I’m beginning to wonder how I’m ever going to get our kids back into their regular routine.
They slept until 7:05 am this morning–that’s got to be a record!
I’ve been gritting my teeth a little bit to let them play free without fussing about the noise, the thumping and crashing, the constant light saber humming, and the endless computer voice of “I AM OPTIMUS PRIME.” I mean, it’s our own fault. We bought the toys. And clearly they’re loving them.
But let me just tell you…I mentioned yesterday that we love those Schleich toys. And we do. But when I said “practically indestructible” (just ask our lawn mower!), what I should have said is “they’re heavy and solid and sure to bruise (and possibly concuss) someone when hurled from short distances.” All I can really say is thank goodness for bicycle helmets!
We’ve built legos, gone on safari, held jousting tournaments across the coffee table, shot bears, and wolves, and bad guys, and raced cross-country in a Hess truck. And it’s only Tuesday morning.
But today we’re tackling the toy store for a return. (Word to the wise–Disney Princess 18 inch doll clothes do NOT fit 18 inch American Girl dolls. And I’m seriously put out about it. If you’re in the market, Target’s 18 inch and Walmart’s 18 inch DO.)
Oh pray for me! {grin}
