Hanukah went out with a flicker tonight. The girls opened four final presents: another spelling/puzzle game; a brand new box of Toobers and Zots; a big box of assorted stamps and stamp pads (an immediate hit with M, who needed…
Tonight M opened one of those Haunkah gifts that wasn’t that fun. Amidst the Tinkertoys, bouncy balls, play-doh and stickers, I included a hanging organizer thing that the girls can use to store things like bracelets, barrettes, finger puppets, etc.…
