Birthdays and gifts

Speaking of birthdays, I've been asked about presents. So here are a few suggestions. Justin can use T-shirts. Preferably not light colors because chocolate milk is my laundry nemesis. I just can't always get to the laundry in a timely manner so sometimes it sits there. And sometimes even when I wash right away, it stubornly remains on the clothes! Taunting me! It does, I swear! But anyway.......Leanna does not actually need clothes. If anyone feels so inclined, school is coming up soon and a few cute things to wear to school would be nice though. Arts and crafts stuff are always great, we go through crayons like crazy here. Leanna's big on stickers(and they're cheap). She's in a princess phase, kind of, music is good too. Books are always good. Justin's not as big on them though, he doesn't have the patience to sit and listen. He is fascinated by animals(doggies especially) and likes trucks, trains, and airplanes. Leanna's big on trains too. So any book with lots of big pictures of those things works. Maybe even a book on bugs or frogs(tadpoles). Justin's still too little for hotwheel type cars, but bigger ones that don't have parts that come off. Especially with Timothy able to crawl now I can't have tiny peices lying around. Silly little stuff like Sunglasses are good because they're forever getting lost or broken.

****People have been very generous to our kids. Thank you thank you thank you. That said, THEY DO NOT NEED ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS BIG. At this point in time we have a barbie jeep, 5 small bikes, at least 2 regular bikes, 2 small rocking horse type things, a wagon, any many other large toys(including but not limited to a toy kitchen, a toy vanity, and a toy washing machine,). We are grateful for all the toy donations, hand-me-down or otherwise! But if the big gifts keep coming in we will soon have to rent a garage just for their stuff!
