Toys, toys, toys!

So for the last two weeks or so, Jaxon has been asking me to take him to the store to buy a toy.  And of course my response to him is "how will you pay for this toy, because I am not."

And then Jaxon replies to me like this, "I will get the money from Maren (who is his 2 year old  friend) or Aunt Dim (Kim)."
Me: "Well I think that if Maren had her own money, she would buy herself a toy and you can't always get aunt Dim to buy you things and how would you get the money from her she lives in Canada."
Jaxon: "Well it's coming in the mail."

This conversation would happen more than I would have cared to have had it.  But he was still adamant that this is how he would get his toy.

Then at lunch the other day, when I was in the cupboard getting out a glass, Jaxon all of a sudden stopped and said "Mum, my money for a toy!"

I was like "What?  You mean this tin (it's a Christmas tin that holds what I thought was all of our Canadian change), you can go ahead and look at it."

So I proceeded to let him look at the tin thinking and saying to him that there wasn't any money in there that he could use to buy a toy because it was all Canadian change... But it wasn't just Canadian change in there, there actually was $7 worth of American change in that tin and let me tell you Jaxon so was excited, because he could finally get his toy.  I mean I couldn't say no after he counted it (with his dad's help of course) and separated it, and I guess for a 2 year old 'worked" really hard for it.

counting the change with his dad

so excited with all of his change divided up, I'm sure the cashier at the store really loved us!

and this is what he chose a Spiderman and Doctor Doom figurine 

So Jaxon's week was made and he played with those two figurines nonstop!  I guess he doesn't need anything for his birthday now:)

And this has been Risa's week

wearing boy's pajamas, because it got too hot here to wear her pajamas and I didn't have any girl ones:)
(please don't mind the background I was cleaning the house)

getting ready for lunch dates (this one is for Aunt Dim, thanks for the dress!)

and throwing tantrums

Yup that about sums up her week!

And well Bob has officially finished classes!!!!  Wahoo! Now it is just clinic left for this guy, it's so exciting we are nearing the end and we can almost see the finish line!
