Christmas is coming!!!

And my children have become obsessed with toy catalogs. We have a special drawer that they are all kept in and they pour over them time and time again, circling the things they want and asking if they can have this thing or that thing. I swear there are a couple of catalogs that have every single item circled! Evan has the greatest enthusiam for this activity. He calls them his "books" and looks through 3 or 4 of them a day -- and gets marker all over the countertop and himself when he does it. This conversation illustrates the extent of his passion:

In the car
Me: What do you want for Christmas this year, Evan?
Evan: Um.... where's my book?
Me: Its at home, just tell me what you want.
Evan: But I need my book!
Me: No you don't -- you can just tell me what things you liked that were in the book.
Evan: I'll tell you at home when I have my book.


Maybe I should just give him catalogs for Christmas!
