What is Garett Getting for Christmas?


This year, we decided to make a "Wish List" on the Toys R Us site. We always scramble to put together a list of toys for each side of the family, because, let's be honest, Garett doesn't go without much. And that's fine. Until Christmas or birthday's roll around, and we don't have many ideas. By making the list, we only had to make one isolated guess as to what he would like. The other problem being that my kid has a wide variety of interests. He pretty much likes ANYTHING, and EVERYTHING, so it makes it easier to go overboard on him. So, we really limited ourselves this year, especially knowing his birthday is one short month after Christmas.

So here are a few ideas for my toddler boy that we purchased:

Imaginext Fire Command Center:He is a sucker for anything fire/ firetruck/fireman related. He LOVES wearing his fireman boots and hat around pretending he is a fireman, and "sliding" down the post in the basement yelling "Fireman Garett, to the rescue!!!". So couldn't really go wrong with this one--all yours for $44.99 at Toys R Us


Rawlings Tee-ball full game set:Garett definitely picked up the agile and athletic gene from my side of the family. We are trying to harness his energy and figure out a sport he would like to sign up for in the coming summer or two. He's really taken with the idea of baseball right now, so we bought him this Tee-ball set. Only $24.99 online at Toys R Us


Tonka Tow Truck:He LOVES ALL things that go vroom. He loves hooking up other cars and towing them with his smaller versions, or playing with the big versions at my parents house. So thought I would get him one of his own. Regular $45 at Toys R Us, but I got mine on sale for Cyber Monday for $28. They look like they're sold out on the website right now.


Crazy Forts:
Garett is DEEP in the phase of loving forts AND of loving to build. So this is truly the best of both worlds. He can build to his little hearts content, and we can throw a sheet on top and have his fort made. Also, clean up is easy!

Anything and everything Paw Patrol.
He's not super keen on the show right now, but he still LOVES his paw patrol toys. So I got him a wide variety of toys.


Imaginarium Bouncy Dragon:
Garett is into riding on our backs or jumping on us yelling " YEEHAW!" so I'm hoping by having this big bouncy dragon, that he will choose to jump on this instead :) $29.99 at Toys R Us


Ottawa Senators Super Hero Cape:
He's entering the phase where he is starting to love superheroes. Batman is currently his favourite, and also references Spiderman a lot, so we are easing into this addiction with a silk Ottawa Senators Cape. He can pretend to be a superhero, all while supporting our team of choice ;) Only $19.99 at Toys  R Us



As you can see, a wide variety of interest spewing out of our house this year.
Honorable mentions: Playdough. Anything Playdough related.
Kids lego
Thomas engines
Books
Bath toys
Animal figurines

What are your kids asking for this year?

Happy shopping! (Mine's done :))

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
