Eh I bought it. I’m a sucker for a deal. I may gift it to my 11yo nephew though. It is a good deal. I just meant to speak from our drone experience Definitely. I’ll see if Dh is interested in managing it with C and if not I’ll gift it on. I also had credit so I got it for free. |

MH has ruined/lost a $100 drone (less than 48 hours after he bought it), and a $300 drone after about 15 flights. Both times due to lack of control (too windy, lost control). I have told him he’s done with drones. Not wasting anymore money on them! |

Anyone have any toy work bench recommendations? I want something with enough stuff to “work on”. I like this one, but why does it have to connect to an app? Really? Come on, it’s for a 3 yo. I wish it was just the bench and you could make all the cars at once, not one at a time.

I have two: step 2 and the wooden one is kidkraft. The step two was a gift, but has more things to do (battery operated drill and handheld drill) but I like the wooden pieces better of the other one.   |

slenle We had the Step 2 workbench for years, it was good and the kids liked it for a small period of time, but what B liked most was the actual screwing in of the screws in the back wall of the unit, so the wood one might be a better option, looks a little more basic but more to do KWIM. It is large and took up a lot of space, and with the kids having access to those types of things at daycare they werent interested anymore and recently just sold it.

I'm looking for a desk for B for his room, I'm thinking that I want it to have drawers so he can put his stuff away when he is done. wedding I know you recently got one for C's room, can you link the one you got? Do you like it, pros? cons? Anyone else have a desk for their N13? tell me about it. |

flamingo this is the Razor C has. It’s A3, not K3. I think it’s still cheapest on Amazon. Takes a little practice but it’s great.

Do you like it, pros? cons? Anyone else have a desk for their N13? tell me about it. I got one at Target because his room is small and I wanted something simple and modern.  The drawer is perfect for al of his supplies and I got a file organizer for the top and a light and I put a bin underneath for completed work.  It suits our needs pretty well and he just loves it. I come into his room to find all new art some days. |

Thanks wedding ! I keep going between one with multiple drawers or a simple one like C's. Lots to think about for sure... Also, love that chair, can be tucked in nicely, I like that. |

20% off kids gifts at Target. I just ordered the hot wheels set, carrying case, a Vampirina toy, and a Spider-Man sweatshirt for $85. I just need one or two more gifts for C and then I’m done!

LO told us today he wants a dinosaur that roars and opens his mouth and a snake. Trying to figure those out while staying in budget since I already got him most of his gifts.

Board games are all the rage at our house. She got the sneaky squirrel game, kerplunk, another brand kerplunk, chutes and ladders, and the lol water surprise game. Her favorite game to play right now is yeti spaghetti. I'm going to get her the new yeti game for Christmas.

C got a Pull my Finger game that's going to have to disappear. It's gross. |

M got chicken and the fox and it's a hit. He plays it at the sitters and has been begging for it. It's actually a lot of fun.

C got a bingo set from 5 below that he loves  I would have never thought of something like it but my coworkers son saw it and was convinced C would love it. I enjoy it too. wineallthetime C wants all the fart, poop and belly pooping games. Too bad Santa doesn’t make those... |

No to bathroom humor games. No toilets, dog poop, pimple popping, or finger pulling games over here.

Not sure if anyone mentioned these yet, but we got Evie waterbeads with sea animals and a scooper and they were a big hit with everyone.
Also, someone got her a Scruff-a-Luv. Have you guys seen these? It's like this ratty looking ball of fur and then you wash it and blow dry it and comb it out to see what animal you got. Kind of like a rescue pet. If you want to know who spent a good portion of her evening blow-drying a blue rat looking thing it was me. But Ev LOVES the damn thing (it ended up being a bunny).

That's really sweet dapostrophe. S has been asking for a pet but I am not in a position where I want to take care of one. I wonder if he would like that. |
