So Santa has come and gone this year. I bought almost everything online because I’m a working Prego Mother of 2.5 with very little time and energy. Q’s big gift from Santa was Barbie Roller Skates. Thanks Amazon. I couldn’t find pads/wrist guards online that were appropriate. So the one thing that was purchased from a brick and mortar store was pads/wrist guards…actually it was Dick’s Sporting Goods to be exact. Q opens them up and tries to put them on. She’s 5. Of course she will need grown-up help. I look at them and they are labeled “Left” and “Right” and “Elbow”… but where’s the knee pads? The package had 3 Left elbow pads, 1 Right elbow pad and a Left and Right Wrist Guard. Dicks Sucks… so Tootie is skating throughout the house but no outside time till I deal with “da Mall” on Thursday.
So I had recently posted on how I needed creative ideas for my Nephews since my Sister-In-Law who I truly do love didn’t give me any ideas. Well, she came through and I got ordered just in time 2 DVDs and a CD. I am not going to question my nephew’s taste in music because Lou found my Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam tape as well as Debbie.. I mean Debra.. Gibson from my adolescence. Christmas Eve we exchange presents and what does my 3 yr old get from her??? Diego Animal Caller and Diego 5-in-1 Talking Utility Tool. I’m guessing this was a pay back for the Light Sabers from years ago. I have to admit it was pretty cool because her 12 yr old had to be told to give it back to Four.
And than there was the “Muddy Toy” that a certain co-worker gave Four for xmas. Crayola Sudsy Mudsy Foaming Mud Soap is a tub of dirt that you dig out with a scoop and you add water to and make mud soap. I find it rather amusing and so did the kids. I can now say that it’s not dirt in my tub after bath time but mud soap. For extra fun, if you drop a lump of it in the tub it looks like your kid Poop’d in the tub. The husband’s sister’s kid is having a birthday in a few weeks. Guess what the kid is getting????
