Looks like it's time for my semi-annual blog. The last couple times I tried I was unable to post pics for whatever reason, so, I mean, why bother then? Anyway I'm knee deep in surfing for playmobil on the net because Casimir has his little three year-old-heart set on a street sweeper for Christmas. He wanted a DHL truck more- every time he'd see a real one cruising the streets, he'd look all downcast and say that he really, really wanted a DHL truck of his very own. To my suprise, I found one rather easily. And let me just tell you, that in case you are exceedingly stupid, like me, do not say anything along the lines of, "oh hey the UPS man brought your Christmas present! But you can't open it for weeks!" Or at least do not so if you have a three-year-old and you possess the will of gumby. All he had to do was say it could be a "winter present" and voila, now I'm looking for a streetsweeper for Christmas. And I had forgotton since my last playdate at Eric's house in around 1982 that playmobil is strangely appealing. Should I also get him this one? Or maybe something like the axeman playmobil figurine like on this page? Playmobil just rocks way more than the Fisher Price Little People, so I'm glad we're moving on up.
