I gave John-Paul (6) and Andrew (5) the Toys r Us Catalog, and told them to look through and make a list of things they liked.
Here's John-Paul's two-sided list:
And here's Andrew's:
So for Advent this year, I'm thinking I should try to be a little MORE like Andrew and a little LESS like John-Paul :)
Oh Colleen! This is perfect! I love this post! I agree with you!
ReplyDeleteMy 9yr old's list looks a lot like John Paul's! I've been a little frustrated that his focus is not on the right things. I realize that a lot of their thoughts reflect their age and not necessarily the values that their parents hold....
Thanks for posting this!
I love it! (And John-Paul has GREAT handwriting.)
ReplyDeleteI love their notes! We have got to do write to Santa! I am hoping to do that soon!
ReplyDeletemy boys want everything in the toys r us catalog evn the girl toys..lol.
ReplyDeletetheir lists are miles long as well.
Haha! This gave me a laugh this morning :)
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, when I was little I think I was like John-Paul.
Nowadays I don't feel like I need much of anything though :)
That looks familiar! :) The girls want EVERYTHING. I remind them daily that the gifts are not what Christmas is about. They get that, but they still want gifts too :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! We should all be a little more like Andrew. =)
ReplyDeleteyea.. me too, i think andrew should be my new role model.. lol!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute.
ReplyDeleteFYI: We love playing apples to apples...STILL!!!!
Good luck with your shopping.

ReplyDeleteAhhh look at those list they are great John Paul has great dreams :). You're too sweet and you picked up your calendars at Trader Joe's you are a fancy nice mom, yup it was the drug store kind for the boys ... LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat Handwriting!

ReplyDelete(And I love Apples to Apples)
Their handwriting looks very nice! Andrew's is coming along fine...
ReplyDeleteIs St. Nicolas coming to bring them a small gift early on his feast day this Sunday?
Ha Ha John-Paul, Are you sure that he didn't just copy the entire catalog?? I think you should get the moon shoes...
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. My Ella who is almost 5 loves making lists. This morning she was making a list for Santa and then she started in on a list of things she needs to get from the store for her party. So cute! You should keep those and frame them.
ReplyDeleteXOXO

How cute is this! Man the wish list... by the by what is apples to apples ...think I need to do some googling!
ReplyDeleteThat is great!!!!!! My 7 and 9 year old asked me to take them to the store so they can think up a list for Santa. Apparently they do not watch enough tv advertising to know what's hot ... LOL!
