The livingroom looks like a toy bomb exploded in there. I’m gonna have to go through the boys toys and unload stuff *again* after we figure out what’s going to get played with and what isn’t.
The marble run I got Dan is THE gift of the year. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to glue it together. It’s 88 pieces that don’t snap together (they snugfit) and won’t stand up to Joe “helping” Dan play with it. I didn’t want to glue it together, but Dan doesn’t play with the blocks we’ve got – I can’t see him disassembling and re-building the run. He just likes to watch the marble go around and around.
Alannah absolutely freaked when she opened her stocking and saw the Hilary Duff CD in it. I gave it to her with the solemn oath that if I hear it, I’ll destroy it. She’s got headphones and she KNOWS I dislike Lil Miss Duff. Although I *do* have to say that I like her singing more than her acting.
Joe had more fun playing with the wrapping paper and boxes than the actual gifts 
. He’s fallen in love with the marble run as well. I’m not really sure what other than that is his “favorite” thus far. He’s into a little bit of EVERYTHING.
I’ve got to edit the photos before I put them up. And I’m putting a new digital camera on my wishlist. You wouldn’t believe the number of shots I missed because the camera wasn’t ready for me.
