Hi Love- I saw you post about the tree house and I love the idea!  I might get one for Luke for his 3rd birthday- we have cars and trucks coming out our EARS! I feel like my guys get jipped out of a *doll house* b/c we have no girls!

Hi there!

I know, it is one of my many ideas, but I am still not sold on it. I am scared it will just sit there like 99% of the toys I buy. I am on a hunt for some good ideas for 3 year olds and can't come up with anything! I also have criteria that it can't be a billion little pcs bc they just wind up scattered all over the place and it becomes junk like everything else. That eliminates most toys! lol

Any ideas?

It seems like the only toys the boys play with these days are their cars/trucks/anything with wheels!

The treehouse is so cute though. I wish I could test it out, first!

Btw, here are some other things I am thinking of:

I think they might like this bc they can stack them (like blocks) and/or make stores out of them for when they play cars:

Another thing they can play with when they play cars or ride their firetrucks around the house:

This also looks fun (but is a lot of pcs, so I'd have to keep it separate from other toys so it doesn't wind up scattered)

And also this (but it is also a ton of pieces)

Holy cow! You have a list of things there! I HATE all the little pieces everywhere but now that Owen is into the little legos...

You know what my guys LOVE is their tent- we have a small tent that we set up inside or out and they LOVE it. I love it b/c I can take it down and put it away. We have fake logs for a *fire* and sleping bags.

They have a tent at my parents house...but maybe I should get them one for here, too.

I want to get them a train table, but I am SURE they would just take the pieces and throw them everywhere. I never understand how people with train tables have kids who don't do that!

Oh we have had a train table for 4 years and just NOW are the boys getting into it. I have to buy all new train stuff b/c I have no idea where all the track when. When we get more track I will glue it down and together with gorilla glue...so there are no melts downs about baby godzilla (Mr. Lucas) thrashing the tracks!!

I know...I wish they would sell a train table with the train tracks glued down. Why has this not been done yet!!??
