Christmas in July

Yes, I uttered that word!

I've begun to purchase and think about things for Christmas.  This year, we are not going to go crazy like we have in the past.  We still have toys in the packaging that we were too lazy to wrap still hiding in a closet.

I've actually only gotten a few things for DD.  She was with me as I was shopping for stuff for DS's first birthday.  After his birthday, I may start getting him stuff.  Since we are renting a place without a yard and have limited space, we are not going to get big items.  Also, we don't know if we are going to have to move next summer yet.

So far for DD, she is getting a  few Peppa the Pig items: Peppa the Pig car, Peppa the Pig family playset, Phineas and Ferb toys, and The Runaway Dinner book.   I did not order the Peppa the Pig items from the internet, they were actually at Toys R Us and were on sale.  The Phineas and Ferb toys were from the Disney store and they had a special of buying two play sets for $20.  I also got the Finding Nemo set for DS.  And The Runaway Dinner is DD's favorite book.  She loves to check it out whenever we go to the library.

Since, I mentioned DS birthday, I was not sure what to get him.  So far, we've gotten the following items, most of which happened to be on sale.  We got him the Little Tykes Play and Scoot Pirate Ship, a few Baby Einstein dvds, the Finding Nemo playset, and a Melissa and Doug Dinosaur Grasping Toy.

All except for the book were purchased in stores.  Turns out it is much cheaper to order online through Barnes and Noble than to have them ship the book to their stores.
