Christmas Wish List Time

Some people have started asking what the kids would like for Christmas.

The boys are VERY in to the Magic School bus right now. The thing is, they have pretty much ALL of the books and several of the DVDs. If there were age appropriate games I'm sure they would love them.

The boys are also into Franklin. We have most of the books (we have around 20 of them!) they have a couple of DVDs though I am sure there are many more. Again, they would likely enjoy a Franklin game.

You know, age appropriate games in general would be great. We have been spending a great deal of time sitting down together as a family and playing games together, it's been great. A wider variety of games though would certainly be fantastic! We currently have chutes and ladders, a Cars memory game, Craium Cariboo, and Cranium Hullabaloo.

Big C is really in to vehicles. He already owns just about every construction vehicle known to exist though! He would love a little road to drive his cars on. Scholars Choice sells some really neat ones that are designed to be pieced together and are $10 each or currently 3 for $20, though I'm sure there are lots of neat ones out there. The more intricate the roads, the better!!

Bic C is quite taken with emergency vehicles. He loves ambulances a LOT. Something that would be small enough to fit in his hands and very sturdy construction would be a hit. He is still pretty rough on stuff and tends to throw things when he is upset (which when you are 2 is often, sigh).

Monkey is getting really creative, though he needs to work on his fine motor skills. He would love puzzles and toys that would involve building. I think that he is almost old enough for Lego. He is currently using lots of Duplo.

Scholars Choice has a really neat gear toy that I think he would love. (pictured below)
Monkey is still really in to Lightning McQueen. He has most of the cars from the series but would probably love a sheet set, or other room accessories. He currently has the wall stick ons.

These are just a few ideas. Anything durable would be great!!

Christmas Oooh ahhhs

We are getting asked more and more what we would like for Christmas (and those of you who are asking should be ready to tell us what you would like too!!).

Saje would like:



  • A chunky necklace to wear with a sweater, matching earings would be fun too
  • black belt that would go over a sweater
  • hot chocolate machine
  • Body Shop products scented "Satsuma"
  • a bible "Message" version (not King James, not New International)
  • dress wool socks
  • brown dress belt. Something with a nice silver buckle, I have seen nice ones at Mexx.
  • blue tooth headset to use with my Samsung SPH M300 phone (brand new Samsung phone)
  • holder (other than the generic plastic one) for my Blackberry, it is the big one, not the pearl-be creative, as long as it is secure and meant for a Blackberry
Dave would like:

Here is a cut and paste of the previous post about what the boys would like:

Everything to do with the movie Cars.
He is growing out of Thomas.
He loves games,
he loves to read.
He is learning French in school.
He was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween.
He enjoys flashlights
He likes to dress up
he loves to drive stuff around
He likes to play with Play Doh, he would love moulds and stuff


What is Big C all about?
He loves trains, and especially Thomas
He loves contruction vehicles like dump trucks, tractors, diggers, back hoes et all
He loves firetrucks, helicopters, planes and motorcycles
He loves to drive vehicles around on the floor
He likes dinosaurs
They would both love a spout for the tub tap called the flo boon (available at Cheeky Monkey or was it Funky Monkey...the one on Richmond in London)
He is starting to learn his colours
He likes balls
Those are some ideas to start off. We'll update as we think of more.
