Stang your neice would probably love the Fisher Price My First Dollhouse. Aubrey just now stopped playing with hers and she's 4.......she's had it since she was almost 2. No I take that back, I think she's still playing with it. lol
Janet thanks for the suggestions. I was eyeing that raceway toy.........only for Evan instead of Brandon, awful but I put them both into the same age category......Evan acts about 2 not 5 yrs (will be jan) I wanted to do the bat cave........but then I have to find one for Alex to replace the one I bought him 2 yrs ago (which he desperately wants and I haven't been able to find the darn thing..........and yes I'd like to slap the snot out of katie for leaving behind all those toys, I understand why but still ) I may get the raceway for both Brandon and Evan. I'm sure they'd both like it.
Ok I went shopping today so here is what I have so far:
2 batman figures (Alex)
Cars Drawing kit (Evan) 5 bucks at the dollar store! huge kit should keep him busy lol
Barbie with several outfits included (Kayla) also dollar store and 10 bucks
La Baby baby doll (kayla) beautiful doll
baby bottles/feeding set (kayla)
All the stocking stuffers are bought. I got candy canes filled with chocolate candy, Santa books of candy (did this for all 7 as I do it each year), candy gold coins, packs of santa pencils, santa erasers, packs of card games with santa on them, cute erasers found at wallmart that look like cars and trucks for the boys and ice cream ect for kayla, some more santa do dads........little things they can play with that were cheap. lol
Still have tons to do yet. I did see some truck sets for the boys.......all of them except Brandon (still too little) that are reasonable. I may start hunting for kayla a little tyke's dollhouse that is enormous........large enough for barbies and furniture (my girls had it)...on ebay cuz Nichole saw it listed for 20 bucks. I can hold it here for her.........
I am going to make the kids each something this year as well. Aubrey is getting a crocheted character off a video game called SackBoy. (no clue.....Nichole showed me the picture and I'm making the darn thing, it's coming out really cute lol) and each of them are getting matching hats, scarfs, and mittens........maybe a sweater each if I have time, but we'll see. I want to do those no sew blankets for Katie's kids.......mostly because Evan and Alex are blanket addicted and maybe this way I can slip them clean ones as the ones they're dragging around now are disgustingly gross. Any one know where I can get instructions for these blankets? I am NOT buying a kit for 20 bucks just to see how to cut it and tie the stupid knots. lol
Adults are getting crocheted pot holders and dish cloths. The guys........who knows. lol I'm rather fond of cheap wallets.
I might feel adventurous and knit them scarfs too.
I've decided on a project this year...............I think I'm going to get my girls involved. I want to bake xmas cookies for the MRDD halfway house across the alley.
D*mn. Give me kids to provide xmas for and no school to distract me and I go a bit xmas nuts. lmao
Ho Ho Ho!
