something special for the kids? like a swap for them, you know coloring books, crayons, glue, stickers, construction paper. just little inexpensive stuff. I know mine love going to the dollar Tree and Big Lots and buying just junk they think is neat. What do you guys think?

I think thats a great idea, Ellise!!

I Love It !!!!!!!!!! Count me in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wait someone else start it!! I'm not ready to head up a project i still one of da babies. LOL No, If we get enough people involved I'd be glad to start. So what about a price limit? say no more than what $5.00 or is that too cheap?

Love that idea. count me in too.

Do we take one per kid and put in one per kid? Or take what we want and replace the same amount? How ya gonna run it, Boss? ;)

ok four so far anyone else? oh wait they are in bed already huh. Maybe I should be too it's 11:01 here, 5:30 comes quick.

You guys tell me, I've never done this before so it's NEW grounds for me. Do you think it best to do take what you want and put back same amount?

Give it a few days so everyone gets a chance to see it.

I'm in as well. Since thier such a huge age gap between my kids,I'll just add Katie.Ashley is to 'old' for coloring books etc and Jackson is to young.

Whenever the boss sets the deadline is fine and dandy with me :D

Maybe if this one does good we can do one for the older ones as well. Not real sure what Teenagers really like other than Video games LMAO Too expensive. It be easy for the girls, you know little necklaces, bracelets etc... the what I call "disposalable" ones.

this sounds fun. i might like to join too!! my dd is almost 5 and she would LOVE it!!:D

I figured we can send it in the childrens names? I think it'd be great to see their little faces when the get a package in the mail!

Oh but I can't show the box to Tyler.... he would want EVERYTHING in it. LOL
I will have to choose for him and hide the rest. :P

I would love to but postage for you US gals would be too expensive (to Canada)....I'll sit this one out but have lots of fun!!:smball: :smball: :smball:

madison would want the whole thing too!!;)

maybe if we get a good list of participants, we could just swap with one person, that way the whole package would be for that child!! then we could address it to them and they would be soooo excited!:D :D what do you think???
oh ellise.........what do you think??:toothy:

That would be good too... kind of like Sara did for the kitchen gadget swap. We could all list a little about our kids and what they like and then just buy for our partner. Then age wouldn't matter too.

yes, great idea sherry!

that is a great idea.

Sounds good to me!!. UGH! mt Avitar is screwy! what happened?

Ok, I'm ready. I already have the stuff bought so whenever you guys are ready let me know.

whenever you all are ready is ok with me too. i can get stuff bought tomorrow, but we need to decide who is swapping with who.....so we know the age of the child.;)

Ellise, you're not a greenhorn anymore, you've earned your wings!

LOL, so I can fly now? How are you doing? Did the Recipes help?

YES Misty go shop ping tomorrow and walk a lot so you'll go into labor and have the baby on SUNDAY!! the 9th. hehehe. Just please becareful and not over d(ue)o it. We want a heatlhy baby.
