I love the ages and stages our kids are in now. Abigail was happy with clothes and shoes. And I was happy to recycle Sarah's old kitchen set that she got for Christmas of 1999. It's been in our attic, awaiting the day to be re-gifted. Just buy some new "food" and dishes, clean it up a bit, and there you have it! Christmas for the El Cheapos (that's Neal and I, in case you wondered).
I also love that Sarah likes the Beatles. Good girl.
I love giving my kids their favorite "sometimes only" foods in their stockings. Their favorite sugared cereal, pop-farts, glass bottles of Coke (that one is an "always no-no" in my Mom's opinion), cheetos, and as you can see by the picture, easy-mac for Kate. She was very happy. El Cheapo's strike again!In my stocking, Neal gave me a whole box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies, some Chex Mix, a snickers bar, and some caramel cashew trail mix from Target. Along with some movie tickets and a gift card for clothes shopping with Sarah. And, about 15 extra pounds of Natalie to love on. Neal gets better at gifting every year!
I love Abby's gigantic feet. Literally seconds after she was born, Neal said, "Holy Cow! Look at her feet!" They were folded up along her shins, and her toes almost touched her knees. They are still gigantic and disproportionate.
I love having my husband home for a few days of relaxation and laughter. I wonder if he's been getting bored. The new Star Wars figurines have been found in interesting situations. The girls will start saying, "Hey! Where's my Asoka figure? Where's Captain Rex?" Then they'll find them, doing who knows what. Maybe I should have bought a few for Neal.
I want a candy hot tub.
That was a very wise man to bring a light saber along on his journey.*coming soon* The burning cross in my neighborhood. . .

I love your stocking idea. I'm totally doing that next year.
Sarah is a good girl. Ask her if I can have her Beatles shirt. I want one, am I too old to wear one now? Also, I want that Coke in glass bottles. It always tastes better in glass bottles.
You're DJ's kind of "gifter". He would love to regift our toys. The problem is our kids are so spread out that we always have one playing with everything.Maybe if I have a straggler baby in a couple of years. Last, Neal is funny!!
Freak w/the price of those play kitchens I need to have another kid just so I can justify the price of it by regifting it to another child.
I like Neal! That is funny, especially the getting kinky in the chocolate. I think that is a hint to you actually. Drizzled Chocoate...mmmm
Remember the GI joe hat and Troll doll wig that always wound up on Mom's Christus statue? How's that for sacriligeous?
Regifted in a splendid idea indeed. Maybe I can pull out Castle Greyskull in a few years and give it to Liam for Christmas. Excellent.
I bet the Wise men did carry light sabres.
LOVE the light saber. Oooh, and the candy hot tub. Do you think we can put that request in when we do the book club weekend at the coast?
