wish books

Both kids have been cutting things from catalogs and taping them to the doors in our kitchen. It started out nice, but then got way out of control. Their wish lists were migrating to the fridge, left out on the kitchen table... you get the idea. Some action needed to be taken so this evening our family assembled some wish books. I cropped the multitude of toy photos for both kids, they sorted them and then we all taped them onto papers, stapled them together with a cover page and some extra sheets in the back and - voila! - wish books. The bonus (besides the obvious of uncluttering the kitchen) is now I have a little book to take shopping with me and we can clearly see where Thomas' interests are. I think the kids will take them when they visit Santa, too.
