Christmas
What's everyone buying their kiddos for Christmas this year?
We are getting the boys some paw patrol stuff and clothes but have to decide on their large item yet. We are leaving toward a power wheels but have also been playing around with using that as a reward if they start using the potty since we are at our breaking point on that. They understand when they have to go and can tell us they have to go they just refuse to go number 2 in the potty.

Re: Christmas
I already got dd a kindle fire during a good sale. She uses our iPads to watch Netflix/play games so I figured she would be happy to have her own tablet. And for the price I was happy about it.
Thinking about getting disney on ice tickets.
I have a used american girl doll I grabbed off craigslist a while ago. I might give it to her but might sell it. She ended up getting other dolls so I'm not sure she really needs another one.
I'm sure I will find some other things along the way.
But my in laws go sorta crazy with the toys. They out bought Santa and us combined and I was pretty upset about it.
This also happens to be why we have a toy ban when it comes to their birthday in Feb because they just don't need all the junk.
We also try to do a big toy sweep prior to christmas. We then donate a bunch of stuff. At least keeps the junk down a bit and a good message around holidays to donate.

The downside is that it does not have inputs for music sources other than CDs--but a commenter provided a work-around.
I was initially looking at this one with more/better features, but the reviews are spotty.

Membership to Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is not reciprocal with membership to Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, PA) or the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum(Canton, OH).
I also like to get the kids things that I don't have to find another bin/place/home for, in other words, I try to build off what they already play with/have, and it helps make old stuff seem new again.
For DD-New barbies, new breyer horses, etc.
For DS-More imaginext stuff; v-tech go-go; matchbox cars, etc that I can dump into our existing bins after Christmas.
DS is getting a desk chair. We have a toy room (hallway really) between our living room and DH's office. It desperately needs cleaned out, so I hope to do that and then get a chair for the counter space that is in there. I've been saving pencils, and I'll get him some getting ready for kindergarten books. He likes school so far, and I think he'll dig having his own space. (Now we will just have to keep it clean in there!) "Santa" has also been keeping his letter pictures from school and will hang them above his desk as a surprise! I have already planted the chair idea, and we keep talking about it, so I hope he's excited.
