So, my mom, Grandma Jenny, is a GENIUS! She mailed the boys' and Maya's birthday presents yesterday. She sent them boxes FULL of garage sale toys. Small, old, junky toys. Old McDonalds toys, pirate coins, shells, stickers...all sorts of stuff that was probably a nickel. And guess what? They LOVE it! Every last little toy. She gave each one a container with their name on it so they could put their "treasure" in it. I find myself spending money on expensive toys that they rarely play with and it's such a waste. The garage sale finds are perfect! She did splurge and buy them a few toys, clothes and shoes...it's hard to resist...I know! But, how genius to go back to the simple times of little tinker type toys that kids love. Thanks Mom!
