Halloween is coming! But...

We have our little pumpkin (really, it's little. not even very carve-able) and a ghost decorating our front porch, and we found some adorable accessories for R's cat costume--she's going to be soooo cute!--but I just haven't been that into Halloween this year. I've actually been more focused on Christmas.

This is new for me. I'm not usually into the Christmas mood this early, and I'm definitely not one of those Christmas-all-year-round kind of people, either, but right now, all I really want to do is talk Christmas gifts. Anybody else out there know what you're getting your child for Christmas? (How about about you guys, A&M and Surf&Cali--what are you getting for our little nephews??)

So far, J and I have gotten R a Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chair (with the navy gingham slipcover), and we also want to get her some accessories for her doll. Part of me is tempted to get her a new doll but she really doesn't need one. We're also toying with the idea of making her a combination dollhouse/bookcase. I found a few plans online that look cute and hopefully aren't too hard. When Grammie and Grampie come visit next weekend I think Grampie will help us figure out the plan. Maybe. (Right, Grampie?)

We'll see. We haven't decided on any of the little stuff yet, so I'd love to hear other ideas.

So, what do all of the rest of you have planned?

  2. I'll try not to forget the tools if Jamie wants to start the doll house/book case this week end. We purchased the plasmacar for R. Yes, we put it together so Jamie won't have all the fun putting stuff together. Just have to keep Mom off it till X-mass. She had to try it of course. Still want to get her something else. What does Steph & Jamie want for X-Mas?

  3. anon, you're probably right that she could always use another doll! i've had my eye on this adorably cute waldorf style doll website, and on the American Girl Bitty Babies-- CraftyQueen used to work for the company and had a few of them and they are really great dolls, and I love that there are so many accessories and clothing options to go with them. BUT... on the "need" agenda? not really. i would just feel bad spending the $$ on that and not getting one of the other things we want to get for her.

  4. Speaking of the plasma car, it is SO addictive. whenever we would visit a&m I would always want to ride G's!!! it's too fun.

    For those who are wondering what the heck a plasma car is, check this website out. it's completely completely completely awesome. www.plasmacar.com. Just as much fun for adults as for kids. Seriously.
