Our Simple Life

Christmas presents

I already know basically what we're getting the children for Christmas. A few weeks ago I started shopping because it's easier financially to spend a little each weekend than all at once in December. I hope to be done near the beginning of December.

M(our seven yr old daughter) is getting a rock polisher (she's always had a thing for collecting pebbles, rocks, and stones and this year mentioned she'd like a polisher); Season 1 of the Brady Bunch on DVD (It has 27 episodes! I got it at Target for $19.99!); a remote control car (identical to the one that J is also getting except a different color), and a gold cross necklace. I am still debating about what to get as the last one or two gifts. I don't want to buy anything that will be cast aside quickly after receiving.

J (our almost four yr old son) is getting the remote control car I mentioned above; a Buzz Lightyear; two new 24 piece puzzles, and an addition to his wooden train set (I'm thinking about maybe a roundhouse or a tunnel of some sort). Again, the last one or two things are still undecided.

Together their getting a new pogo stick that has a large base which makes it eaisier to stay on.

J's birthday is Christmas Eve but normally we celebrate it the weekend before. This year the Saturday before is only two days before so we're doing it on the previous one which is the fifteenth. For his birthday gifts from us he's getting a soccer goal (LOVES soccer but he's never used a goal ) and a Hot Wheels tractor trailer "car carrier". (So cute! I may even have to play with that one a little ;)

New ideas

At the park the other afternoon, J ended up playing football with some boys and Oh My Goodness! he had such a good time! So, a new football for Christmas, it is!

And M is getting two nightgowns. I forgot about that one when I blogged the other night.
