Windows Shopping?

(We're actually a Mac family, but I couldn't resist the pun.)

The kids obviously need to start watching more TV, because they can't seem to think of anything they'd like for Christmas. Well, that's not entirely true– Clara wants an iphone, an ipod, a laptop, and pierced ears, and Trevi wants an RV and a "giant electromagnet"– but they aren't giving me anything realistic. We don't go overboard with Christmas gifts around here, but usually the kids have a couple of things they've been dreaming about for months. Not so this year. And, for some reason, not a single toy catalog has graced our mailbox yet.

So, I was forced to introduce Trevor to the world of online window shopping (Clara is already well-aware of the concept). A Santa list was whipped up in no time flat. Ant farm. Compass. Stamp kit. Now we're talking.

Trevor's Parent-Teacher Conference, by the way, was great. He makes his teacher laugh. She appreciates his out-of-the-box ways. Just as we had hoped she would. Way to go, Trevi!
