I am not sure what E's favorites are yet. She still has some things in packages, but that is generally how she does this. She will play with things for a day or more then move onto the next. Right now I would say the doll house was a good investment because she is trying out all of her old toys (including things like her airplanes) in the doll house along with her new purple dragons and Rapunzel Barbie.
Kelly I hope your household is feeling well soon. It's the pits when it's one thing after another like that.
Megan, how are you feeling now? Is today any better?
today is a bit better - but i have lots of groin pain when walking around. spent most of the day in bed, if it is still like this tomorrow i will go in to be seen.
had adelaide come pick up clara and take her to her house for the day, and while she was here i had her gather everything together for my delivery/hospital bags - so that is ready just in case. mentally i feel better having that done, tho i do not plan to have this kid till the end of january!!!!
This Christmas was great. Last Christmas I bought way too much and a lot of the stuff were duds as far as them liking them.
They liked EVERYthing this year and play with it all. Their faves:
Gavin: Devastator (thank goodness, he talked about it for weeks and watched videos and looked at toy books), Owen's batmobile, bakugans, RC transformer car
we went out early with the kids. we hopped the bus and went downtown (I had to pick up pictures). we had coffee (and hot chocolate at Starbucks) and looked at the fancy windows.
Mark LOVES everything he got but he told me that he liked his Batman, his Batman cars (die-cast metal cars with Batman logos somewhere on them), and his remote control monster truck. He also loves all of his new dress-up clothes--Optimus Prime x 2, a red Power Ranger, doctor scrubs, Mario, a knight. He likes his Tag reader but especially so because my sil got him the Spiderman book.
Right now, Mark is asking me to take him shopping because he wants a Batcave. I told him he could use his money to buy one although I think he only has $20. :crossingfingers: for a great sale on those.
Henry's favorite gift BY FAR is Zoo Tycoon. (It's my favorite too.) Santa brought Wii Sports Resort, and it is still in the package. Santa could have saved that money.
Both kids really liked the bean bag toss game. I'm so glad because Santa "made" the board and the bean bags, and it was essentially free.
Henry and Mark also both liked their color-changing Hot Wheels. They played with them in the bath night before last.
Kelly - sorry the girls are sick. Any update on R's ear? B has had about 5 or 6 ear infections since his tubes have fallen out sometimes one of his ears will pop and drain but it has always just been that small hole where the tube was that busts open from the pressure not his actual ear drum. He has just been put on ear drops and the antibiotic when that happens. kup.

Poor girl. I hope the meds kick in and clear things up-and I hope they have a good healthy stretch after this! I tell you, this winter is not.good.
Fingers crossed you get some good rest tonight, Kelly.
