Dang sniper, got my Laa Laa Tubby in the last 3 seconds!!!

I have, however, finally found one I think she will like and ordered it tonight.

Thanks for the website suggestions Pippin04. I had just ordered the doll and came to peek at TVClubhouse for a bit and what do you know but the 1st site you suggested is the one I had used. I think they got some new stock because I do not believe that doll was listed when I looked earlier.

I still think it is too diddly dang bad that the toys, especially the new ones, are primarily in the UK and not everyplace ships outside the UK and of course the cost of shipping becomes prohibitive. The cartoons/shows are on USA tv as well. Tubbies are just around 10 years old I think. TMNT are much older and you can still find those. In fact bought one for oldest nephew (24 yrs old) today, he loved the turtles when he was a kidlet.

Thanks again Julieboo & Pippin04 for your suggestions. May Santa be good to you both.

Now need to find hubby a sweater. I asked him what size tonight and he said "XXX Fat Ass". We laughed but really need to get healthy soon as we are both quite heavy.

I have my nieces here today while sis and bil are out doing a little shopping. The girls have to make an ornament and take it to school to decorate their tree there. So that's our Christmas activity for today, making some foamie ornaments.

War, cool Christmas event and what a good price! I wish they had that type of thing around here when my kids were a few years younger!

Did you get your oven fixed?

Sugar, I know ...dang sniper, but I have to say that if there is something on ebay that we really want, we do snipe. I sure wish I had a Lala to send to you. We had lots of lalas and pos several years ago. good luck!

I am hoping to get some decorations up soon! My oldest turned 18 on Friday and we have been having a birthday weekend instead of Christmas activities. I am starting to get anxious to get some Christmas decorations, baking, and mailing done.

OK so if I'm out and about doesn't mean I won't pick up little things here and there but if the kids showed up tomorrow they'd have a good Christmas cept the presents aren't wrapped.

Yay Serate!!!! Congrats on finishing your shopping!

Happymom, it was a really nice thing to do. We'll definitely go again next year for it.

Haven't gotten the oven fixed yet. Darren's been helping his step dad clean out his dad's house. Spent a couple days up there this weekend and will be going back Wed and staying 3-4 days to try to finish. Hasn't had time for the oven.

Since Darren's going to be gone next weekend, I told him tonight we're going to have to put the tree up and decorate it Tuesday night. Not sure when we'll have time after that. I'm not too worried about decorating the outside of the house but the kidlets are getting twitchy about the inside.

My nieces are going to spend Friday night here (no reason other than they wanted to.) Told them me and sis would make sugar cookies at their house and then bring them back here to decorate. Since Darren will be gone, I'm going to let the girls camp in the living room, throw in some Christmas movies, maybe crank up the Christmas carols.

I'm having a lot of fun this year, lol. Not only my kids, but most my nieces and nephews are old enough this year to really enjoy everything about the season and its so much fun.

Oh that is too cute!

For a few years, starting when he was about Abby's age, my nativity set was Caleb's favorite toy through December. He'd spend hours sitting at the table playing with the people and animals. I never knew what I'd find the next time I walked by it, lol, a hot wheels car, T-rex, my Christmas carolers from my Christmas village. He was always really careful with the peices but that would have come in so handy!

DH just brought up our tree...all h*ll broke loose! The pugs just saw the green top coming thru the door and they came unglued. I am laughing so hard that I couldn't keep them calmed down. We did not put up the tree last year because the boys were still puppies. Thank heavens the tree is in the sunroom and we can shut the door. This is going to be an exciting Christmas in more ways than one.

LOL, unglued because they couldn't believe their good luck that a tree was in their house or scared because a tree is in their house?

If anyone is bored or wants to do something cute, try this! You decorate a gingerbread cookie and then you can e-mail it to your friends. They even give a code for your blogs.

Beautiful tree, Julieboo! Mine is standing in the living room finally, but not decorated yet. LOL

Panda, I love that gingerbread cookie site. Very cute!

This is always one of my favorites to visit during the winter, especially the holiday season.

If it's a .jpg and you're on Win XP, right-click the picture and select Resize from the shortcut menu displayed.

I'm on Windows Vista. I tried right clicking on the photo in my gallery and there is nothing about resizing listed. Sorry, I'm a real novice at posting photos. :-(
