[Hottest Toys This Year?]

I bought the science toys at Toys R Us. If your child is older who loves science these are super nice. They have a rock tumbler, solar system, etc. Educational and fun. Im sure my son will love them

Thanks for the idea, I discovered the Butterfly Pavillion and we will all have a great time with this one. Perfect for my 8 yr old daughter.

[Christmas Decorations]

We usually start slowly putting up Christmas and taking down Autumn right after Halloween. And as we live very close to the International airport I worry our long driveway will be mistaken for a runway!LOL DH goes all out on the front yard and a couple of years ago we got caught a bit with a Tropical storm in mid November that dumped so much rain all of the 8ft blowups were totally submersed on the ground. Amazing though, days later they dried out and all of them are still working.....This year I took down all the Autumn deco to evacuate for Hurricane Rita and do not have the heart to put it all up again, so I may start Christmas even earlier! We are SO ready for winter here in the Houston area.
