Well, We wanted to get Jack a computer type thingy for ho ho this year and I had the hardest time deciding what there is sooo much out there.
1. At first I wanted to get the V.Smile Baby Infant Development System but I thought it might be too babyish and not grow with him enough. Then my sis read me some reviews online and not many ppl thought it kept their child's attention.
2. I had also found the Fisher Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad which I really really liked but wasn't sure it was the one. The reviews were great. What I love about it is that it will protect your computer when they click that on they can only get to the internet site that the character matches up with and cannot accidently click out or click and delete any of your files.
3. So then I saw the Little Leaps™ Grow-with-Me Learning System / Multilingual which I liked but again it didn't have great reviews. The age group started from 9 mos to 3yrs. Thought that was a bit broad and we should have started him on it younger. I know I'm picky!!!
4. Then I found the ClickStart™ My First Computer it had really good reviews and I liked this one alot but it seemed a bit too old for him so we decided to wait until his 2nd birthday for this one.
So what did we decide??? I thought it through and decided to get the Easy Link Internet Launch Pad (#2) because jack already likes playing on our computer which is why we wanted to get something and most of the others work on the tv. If he liked it we were going to get a second one for grandma and grandpa's computer. Well I was at target when I finally picked which one and it was on sale so I got the Easy Link there fpr 23.99. Well the flyer for Toys R Us this week was showing a sale price of 19.99 well I was disappointed but didn't think it was worth $4 dollars to return the one and get the new one. Then my sister said she had a $5 off coupon for that toy so I decided to go and save 9 dollars it was worth it. Well when I got to Toys R Us the toy rang up 14.99 and then i used my coupon so I got it for $10!!!! So I got a second coupon from Rosie and got the second one at the $10 price so I got 2 for much less than 1 a regular price!!! I hope he likes it :)

Happy Holidays everyone!!! We've been elfed....Click on the photo to see our little dance. Enjoy!
I am sooo in love with my bow maker and my glue gun!!! Here is another picture of a present I wrapped this season.
Geezz when you have a baby all their stuff just takes over your house!!! We have a bunch of duplicates too since I had on for my house and one for mom's house. We have 2 highchairs, 2 exersaucers, 2 swings, etc. etc. I've had the highchairs and bouncy seat and bassinet wrapped up in plastic garbage bags in the garage. But these things are just ackward and in the way no matter what. Along with those items we had the exersaucers and swing assembled and just sitting out there getting dirty and taking up SOOOOO much room. We wanted to get a big cardboard box that would hold a bunch of the stuff and we were going to order some online. My parents had a UHaul Wardrobe box and we tried that and it worked pretty darn good we were able to get 1 highchair the bouncy seat the bath tub seat 2 baby slings/carriers and 1 baby carrier back pack with wheels into one box!!! So we purchased 3 more wardrobe boxes from Uhaul and packed up everything. We disassembled the baby swing and got it in there with the other swing we no longer have baby stuff everywhere in the garage. We used the boxes to make a wall to the laundry area. I'm really excited how things worked out. Behind the boxes is dh's tools and work area. There are still some boxes we need to go through and some organizing to accomplish in there but we don't have to worry anymore about the baby stuff we wanted to keep for the next kiddo gobbling up all the space. We plan on putting up a curtain or some sort of divider wall in front of the wardrobe boxes to help "clean up" the look of the area.
Now my next big tackle in the garage will be this giant stack of too small clothes for Jack!!! Yowzers buddy you had alot of clothes!!! I really want to get the boxes of clothes down to 3 for him from the 0-18 month sizes.
