only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
The kids are already asking for special gifts for Christmas. Kendyll is at that age where she notices every toy advertised on TV and proclaims, “I want that” every 30 seconds. Steven is happy to play with any toy that he finds lying around and can entertain himself quietly forever. Boomer and Maggie are more selective but their gifts are much more expensive, too. Levi never knows exactly what he wants. He’ll mention one or two things but it’s like he’s not even sure.
I have a few ideas for Kendyll and Steven but I’m stumped for the other kids this year. Money is a bit tighter than years past. I can remember when each kid got a new bike, new remote control helicopters, cars or trucks, 3 or 4 video games each and more Legos than any ten kids could use in a lifetime. And Maggie always ended up with a half dozen dolls or so. My how times have changed around here!
The thing is, though, that the kids are fine with fewer gifts. Its the grown ups who expect to see more. When I’m trying to make the Christmas money stretch this year, I’m going to have to remember that.
