Colin loves Junior Lego sets and keeps asking for a Transformer. I'll aso probably steal the cash register idea. I'll probably try to find some age-appropriate Superhero toys for Chase, since he's aware of them now thanks to Colin. Chase also wants his own snow shovel.  |

Cadence has a little minnie mouse cash register. I think I'll replace it with a better/more realistic version. She loves the one at school and has always been drawn to them in the toy aisles.

-Beanbag chair (he’s outgrown his AC)
-Toy cash register
-New luggage (prob rolling suitcase, in eyeing one at PBK)
-Connect 4 game
-jump rope
-Legos (sets)
-will probably introduce him to Star Wars and get a few of those type toys (action figures, a LEGO set, or similar)
And always books and clothes.

M - coloring stuff, lunch box, board games, peter pan figurine set, arts & crafts stuff, shoes
H - tool work bench thingy, anywhere chair, dinosaur toys, clothes, books
I really am the worst for stuff for H. He at least likes playing with toys that I previously bought for M that she never used like those go go animals.

On Prime Day I got her the following (all of which are hiding in a closet):
a new Anna dress up dress
Princess peel off nail polish
Magformers
LOL Surprise Biggie Pet (Christmas)
The Biggie Pet is for Christmas because I told her to ask Santa for it.
If anyone gets her one for her birthday (LOL themed) I'm going to strangle them....or just exchange it for a different one.
She has requested a Vampirina car. I told her she could have that if she would learn to wipe her own butt. I'm hoping she will have mastered that by either her birthday or Christmas.
Usually for her birthday mh and I get her 1 gift and everything else comes from whoever comes to her party.

My MIL bought M one from American girl which she loves. But, she also bought a $10 one from Walmart that both the kids fight over at her house. |

My sister had this one and they are still making it 30 years later, lol. Santa brought it last year and it has been a good one. What I like about it is that it is super sturdy and stable/not tippy. My kids have been known to get in it  and it has survived to tell the tale. Little Tikes stroller
eta: if I see that she continues to be 'into' dolls I want to get her one like this maybe next year or at 4, but I feel like right now it would get destroyed by the aforementioned children. |

We've done others like this (not the Smithsonian brand, but similar) and B loves them. I added that volcano one to my list, he is fascinated with them right now. Thanks! |

Ok, now *I'm* talking to myself (not terribly unusual).
Whoever said sleds and snow shovels--great idea. I don't know that we want to invest in legit sleds, but maybe those plastic disc things or something like that in case we get as much snow this year as we did last (I'm sure if I buy all the gear, toys, etc., we won't get any. You're welcome, Virginia)
