At the bookstore
We went to the bookstore and the girls each got some books and then decided to pool the rest of their money to buy the complete set of American Girl DVDs. We are reading the books one chapter a night at bedtime. Julianna likes having some chapter books of her own. We watched the Samantha movie, but it had a "scary" scene in it (Katie had read the book so she knew it was coming, and psyched out both herself and her sister) so we'll have to pick the right time to watch the others (not too close to bedtime or when anyone is feeling tired).
Nick didn't take long to decide on what he wanted. He got a book about basketball at the bookstore. At the toy store, he got a Lightning McQueen race track that Lucas had gotten (and Nick had coveted) and a set of Mr. Potato Head and his friends Mr. Corn and Ms. Carrot.
The race track has seen a lot of action. A LOT. If you put more than one car on, they sometimes crash! What could be better?
At first, Nick was not comfortable with the idea of mixing up their parts (putting Mr. Potato Head's hat on Mr. Corn, for example). In fact, he SCREAMED when the girls wanted to show him what it would look like. Eventually, though, he has gotten used to it and even laughs about putting the arms in the hat hole. Now, that's progress.

Great choices to spend Christmas money on! American Doll DVD's...wow, aren't they the masters at marketing? Glad Nick got his race track, can hardly wait to play with it. Do you think he'll share Lightening? xxoo Noni
