I'm getting excited about Christmas!
Random, I know. But just felt like posting it.
I feel like we've got the kids some stuff that they really want. Like really truly want (not buying just to buy, basically) and I can't wait for Christmas morning. They are going to be so excited!

Re: I'm getting excited about Christmas!
He's so hard!
I got him the JLX stunt motorcycle, Razor Bogo Pogo, Trashies garbage truck/tin can (think: Squinkies but for disgusting boys! LOL). That's what we have so far. The other items I am going to get:
otterbox cover for his iPod Touch, angry birds card game and puzzle, knee/elbow pads (for the Pogo stick), possibly a new helmet for that as well, exploderz gun (it's like a paintball gun but with water balls (softer and less mess). I'm actually getting him two of those so he has a second one for whoever he is battling against.
some of the maybe items (depending on what we do/don't get above):
Razor electric scooter, Nintendo DSi XL (but I think Joe is pretty much against this), new earbuds.
And that's all I got!
Joseys - he IS at a great age! So fun! It does get better and better each year. I love the ages my two are at this year....young enough to still believe/be in awe and old enough to give (real) input on what they would like and still be so psyched when they get it!
LOL! My dad always teases me that I want everything to look/feel like a Norman Rockwell painting. Hey, what can I say, I'm a dreamer!
DS wants Trashies too! And he loves Angry Birds too. I got him one of those animal hats with an Angry Bird on it.
Elise - what do you have on his list so far? Any additional ideas for Joey?
Auntie had suggested a magazine subscription and I think I am going to do that. She linked to a dirt bike one (I need to go to 'my posts' and find it again) but I think he would enjoy that. Other than that, and what's listed, I'm at a loss.
Joe, of course, has some ideas. John Deere diecasts, a new diecast log truck, etc. But he has SO many of those (even though he really does love them and uses them more than anything else he has) and they are like $50-100 each. I like to use those as a last resort.
DS is really into Lego Ninjago, so I got him the new DVD, the game, and a few of the books. We are getting a Wii, so that and Mario Kart is his "big" gift. I also got him an Angry Bird seatshirt and hat; some Pokemon books; a DS game; a "make your own comic book" kit; a "Magic Science" kit; and a Dagedar racetrack. I am thinking about getting him the Mario Kart building set, but will probably give it to MIL as an idea if she asks.
DS is really into Beyblades, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Star Wars and Ninjago -- Joey might like some of that stuff. His favorite gift from his birthday a couple months ago were the games "Battleship" and Monopoly Electronic Banking.
DS gets the "Ranger Rick" magazine and really likes it. The librarian at his school said that most of the boys like non-fiction stuff at the 1-3 grade-level, but it's hard to find non-fiction books at their reading level. Magazines are good non-fiction.
