More From Winter Break

One of the gifts the kids got for Christmas was a gift card to Toys R Us. They were extremely excited to be able to chose what they wanted all on their own. We decided to make the trip (to a Toys R Us we had seen not long after we got here) before they had to go back to school. Before we started towards Omaha we needed to wash the truck. This was Natalie's first time going through a car wash, and it was quite entertaining!!! She didn't know what to expect...things scared her at times and made her laugh at others.


He can't help it, being weird even in the car wash...maybe it had to do with waiting in line for almost 20 minutes before it was our turn.
The jets of water can be pretty loud!

She liked the pretty colors the soap on the windows made.

Being cool about it all.
We drove to where we thought the Toys R Us was...but it ended up being the wrong mall. We wondered around for a while before finally finding the right one. It only took about 45 minutes to get there after leaving the car wash! Natalie was sound asleep, but woke up quickly once she realized we were there. Ethan ended up getting a Lego Hovercraft and Natalie got several Puppy/Pony In My Pocket sets. They were both very happy with their purchases!!!
On New Years Eve I let Natalie invite several friends over. There was one more little girl that came over, but I forgot to take a picture until she had already gone home. There was a little bickering, because that's what girls do, but they surprised me by how well they played together!

Ethan meanwhile, enjoyed one of his new video games that he got with his Game Stop gift card.

Going shopping for your own stuff, with your own money is the best. I use to thrive on this. I think they both did very well.

Im not sure how you lived through 4 little girls but I guess its just one step closer to a room full of teen girls. OMG the horror! I am not that strong or that brave. I already see myself throwing teens out my front door.

I laughed at your room full of teen girls.

Wait until the oldest is past 50.
