Christmas Countdown Calendar or Fantasy Football Scoreboard?

We have this snowman sitting on a table in our entry telling us how many days are left until Christmas, or so Corbin thinks. To Caleb, it is his "fantasy" football scoreboard. Every day he comes home from preschool, walks by the snowman and says, "Hey, the score wasn't 2 to 1 [if it is Dec. 4th], it was 0 to 9 and we won." He is the QB for the Boise State Broncos every day at recess, and they have a pretty good winning streak. Corbin gets home from school after Caleb, walks past the snowman and says, " SWEET! There are only 9 days until Christmas!" The next morning he passes the snowman again on his way out the door to school (by this time I have fixed the number to reflect the true countdown), and he confusedly comments, "Hey, wait, yesterday there were only 9 days and today there are 20!" This comedy routine goes back and forth day after day. It is rather amusing.

That is really cute. I can just hear Caleb's little cute voice talking about.

Caleb will really miss his scoreboard after Christmas. Hopefully Santa will think to bring him another one that can be used year round. And in the off season, Corbin can be counting down till his birthday. Cute guys you've got there!
