IN SEARCH OF...



Fetch me an elf! Where in the name of sweet baby Jesus can I find the Cranium Giggle Gear Mega Mask Fun Fairy or the Fisher Price Lil Movers Airplane? You who have put me on this wild goose chase--you know who you are. Fellow blogger. Did you do this to me on purpose to torment me? You know I do not like to disappoint, but honestly. This is going to be tough. I've been on the phone with a bevy of toy retailers today and have tried all the online spots. No luck!

My kids are in for a rude awakening Christmas morning. The eldest cowboy (who is also the only literate one of the bunch) took it upon himself to draft up "Dear Santa letters" for the entire posse. I don't think there's a single item on anyone's list that's less than $50: cell phones, digital cameras, various video game systems. Ha! As if.

As for me, I am busy as all get-out. Holiday preparation is in full swing here at our cozy rambler. We trekked up to the attic night before last to retrieve our wooden advent calendar. While we were up there, the boys spied a bunch of the tackiest Christmas display items we own...you know the ones you hide way in the back, hoping not to have to display yet another year. But of course, upon seeing them, they chimed with, "I love this 10-foot snowman!" "This papier mache Rudolph is my favorite from days of yore!" So down they came. Tackola.

Well, no time to prattle on. Much work to do... Merry December!

Go check your email for info on both of your items. Both can arrive in time for Santa to place under your tree.

Sorry about that! I sent you some other ideas... When I added those items to our wishlists, they were not so scarce... Who knew we were picking the hot pick!

I hear it might snow tonight. I am still hoping for the Handyman to build his cinderblock based snowman this year.

Don't know if you're still looking for the airplane toy but I just ordered it from etoys.com today. They have it in stock.
