tidbits

First, I saw that I have 43 posts in Nov.--more posts than days in Nov!

Second, Nathan really wants this T-Rex toy at Toys R Us, but it's $140 (and he'd probably not play with it the week after Christmas). The other day he asked me, "Do you know where a lot of pennies are?" I said I didn't know. Then he said, "How many pennies would it take to get Spike?" "14,000." We saw Santa yesterday at the mall and he asked for Spike. Alex asked for an easy bake oven.

Here's a picture that Nathan drew of Spike:

Third, Alex wanted to get these Star Wars figurines he saw at WalMart (Todd got one and he thought it was cool). They are $7 each. Each Sat. the boys get $5 for allowance. He asked how much the figurines were, and then after a little figuring on his fingers said, "In 4 weeks, I can get 2 and have $6 left over." I was still trying to do the math myself! I told him he was good at math and he said, "Just with money," ... He is so much like his mother!!

Last, the night before last Nathan had a MAJOR CRISIS! His "Rexy" had a hole in it! He cried and cried like his friend had died. We told him that he could go to the Dr. at Build-a-Bear and they could fix him. When he woke up, the first thing he said was, "Get me dressed! Come on! Let's go!" We went and got him all fixed up good as new. He told me that Sharky was a little worried about Rexy but that he said he would be ok. After Rexy went to the Dr. Nathan called Todd and told him that Rexy was very brave.

Here is Nathan with Rexy and Sharky:
