Mostly just so I can remember these things...
The kids made lists this weekend. Bennett and Maggie put great effort into presentation by typing theirs and adding pictures, clipart and actual item photos. Lydia and Ruth were satisfied with a Post-it note.

I love how they ask for such simple things like jeans and socks. I love that they like to imagine in their play (kitchen, school). I'm thankful they didn't think they needed to list the iPad, iPod, iTouch, i anything. Art supplies and board games!! Maggie was very thoughtful in her requests (doesn't matter, two or three pairs will do, probably wont happen, is preferable). I asked Lydia about her list... she had numbered to 9 but could only think of 4. She struggled briefly over not being able to think of more things. She did say that the Lego Land was NOT the one in Atlanta (Discovery Center). Ruth asked for air freshener. I still haven't figured that one out.
I love my kids and the entertainment they constantly bring into this home.
