Football and one less tooth

Football, Super Bowl weekend and ending with one less tooth this morning had a very different story behind it in our 20's than it does today.  (Those who know us well - already could tell the 20's story, so I'll just tell you today's story.)

Shaun's (and Coach Matt's) Bronco's Flag Football team is officially the only undefeated team left in their division with 2 games left in the season.  They beat the only other undefeated team on Saturday, 12-0!  Ending their self proclaimed 26 game winning streak. The boys played so well as a team on defense, and never gave up on offense.  It was fun to watch!

Of course the Super Bowl was Sunday as well and we had our annual family party.  Not the party of our college days, but we enjoy teaching the small children in the family how to gamble on random squares and useless football game trivia.  They did pretty well to with both Shaun and Ainsley getting squares money at least one quarter each.  Shaun hosted some trivia contests and then talked the winners out of their candy prizes throughout the night.  We all had yummy food that everyone contributed and the 3 lonely Giants fans were happy with the outcome.  And the rest of us had fun, but weren't too concerned with the winner either way.  We are so lucky to have such great family here locally to share these fun times with!

Shaun had a rude awakening this morning when we let him know we had to go to the dentist and get his tooth "checked out".  We knew they were pulling it, but due to his intense fear of all things dentist related, we decided to hold back that detail until after it was done.  He managed like a trooper once doped up on the liquid sedation and while he hated the swollen, numbing sensation after, once it wore off he was fine.  The only bad side effect is that the kid couldn't eat until about 1pm today and for Shaun that is FOREVER.  And he pretty much hasn't stopped eating since then yet! 

Alas, as I was tucking him in he reminded me that at least the tooth fairy would be coming to reward him for his work at being tough today.  oh, yeah...I'm sure the tooth fairy will remember that Shaun.  She is always on top of those kinds of things.  (Yikes!? - I sure hope she has some cash somewhere around the tooth fairy lair!)
