One of my sons favorite sets, and his first to pick to make birthday cards for friends. So whenever we go to a party-we give the same card. Hopefully we have not given the same card twice :)

Why I did not sell our Kitchen...

Absolute Joy...I hung the moon that day. (which as he gets older does not happen quite as often)

My little scientist came home from school to see his little tikes art table transformed into his very own "laboratory" complete with labeled shelves and lab equipment.

He then decided to add his kitchen into the mix. He cleaned out all the play food and took my label maker and proceeded to finish his laboratory.

He has had this kitchen since he was two-and mommy could not just "give" it away, so we have shuffled this thing about the house and through 2 moves. But this made it all worth those many years of moving it.

I do not recall ever getting so many love yous and hugs.

...well, except for the time that I bought a certain cocoa-licous cereal, I was immediately attacked on isle 3 by the happiest 8 year old on the planet. "Mommy, mommy, you are the best mommy ever, I love you so, so, so, much!" No, apparently we do not buy cereal often enough and I am positive that some of the shoppers that day thought that I must starve my little string bean of a child--for one to be so excited about cereal-- and that this would surely be his only meal of the day.
