Christmas Ideas for the Kids

Lots of friends and family have already started asking about Christmas gifts for the kids, so here's a little info.  If you want to get something off of their list and make sure that they don't get a duplicate, just send me a message and I'll remove it from the list. 

Caleb  (click here for his wish list)

Wears a size 5T or XS in "big boy" clothes. He weighs about 42 lbs (most tags list the approximate weight). He really has plenty of clothes and PJ's.   He's still in love with anything that has wheels, but we have a whole fleet of cars/trucks/planes etc. He also likes Spiderman and IronMan, but he has some of that stuff and really doesn't know what it is. I'd love to have a Superman toy for him, but those are really hard to find. He has a Nerf gun, every piece of sports equipment, and what seems like every race track and train track known to man. I tried to get him into Legos, but he's really not all that interested. He isn't crazy about video games either, but he does want the one that I listed because it is a car racing game and he likes those when we are at places with game rooms. He likes Toy Story. We have a Buzz Lightyear, a Sheriff Woody, a Mr. Potato Head and a T-Rex. He also loves Phineas and Ferb. We have the plush Phineas, Ferb and Perry the Platypus. He also likes to practice writing and has really started to enjoy doing art projects. His favorite TV shows are WordWorld, Martha Speaks, Phineas & Ferb and anything to do with wild animals. He LOVES wild animals, bugs, lizards and frogs and will watch National Geographic for as long as we will let him. (I do not love animals, bugs, lizards and frogs. Please do not get him live animals, bugs, lizards and frogs - no matter how funny you think that would be. Seriously. You will take home anything you give him that eats, breathes or poops. Seriously.)   He would also like interlocking puzzles suitable for a 5 year old, shrinky dinks and some refills for his lite brite.  Caleb is getting a nerf gun, a Jessie doll (Toy Story), a Toy Story snuggie, Mario Kart for the the Wii, a nerf bow and arrow, a new TV for the playroom and a fish tank.

Nola (click here for her wish list)
Wears a size 12 mos (9-12 mos).  She has lots of hand-me-down toys, but these are some things that I think she would like. Right now, she loves anything that she can chew on, but she's starting to get more interactive with her toys. She is crawling and pulling up on furniture and sometimes even cruising on the furniture.  She's getting a couple of baby dolls, some balls, an Elmo book, a push walker that looks like a stroller, a play kitchen, a stuffed Elmo, a stuffed Abby Cadabby and a couple of sing-a-ma-jigs.
