No toys for Christmas!!

Last night after dinner my kids sat down in a circle in the middle of the living room floor with their notebooks and pens and made “the lists!” Those being of course their holiday wish lists to tell everyone what they want this year! Which of course led Brian and I into a discussion about the insane number of toy recalls this year. After the AquaDots fiasco and that still being something Ethan wanted I was ready to call off the holidays all together! NO TOYS! Zip, zero, zilcho.

 Our original plan this year was to take a vacation because normally Brian has two weeks off work, the kids are off school, and if we’re on vacation no one can harass to be at their house at a certain time, or bug us to do other holiday junk we don’t want to do. We just want to enjoy some time off together in peace and quiet, you know? But, in an effort to ruin my holiday the company decided they wouldn’t be closing for those two weeks like they usually do. Okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly in an effort to, but it sure felt like it.

Now toy is safe this season, not even the cute and adorable Curious George. Yes, the beloved monkey has been recalled. I am seriously hoping that the boys get loads of American made candies, home made boxes of cookies, and tons of video games and comic books! At least they won’t end up in a coma or with lead poisoning that way.

    [...] If the government really wanted to help they could stop the importing of crap covered in lead and hazerdous materials from China and other foreign countries and allowing it to be put on store shelves and sold without putting our own countries small businesses out of business. AquaDots anyone? How about Curious George toys? [...]
