Muppets!

So we ordered the boys Star Wars LEGO advent calendars a while back because they always sell out before October (although you can still get them for the actual price, so they must have made a whole lot more this year or something). But what to get for The Princess who, while she can swing [...]

Stuffed Animal Storage

October 19, 2011

We have a bit of a stuffed animal storage problem at Chez Toy Report. The fluffy overpopulation is reaching problem status. There is a huge wooden chest filled with stuffed animals upstairs, boxes in the attic, an empty duvet cover filled with them downstairs, and all the current favorites on the beds, of course.
