ugh- Robin- done shopping already!! we at least know what we want to get everyone- but been buying a little at a time because whenever we end up buying something something else comes out that we wish we would have gotten for that person instead!
Christopher wants a terrain twister. trying to teach him the value of big gifts (he's 11) "if it's a big $$ you'll only get a couple of presents, but you can get lots of smaller ones" and he says he doesn't care- as long as he gets the terrain twister (remote control car that can go on snow, grass, everything) and a PS2 controller he'll be happy. so we'll definitely get that and a few other things- lava lamp that he looks at every time we go to Walmart, some slippers (he wears mine constantly!), the Elf movie and a few other little things probably. my Dad asked if he liked robotics and stuff because they saw an expensive hydraulic and gears thing- that you make your own robot or car or whatever- has a few ideas with it, but my dad said it would be the only present for Christopher too- more than they usually spend he said. But Christopher IS the first "grandkid" even if it is by marriage...
He's making coffee mugs for everyone- you know the ones you color the papers inside, and then we'll fill it with candies, so far so good on that one. and he has asked me what I wanted for Christmas. he's a good kid. (I said a bath pillow and some mr bubbles) we usually get Dad (Chris) tools but Christopher's already said he wants to get him Riddick the movie with vin diesel.
Another busy week at work- but at least it keeps me from munching!
Have a great week everyone!
