had an interesting morning......Taylor had gone off to school having opened his calendar and Jamie who was still in bed at this point then came down and I let him have his Thomas the Tank calendar and he happily munched into his chocolate treat. About an hour later Jamie was watching Peppa Pig in the lounge and I went to make my beds....it was very quiet downstairs, I should have known it was too quiet. On coming back downstairs I found a very excited little Jamie with a face covered in chocolate he had decided to tear apart Taylor's calendar to discover where the rest of the chocolate was......Bart Simpson picture/doors were no more!!! Bless him he didn't understand but I was a bit worried to say the least as to how Taylor would take the news!!! Grandad came to the rescue however he purchased me another one at the local shop, so all ended well.
Upon thinking about what had happened I realised that I know a few adults that can't leave the chocolates alone once they are opened, so who can blame the little chap.
