Technically, I ordered Evan's Spiderman scooter 2 nights before yesterday but the other day a message from Amazon came to say that there was a problem with my credit card.

Apparently I used the old one, so I corrected it that night and saw that the scooter hasn't been shipped yet. I availed of the free shipping which says could take from 5-9 days. So I was very surprised when we came home after a lunch out with a college friend to find this big box waiting in the hallway with my name on it. Business in Amazon must be slow.

Assembly (which I always dread) took only 20 minutes. It could have been way less if I haven't had to keep hunting down the washer pieces. The unsuspecting Evan is still napping. But I will probably wait for his daddy to arrive before giving him the no-occasion-that-we-could-think-of-except-that-boys-should-have-scooters-when-it's-summer present. Can't wait.
