This return of SWM will bring the end to several sleepless nights. Thank you Heidi!

My 3 yr old wants Thomas the Train and a big race car. I think Santa can handle that as long as it doesn't start an obsession with Thomas. I couldn't handle that.

The toothpaste thing! That is a hoot! I'm pretty sure if my son had a car and some money, he'd buy me those Debbie Meyer Green Bags or the Wonder Hangers!

The Wii is really worth the money….we have had a lot of fun together with it.

My kids:
The 8 year old is simple, she only wants 3 things:
Heeley's
iPod touch
Netbook

the 12 year old:

Laptop, Dell please 4 gb with a webcam and MS Office.

The hampster thing is nuts, I saw a line at Toys R Us for it yesterday.

Wii will not be getting one of those, although I would love the Wii fit myself!

Honestly, I'd like the crayon maker. Of course, something tells me it would be a real mess!

My 5 year old son says if he could only get one thing, it would be the Crayola Crayon Maker.

Indoor snowball fights are the best! We played those at school and retreats as ice breakers. You would write something about yourself on the paper before you crumple it up, then start the snowball fight and then pick one up and find the person!

It's been a while since I was a kid, but nowadays, my friends and I still get together and act like kids, haha. One of our favorite activities is getting together at someone's house and each of us brings a favorite board game or card game to share. That way, you can play new games you don't have at home without having to buy them and also playing with lots of people besides your family!

Another fun activity I've done with friends is a food workshop. My friend Dan is Italian and he and his mom invited us over to teach my siblings and I how to make their delicious family recipe meatballs. It was a great hands on activity and there was something for everyone to do. We had great fun learning how to make real Italian meatballs (we're used to buying frozen!) and we helped them make dinner!

I love the theme dinner night! I have to try that with my family. =)
