The Joys of Boys :0)~

It's a beautiful thing-- getting some really good toys second-hand for one hell of a discount, and having both Tyin and Connor agree with me that they are really good toys!
I wasn't going to get them-- but as Shawn pointed out, they were about 40 dollars less than the store price... and sure- there were peices missing. But for some, we can get the replacement parts... and for the other, well- it doesn't seem to be stopping them from enjoying the thing! (toys being mentioned are fisher price-- a standy thing that has curtains to crawl through and plastic pipes to hang or bang on, and some ball thing that is really cool once I get the balls again. The balls have things to look at inside them and the ball thing is a roller coaster thingy-ish for the balls)
We can always decide later to go pick up the full price brand new versions when we can get the money- but for now the boys have things to hold on to and stand while playing... and that has them THRILLED!

Life is good--
