Zane and I had been talking about what "Santa" wanted to get Ty for Christmas. He's mentioned a few things here and there that i've tried to write down to get him, plus we already have a few things we bought for him. So, we decided instead of making more debt we would just do a lay-a-way at K-mart. At first I wasn't too keen on the idea, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea!! I mean, honestly......why use credit cards and go into debt?!?!? We went yesterday afternoon after we left the doctors office and got Ty quite a few things he had mentioned he liked. We got:
- Cabbage Patch 25th anniversary boy doll. Tyler has been asking for a boy doll for SO long now!! We couldn't find many that were a boy AND were semi-cute. But, we found the cutest boy cabbage patch doll yesterday......he will love it!!!
- Elefun game. Everytime he see's the commercial he says he would love to play it!!!
- Lincoln Logs. Zane has been saying how much he loved them when he was a kid so he wanted to get them for Ty.
- Leapfrog Tag reading system, plus a Spongebob book to go with it. I just LOVE this thing!!! And Ty is really into trying to read words himself, this will be perfect for him!!! Plus, when he see's the commercial he asks me "mom, will that help me to read more words?"
I *think* that's it. Zane had the cart and was hiding stuff under our jackets in so Ty wouldn't see what we picked up! LOL There is one thing he keeps asking for, and has been for over a month now.......that Furreal Friends Tumbles beagle that rolls over. Ok, I *do* think it's cute, but for $40?!?!?!? The cuteness has faded!!! K-mart did have it on sale for $36.99, but I still can't bring myself to get it......i'm sure it will be one of those toys that he plays with for a short time, then ends up upstairs with all the other toys he doesn't mess with. *sigh* I'm torn on what to do about this Tumbles puppy........
Also, at home we still have for him:
-Chutes and Ladders Diego edition. (super cute with plastic play pieces instead of cardboard!)
- Polaroid kid camera
- Hungry Hungry Hippos (he has been asking for this game for over a month, too!!!!)
- The Incredibles dvd
There are a few small things we've picked up here and there for his stocking, and i'm sure we'll keep picking up little things here and there for him.....I love hitting the DollarTree and finding things in there for his stocking!!! We also decided to get him a regular big boy bike for his birthday in January.

Holy cow--Ty is making out like a bandit! :D With Lay-a-way, when do you have to pay--weekly, monthly or all at once at a certain time? Funny, we always do last minute and always have enough, but until then, we are worried about where the money is going to come from--and Patrick wants baby #4! hahahaha
We're coming to play with Ty. :D The kids loved Hungry hungry hippos. But they messed it up and need another. I think they are all old enough this time not to mess it up. :)
With the lay-a-way, you have to put a small amount down, then depending on hw much you spend will determine how much you pay. $150 worth of stuff is $35 every two weeks. You can pay weekly, or at least every two weeks, and you have to have it out no later than Dec. 19th. I *think* they close lay-a-way at that time for a few weeks, but i'm not sure. I *think* Zane put down $20 and he said he has to pay at least $33 every two weeks, but he said he'll pay $40.
You should hear what my sister Kathie and her hubby got him!!!! This kid will have to use the whole upstairs for all of his stuff! LOL
Ooh, do tell. :D
