Great story 'fox!!

One of the things I like about Michael is that for all his usual kid wants for toys, he is very good at invention and imagination. I think living here in this throwback village kind of helps that too. Kids have toys and all, but a lot of the time it reminds me of the 50's........and growing up then in the fat, dumb, and happy, midwest was not all a bad thing.

Kids still love the simpler stuff if you show it to them. Another 'Catter sent the boys several things and they have liked them all, some an awful lot and Tris has especially taken to a thing or two......I think this 'Catter is trying to drive me crazy though, but that's another story. A couple of weeks back a package arrived and the boys loved the real presents, but.........the first thing they did was take the bubblewrap and start popping! Dad showed them that stomping was cool too and they took the whole mess down to the den and spent about 20 minutes stomping like mad!!! I walked down the ramp and looked through the bars and Michael turned and said, "Wow Dad, this is a GREAT gift."

Here's to childhoods in simpler times........
