funny to read through this thread!I think all of our kids would get along!

I just got the Qualtex 260's on amazon for DD7! She recently became obsessed with twisting balloon animals and she can do it herself, scares me to DEATH and DS can't stay in the room when she is doing it lol And DS9 is getting the Hexbug Battle Bridge. I missed the woot sale too, well - I'd already shopped lol But they had the bugs 50% off at Target so I got a few extra and an ant for Ds, he really wants an ant! He is getting Perplexus also. My parents are getting him a laptop.

DS got Mindflex last year and it doesn't get played with.

Big hit of the day today... Crystal Climbers. I had something similar as a child and it was my favorite. I found this at goodwill today for a few dollars and couldn't resist. Both DS9 and DS7 are having a great time with it. It's 50% off at Lakeshore Learning, only $9.99 so if it's ok to share the link...
