Bribery from the Tooth Fairy

Silence or whispering is never a good sign when you have a 6 and an 8 year old. It usually means trouble!

I could hear lowered voices on Thursday evening and I wondered what was occurring upstairs.

Me: What are you up to?

Minxy: Nothing. Everything is fine mum.

Jamster: Shhhhh! (Followed by a slurping noise)

Minxy to Jamster: *Whispering* Just do it!

Me: You aren't trying to pull Jamster's tooth out are you?

Jamster: It doesn't hurt mum. I really need the cash.

I'm fairly certain the tooth fairy doesn't leave £50 notes under pillows so I can't imagine he needs the £1 that desperately !!

When it did finally fall out on Friday, at school in the playground, his letter to the tooth fairy made me chuckle too...

"Please can I have a Skylanders Bee Giants and money"

He had obviously wanted to pull his tooth out to see if the tooth fairy would bring him both money and a new Skylander Giant... cheeky, but wise that one!

The tooth fairy replied (she is wise and cunning also it would appear) and left a £1....

Perhaps a little bribery from the tooth fairy will stop the fuss he makes each morning and evening in the bath room when it comes to cleaning his teeth!?

Skylanders... A new character

Jamster is a big Skylanders fan (you can read about that here) although we all tend to get involved and play the game too at times, even us grown ups! When we heard about the Tots100 competition to create a new character we were excited to join in. An opportunity to receive and review products from the range was really appealing to all of us as a family and the chance to get crafty too in the process.

Meet BladeBot

This is Jamsters design which is a robot featuring spinning blade hands that apparently 'Pow people into infinity and beyond. He has muscles and is the strongest ever.' Watch out world!

Meet Eel-a-tron
This is my little creation! An eel that slides and glides around and uses electric bolts to attack. He is slimy and  can spin at rapid speed to dig and escape when captured. As you can tell art isn't my strong point!

What powers would you have as a Skylander and what would you name your character?
