Hey! have you peeked into my closet or something? I have 6+years
worth of Happy Meal toys stashed in a big box. We call them the
"sick toys" and they come out ONLY when someone is really sick
and needs something they can do while resting. That way we lose
fewer(g). I decided I was truly psycho when I organised them all by
type last week (croup week around here) and put them into zip locks.
Funny coincidence, I had just disovered the online LEGO area tonite,
after going out and buying 2 more sets as rewards for my kids today.
My theory on toys is: buy stuff both parent and child like,
so you can play together! much more fun! We have LOTS of legos now(g).
