Merry Christmas!

Ugh, we need to do toy triage for the kids.  They got so much stuff.  Gonna have to store some of it in the basement for now and gradually work it into the rotation.  Also need to dump a bunch of the old toys. 

Wish it was like the old days when you got fewer toys but they held up a lot better.

As for me, I got the bluetoof' speakers I wanted, plus a few books, Amazon gift cards, and beer.

Got the wife a new GPS which is way better than mine

Steal hers.

Are you kidding?  A lot of the early 80s toys we got broke almost on contact.  I'm surprised how durable some of my kinds toys are.

I agree though - the boys got so much stuff we have to start purging their old ones.

80's toys. 

In my day, toys were made out of METAL and cut you. We were strong like bull back then.

Uh, no.  You Canucks must've only had access to the cheaper stuff.  A lot of my toys have lasted long enough to be absorbed into Tommy's collection.  Die-cast Star Destroyer FTW.

Problem with us is that we have to do it when the kids aren't around or they'll throw a fit over giving up a toy they haven't wanted to play with for 11 months   And even then it seems like we barely made a dent in it.

Michael had Toy overload. He was in a pile of stuff just standing there. I asked him what was wrong and he told me he didn't know what to play with next.

15 minutes later, he had his m-16 out gunning everybody down. I regret giving him that noisy thing now.

Tommy got 4 lego sets and was determined to put them all together before he went to bed last night.  I let him stay up as long as he wanted, just to see how far he'd get.  He got two and a half done, and was getting frustrated trying to put the Lego City rescue helicopter together half asleep towards the end.  Finally gave up at 11:15pm & crashed on the couch.

CB and I haven't exchanged gifts yet; we'll do that New Year's Day.

Why?

By this time next year, he'll have a Henry kids rifle too.

Why?

We're in Michigan right now and we're going to drive back to Florida with CB's dogs.  Since we don't have a lot of space we decided to exchange presents after we got back to Florida.

[Scipio]

Got my new seersucker suit.

Engaged in wardrobe purge.

So you had previously left her dogs in Michigan or something?
