little hackers...

The other day, I was looking online at our favorite websites. We order most of our Christmas gifts because it saves tons of time! AND we sort of love getting mail-gifts. Well, I started at Vision Forum. It is a GREAT place for Godly, toys and books and movies. Also they have real adventure stuff for boys. Last year we got the zipline, and the slingshot! The girl stuff is pretty sweet too. Well, I looked at the top of the page and it said I had 6 items in my cart! hmmm. can't remember adding things, but you know I haven't had a full night's sleep in like 12 years! So I may have but just forgot that detail. So I looked at the cart. hmm, yes, I remember thinking the spy gear would be good. Yes I looked at that for kid 2. hmm... yes I liked that too. then further down, "TOMOHAWK!??" I did not add that!!!!!! Who would give these three boys a tomohawk!? ohhh, it began to hit me ... THEY would. Yes a real weapon folks. These boys can maim one another with foam swords. They do it often. Plastic ones cause serious damage. and they think I'm gonna give them actual blades????? Those greedy little hackers.(hacking as in computer. lol no pun intended there!) if you have never seen the website, www.visionforum.com
Meanwhile, I am thinking foam blocks, bubble wrap and cardboard for my kids for christmas. hmm, no cardboard can give pretty bad cuts... better keep thinking.

That is so funny- what clever boys you have!!

When we first had children we banned all play guns- hey just made them out of anything they could find! Well at least we tried!

I am going to check out the store you mentioned ! Last year we had just come home with Sarah so I did all my shopping on line! I loved it!

We did that too Jean! We thought we were promoting nonviolence. But then they made gun noises from their toothbrushes, made pistol shapes from toast. Last week my 5 yo was taping his wooden train tracks together to make guns. I gave up years ago. lol Yes it is a neat store. also for dolls for adopted children www.sleepysoft.com is amazing!

I never even thought about them doing that. Omigosh I have SO much to learn before my kids get older. I'm in trouble.

Oh my! Sounds like something my two would think up. I love that store...we got the sling shot, some kind of book about making potato cannons and such, and the replica rifle that hides and sword inside. Too cool. Looking for good idead for this Christmas, too.
