As being ruined that is..
I amazed myself as the gifts I purchased for my children were enjoyed and played with. Even the new undies were a hit. I've just got awesome kids like that.
Jarah was the most exciting to watch. He opened the first gift. Ripped open the paper squeals out a truck, tanks it out and tries to break through the string. As soon as its out he's off through the house pushing it around. What a highlight moment!!
Avigail ripped open half her gift. She didn't need help she just did it. But the kids were impatient and pulled it off to. She got an activity table with lights and buttons. She loves it dancing while she makes the music play.
Amalia was next receiving a pink sleeping bag. Not too exciting but useful atleast. She really enjoying her textas and special colouring in book. I realise later that I paid $20 for this enjoyment.. jeepers!! But I was in a hurry sat morning with all kids in tow. She likes her books too.
Isaiah also got his own sleeping bag. He was more keen on checking out the little kids stuff. He also got a boogie board that he's keen to try out. It has the rope thing on it so that's special for him. He didn't even look at his book. I pulled one out knowing he'd like it. You build your own ark by pushing out the cardboard pieces then pressing them altogether. The rest remain in the bag not looked at.
One day while trying to get the gifts sorted with kids I grabbed an awesome looking tonka chuck truck thing. $80 reduced to $30 I thought it was a score!! That was until yesterday when we opened the box and assembly was required. What a fail. And it wasn't what I thought it was. Michael stressed about it, sticking it together then when it was done took over the play. It's actually fairly cool. The little truck drives itself around the track and tumbles all over the place.
We tried going to the beach but it was so busy & so the trouble began. We ended up going home instead.
I won't publicly tell you the rest of the day but I can tell you it was shit & I'm not doing Christmas next year.
Hoping your day was tonnes better than ours..
