Running Wish list

So, near Christmas and birthdays my mind draws a blank when asked what to get the kids (or me). So, I have had some thoughts on this and decided to make a list here and keep updating it over the months. If anyone wants to get the kids something (mostly for the doting grandparents, I guess), here is the place to look! I just found a great little Toy Store in Hanover that had a bunch of these items. Called "the Toy Box" (not the same as "My Toy Box")

Both Sophia and Dylan

Dr. Seuss Books

  • Classic stories (ie. Goldie Locks, Never Cry Wolf, Three Little Pigs...
  • Dr.'s Kit
  • Toy Vacuum
  • Slippers - preferably the heal-less variety, sillier the better. They currently fight over one bunny slipper (where the other is I don't know). I would like them to have a pair that stay on well too (shoe kind) to keep their feet warm on frosty mornings.

Sophia

  • Doll House furniture (living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms(parent and kid) and bathroom. There are two rooms in the attic that could be playrooms or studio type furniture. Dolls for dollhouse. "Calico Critters" are the right scale for the doll house and have lots of furniture. Plan Toys also have the right scale furniture for our doll house.
  • Wiggle walk clothes (dresses, skirts that are easy to play in everyday)
  • leggings to match wiggle walk attire
  • nightgown
  • jewelry
  • new pink purse w/ phone (has one, but ready for an upgrade), keys, wallet...
  • lip smackers (remember those? They used to have them stuffed into candycanes and "books")
  • Toy kitchen appliances - coffee maker, toaster, mixer...
  • Rose petal Cottage (not megapackage, just shell)
  • IKEA table and chairs
  • ironing board w/ iron
  • Playdough set (ie, barber shop, ones with playdough moulds, etc...)

Dylan

  • Tool bench - with board that has places to screw in toy screws, different tools with it too.
  • train table
  • train bridges for set
  • More trains
  • Miele toy vacuum cleaner

Cindy

  • Apron
  • wood cooking utensils
  • LLB packable slippers, charcoal or raspberry, XS
  • vacuum bag sealer
  • electirc griddle
  • Express velour suit in black, small
